Default EFI Questions

Hi Guys,

couple of questions regarding mfi 2 efi using fiesta bits.

ive been offered some of the parts for this,and sourced a few others.

efi inlet,ofab ecu,xr3i efi loom,

i wish to keep my crossover pipe as its a 75 quid auto specialists one,what do i use to blank of the act sensor on the crossover pipe?

also my my car is chipped,can i use the chip to put in the ofab ecu??im guessing not and il have to buy a new one.

also how functional is the ofab ecu in comparison to say gotech mfi? i know its a cheaper unit,but is it actually any good?

cheers

OFAB and OFAC compared to Gotech, Omex, Megasquirt, Emerald, etc... is useless!! It cant be live maped which means you can only buy a of the shelf chip, plug it in, and get somewhere between 160bhp and 200bhp based on your mods, all you can adjust is the base fuel pressure, and idle CO/speed.

Yes mate IMO it's a pointless converison unless your on a really tight budget and or only want sub 200bhp.
