EFI conversion
im shortly about to carry this conversion out, im going to use my erst head with a adaptor plate for the frst mainifold.
does any 1 know if i need any other adapter plates other than the inlet plate?
has anyone carried out this efi conversion?
also when the conversion has been carried out, what mods will i need for around 180bhp. a stage 1 turbo will be going on aswell

A: No, you can run a wire from pin 11 on the E-DIS unit, to the back of your dash pod, to the tachometer input. This will give you a clean RPM signal.
this above is at the bottom of the page on this link

I used a fiesta turbo block so it had the EFi flywheel and CPS already there
if you keep the escort turbo charge pipe you will need to get a bit of Samco that will reduce the sizes down (the fiesta turbo throttle body is bigger)
any more questions just give me a shout

Doesn't it matter that in the EFI head inlet ports, there are places drilled in for the injectors, and in the KE-Jet head there are none?
Is it noticeable, that the injectors are not so close to the valves, and do not inject diretly to them?

Heres the plate im getting
the adapter plate isnt just made for the mainifold to fit the head, in the yellow circles your see machined grooves for the fuel to go through and is aimed into the cylinder and no all over the plate
is that what you was worried about?

Could you please tell some additional information about it? I think it's made from plans, measurements, not from somebodys own idea about the sizes, angles, etc.
Thanks!
