What throttle cable do i need for the efi inlet when changing from mfi?
Cheers

 

xr3i efi, pedal and cable, although afaik you can adapt the mfi pedal?

 

The std cable wont work with an FRST/XR2i Throttle body.

You will need a cable from any escort EFi.

 

Looking back at some older posts on google, apparently you can adapt the throttle cable? Im just converting to efi and didnt have a clue you would have to do this, is there any way around buying 3i cable and pedal? doesnt seem to be many around on ebay or anywhere, what other ones can be used if any?

Anyone got any part numbers for the EFI Cable? Genuine Ford number or Firstline, QH?...

Think Genuine number is 6129816 But need to confirm??

Rs turbo length cable is 997mm
Anyone got messurments for EFI one also? Is it like 1185mm?

 

ERST throttle cable is held in place on the throttle by a metal clip on a ball at both ends same as a cosworth.

FRST has a slot for the cable to slide through and pin which is held in place with spring tension. Its similar to a push bike cable. At the pedal end its a rubber gromet and large ball to stop it pulling through the hole in the pedal.



In your case just use the correct cable.


For other setups that use a cosworth throttle body an Escort type cable must be used, although the pedal type does not matter as it can be modified.

Hope that helps.

Ok so could i get away with using a frst cable?

 

not with an escort mfi pedal.
