As above! how easy is it to do the wiring? i.e. can i use my existing efi loom and just swap the pins on the ecu over? or is it a bit more complex? all help would b much appreciated ppl!,

incidentally it is the ecu that can handle the higher boost, not sure if its ofac or ofab

 

if you have all the bits you need from a fiesta then all you need to change is the engine,ecu,map sensor,and obviously the turbo ( but id go for a T3 from an escort turbo) everything is there in the orion ready for you! advice on the the turbo tho,see if you can get hold of a turbo like a hybrid that has a 48 exhaust housing as you then wont have to make an elbow shape pipe,and all you have to do is put an escort turbo system on and then just get a longer backbox! good luck with the conversion!!! let me know how you get on.

 

Cheers m8, i already have changed the turbo and manifold for a t3 and have an exhaust sitting,all im worried about is the ecu? do i just take my old one out and plug a new one in? or do i have to change the pins on the plug?

 

you need to check if you have O-FAB or O-FAC system,not 100% sure mate,all i know is you need to swap everything from the fiesta (thats if you r taking bits off a written off one or whatever) and just put it on to yours then take it to get it set up!

 

Bomber find out what ecu youve got mate and give us a pm and ill sort you out
thanks
