Aternoon all.

I am a very proud owner of a RS1600i that "Car SOS" tv program took away, Stripped down and rebuilt with new everything! Without me knowing.
It has a dizzy but I want to put it back to twin coils.
Could anyone tell me what is required, and how I should do it please.
Many thanks in advance

 

the best bit of advice i could give you mate is join up on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk ,theirs a whole world of information and great guys willing to help you on there

 

Coils for a start obviously,a pick up lead and an ECU.Your car may still have the lead and the ECU though as mine did although they weren't in use due to it having a dizzy too.

ECU if it's there will be down below the steering wheel on the right hand side,cover is held on with 2 screws.The lead should be grey and be visible coming from the gearbox if it's still there.

These parts are quite hard to get a hold of in good working order now and I don't think I've ever seen the whole kit for sale together.

Be prepared to pay good money for parts as they aren't cheap.

 

Thanx Stevenr for that quick reply. I have just bought two coils and will take a look under the bonnet tomorrow.

Post pictures. Love to see them

 

No problem.Glad to help.

There's a guide on the RSOC forum I think showing how it's all done but I think you have to be a paid member to see that part now,not sure so worth a look.

You might even find it on the site mentioned above too,www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk

Don't worry about the name,all mk3 Escorts are welcome

 

Post some pics mate would love to see. Love the rs 1600 you dont see to many around any more.

LIFE'S SHORT SO FLOOR IT.
