Motorsport head?

Using an n/a inlet for efi turbo is a hell of a lot of machining and fabrication. There's no sensor holes and nowhere to mount a fuel rail, and the injector ports need reeming. Looks nice when it's done but it's not a straight swap

Should look like this:



Use a XR2i/XR3i EFI fuel rail, mod the MFI injector sandwich plate for EFI injectors (just needs wider holes), take off some material from the inlet... done. Won't need EFI head then.







ERST throttle body bolts straight onto RSi inlet. You also can use a XR3i MFI inlet, but then you'll need an Escort MK3 one or at least the adaptor plate of a MK3 to fit the rectangular throttle body to the triangular shape of the XR3i inlet.

A friend of mine used WM in his ERST S1 with RSi inlet and a modded ERST throttle body.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I can't see how to subscribe on my phone, and can't leave tags anymore, but I need to find this again tomorrow.

Sorry!
