Default engine tuning

Hi may name is carlos and im spanish, sorry for my inglish is no very good, im working changing te body in a 1989 ford escort rs turbo s2, and the last year i go tu ingland and y foun a magazine called(performance ford) and im really imprest for all wat you doing with this car in england, in spain no any information for how tuning engines.

then i have 3 questions, i want to change the original manifold for a fiesta rs turbo and i want to change te inyecction for the electronic EFI,
Wat i need for make this change the most perfect possible? i need the ford fiesta ECU,fuel rail and pressure regulator?

the other cuestion is about the turbo, hay want to change for a hybrid T3, but, i wave to change the pistons for more strongs or low comp, or only i have to change somthing else.

And my last question, how can i change te rear breaks for a disc breaks? a hear somthing about te ford focus or the ford sierra 4x4, wat is beter?.

and the last thing is? anybody speaks spanish, for mi is realy difficult to now all the technical engine words?

and some web page interesting for found second hand parts?.

Hola que tal Carlos welcome to Passion Ford. Vivo en Londres, i can speak a little Spanish as i learnt it at school. As for the questions you need to go for a Hybrid Turbo, Hybrid means that its made from different parts. In most Hybrid Turbos they are made stronger and have a 360degree thrust bearing this will make the internal part of the turbo stronger and it will last longer also this wiil allow you to run more boost so buy either a stage 1 or 2 hybrid turbo. As for the rear discs i think what most people do over here in England is fit the Ford Focus st170 disc conversion.And for the engine if you want to run loads of power then rebuild your engine with low commpresion pistons to allow you to run high boost the best of luck with this What part of Spain do you come from i just recently got back from IBIZA it was a excellent holiday and shall be returning there next year ADIOS

to change the injection for EFI you will need Fiesta turbo ECU/engine wiring loom/inlet manifold with fuel rail/regulator, im not sure what else if anything you will need.

Rear disc conversion, you need brackets to mount the caliper and you can use 4x4 sierra rear discs/calipers or maybe 2wd calipers and 4x4 discs or vise versa, you will also need an RS2000 handbrake cable for this. their is a website detailing the full conversion and what to do, i will try and find it for you.

Focus ST170 conversion we usually use the front brakes!

Hope this helps!

Do u not need an efi head to run the efi inlet as the inj ports are a diff shape???

U'll also need an efi flywheel, crank sensor, coil pack, ht leads, efi rev counter, cross over, acc cable and pedal, Go for an xr3i efi loom not frst (2pins have to be changed not sure which tho) u may as well fit a frst engine

The injector recesses can be directly grinded into a MFI head.
