Default EFI inlet

Ive had a efi inlet manifold sitting around for ages and am now going to be using it on my efi conversion soon. the only thing is i was looking at it tonight and it doesnt have the bolt holes on the left hand side for the iscv so im guessing it wont work for the conversion? thanks

Mine doesn't either, think mine was off an xr3i... what management are you using? as some people don't bother fitting them, i did see some remote ISCV's a while ago.

Yea i would guess so, cosworth throttle body would probably work mate, would have to double check that tho, as it has the iscv in the body its self.

Remote ISCV mate. Earlier cars and XR2i's had them. They are the ones to use for Cosworth management conversions or when using a Cossie throttle body.

or for my gotech mfi you have to block the holes up and bin the idle control as the ecu controls it.....

its a good management and a piece of piss to do mate.... might be worth not bothering with the fiesta stuff and putting a proper ecu on it

IIRC Gotech MFI doesnt have any idle air control at all, hence why you block it off, IME thats crap because you then either need a high base idle when warm to compensate, or a really low (like 600rpm) idle when cold.

IMO Gotech MFI is a bodge, for the price of a coil pack and some EFI plug leads (£60 ish) why bother keeping the crappy dizzy??
Yeah you need a CPS of some sort but thats not hard... drill the block, Sierra CVH setup, trigger wheel, or even a Cam sensor will do.

yes you would benifit greatly because you can take complete control of the timing and ignition and fueling when the car is being mapped its mapped to be perfect.

with ofac... or ofab your limited to what you can do....

something like say gotech mini x is realy easy to fit speak to jamsport about a plug and play loom with no messing around and you just lose the metering unit and mod the fuel lines and you keep all you dizzy but fit the efi inlet with some greens and no idle control needed but then with the right engine your set for 250bhp+
