Norris Motorsport told me had it in for a setup he went over it and told me what he thinks it needs but ain't got the funds to do that as I use the car everyday and not after massive power just useable I know he knows what he is talking about just need some other opinions cheaper as well lol thanks

My car is currently in with jano at Oddkidd creations being converted to EFI with cossie (weber) management.. Is costing roughly 1750/1800 .. I believe that this is an awesome upgrade/solution.

Fraggle...

Fella standard ECU's can be had for not alot of doe...
which one are they saying is dead, fuel, spark, or both ( black or silver)..?

IIRC as long as you find the relevant fuel ecu(silver one iirc, and is either hearts/diamonds of coloured squares iirc again..) then i cant see it being too much hassle to sort.
Ive sold x4 known proven good silvers for £25-£50 each posted and blacks were like a score each as noone wanted standard ecu's at the time...

The looms are PISS easy to fix BUT gotta ideally tag and remove from car tbh its alot easier, a good friday to monday could do it, in/out an fixed with a handy mate about

Or see above, chaps converting his so praps buy his old gear.. or bite the OKC bullit and go cozzie...I would!!


Either way all the best an dont sell it, its MFI so plenty of knowledge about far far greater than mine, it can be saved

Jimbo-m-89

Yeah my loom and Ecu's will be available cheap once it's done I've got no use for them haha

Haha no I'm having it converted so that it's more reliable, not so I can start blowing turbos and exhausts haha ,, ALS does sound awesome though!

Just spoke to them again and they are saying I've got no oil pressure when it's hot so new engine as well. well pissed off tbh just trying to see how much it would cost to sort a decent engine and maybe efi loom and go from there

Mixja

Just had my std mfi rs turbo stage 1 chipped an set up @ grove garage, Romford, best 500 sovs I've ever spent, drives like a dream now, and fuckin nippy wiv it....
Who needs efi lol...??!

RSmark84

Could be oil pump knackered or oil pick up pipe blocked?

have you been told what pressure there is?

foci18

Not been told what pressure was gonna wait till I get it back Friday and have a look. Is it easy to change to efi as I noticed a few are forsale

hi mate ive just had my escort rs turbo converted to efi gadget done it speak to him top man he is, or get all the cossie stuff and ask him to do it i saw all the cossie parts from someone on ebay from a fiesta for 450 good luck with it mate

B19 JUB

very very good uprgrade.my orion was converted by him a few years back as i bought the car already done.needs to go in for a set up as it massively overfuels when cold and also upgrading the injectors too.
nice smooth operation with great power delivery too and reliable

foci18

Thanks for all the advice gonna wait till I get it home and do a compression check as it don't smoke or use oil at all so fingers crossed I will let you all know the out come

Mines going in to Norris on friday for a setup, might see you lol

foci18

Good luck I hope yours don't end up like mine lol might see you there

90spec_RSmith

lol i hope not mate coz i haven't got that sort of money either! mine went to a garage end of last year for some work on the loom and they said it needs a good setup, so hopefully it will be ok, are you local aswell then?

It's a lot of money for 2nd hand parts

beaver rs 88

glad im not the only one whos thinking this

Jimbo-m-89

It is .. But there is a lot of parts and a lot of work going into it.. And to me, having a car that will start on the button, allways run smooth without detonation and be much more reliable is worth much more than its costing me.. If it wasn't my daily driver then I wouldn't be doing it... : )

luke19790_3

Is that with wasted spark?

Jimbo-m-89

No I think it's another 220 to run a coilpack as well ...

luke19790_3

What

foci18

Yea not to far away birmingham what about you

90spec_RSmith
