I have not looked at the Jampsort website but IIRC Gotech MFI is designed to use the Dizzy, if you want to run a coil pack you will probably need another version of Gotech.

There is no difference between a MFI head and a EFI head except the inlet manifold port shapes!
So yes you can run 250bhp on either head

mico fuel injection the mfi uses the dizzy as a triger to fire the injectors if you want to run a coil pack you will need the go-tech mfi pro or the pro x but that uses a 36-1 trigger wheel

now this is what i meant,i have a fully rebuilt efi engine...block and head and was wondering if i could run the dizzy,im sure i could of but does not seem the case, the management comes with an mfi inlet and injectors which goes over the gearbox like the 3i style this should be ok to fit efi head,but its the dizzy part which i doubted would fit the efi headif i could run the coilpack it would be perfect,then i wouldnt need to refurb my other mfi head

how about what with you already running a coil pack you just go for the better version of gotech and use the gotech pro version as you have already won half the battle converting to efi. its a backwards step going back to using a dizzy.

apparantly the gotech mfi uses cossie injectors or electronic injectors whilst still using the dizzy,this system is for sale in the rs turbo parts section,and would be perfect for you to keep your dizzy and have aftermarket management on the cheap,but if you want to run efi ie.....head coil pack etc you would need the pro or above this is what i have learnt,thanks guys all involved

if you opt for the gotech mfi management system they offer a modified inlet, and fuel rail at jamsport, which allows you to continue running the escort rs turbo head. This is the cheaper option as it uses the dizzy to determine engine timing. however the better version, gotech pro or even pro x you will need a flywheel and a crank sensor, you could still get away with leaving the head on from the escort and just use the modified rail to use injectors. my escort rs turbo is going into jamsport next month for gotech pro to be fitted as my rs already uses fiesta efi. going for around the 250 horse power mark.

You will basically need to run a complete fiesta rs turbo management system basically to enable yourself to have gotech pro. this way its easier to fit injectors ect. however you are better off supplying your own flywheel and stuff. and fit it all else they will charge you the earth however you wont be able to drive it there without it running so may be difficult. in mine i am running a zvh and i dont think the escort rs turbo block has a cut out the crank sensor. something for you to look at. but for gotech pro i am going to pat around 1000 plus vat for it all to be done and i am supplying my own injectors.

cheep way of making a 36-1 trigger set up is to use the 1.8 sierra cvh bottom pully as it has the trigger wheel fitted as standard you will also need the timeing belt cover and chop the bottom off as this is where the crank sensor is fitted

I dont think thats right mate, Gotech will have it's own loom?! It doesnt require you to have a Fezzy loom already fitted, what would it want that for?
You might want to use the connectors off the loom for sensors, plugs, etc.. but that would be about it, even then you can buy them new for pennies to make a neater job!

To run a Gotech Pro or a Pro-X you can use a 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 Zetec flywheel or an EFI CVH flywheel, you use the standard Ford crank sensor.
Gotech is supplied with an almost fully terminated loom.
You can get rid of all the old engine loom and ECU.
You can use the standard water temp sensor in some application and use the Gotech supplied water temp sensor in the other applications.
As said before you can use high and low impedance injectors.
Use the standard Ford coil pack.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
