Does anyone know how much it would cost to convert my mfi to efi as lots of tuners are saying its not very good. Unless they are saying that just so you choose there management and spend a shed load of money

 

If your going to do the work yourself your looking at between 350-500 for standard ofab/c

For custom setup pic a number really

 

I'm gonna fit the engine myself but anything to do with the loom I'm screwed gonna ring around a few places in the week and get some prices is it worth doing tho?

 

Efi is tonnes better and more reliable, I'd say the tuners are talking crap but who am I to say. I have owned an efi turbo engine for about 3 years and its been brilliant. But tbh I've never owed an mfi RS turbo lol a lot of the people I know who had mfi Rst had a lot of probs. I bought my engine with all looms ecu turbo, and LSD box for 350 ( lucky find) turbo tank n pump for 50 and hoses for 150 all in samcos and front mount and ally rad for 300 together with all other bits n bobs and a tune it probably cost me around 1200 fitting and wirings the easy part. I'd never done anything like it in my life but just got on with it to save me money lol. I ain't no mechanic just an electrician but anybody can do it. Use www.rsbible.com for wiring I got quoted 1000 to wire mine by auto electrician cheeky git lol also try and aim for ofab if u can rather than ofac.
Most people can help you on here though mate.

 

Cheers for the help gonna try source all the bits first and see if one of my mates who knows what he's doing will give me a hand

 

Ok sound there's only 4 or 5 main wires to connect up so you'll be fine

 

I think the OP was saying that tuners said MFI was crap, not EFI.

 

No they said efi was crap as well saying it never worked well when it was new never mind 20 years later.. I think they just wanted me to spend mega money on a new management system!!

 

You make it sound really easy lol I wish I had the know how to give it a bash lol

 

My mfi daily drive @ the min, never had any grief wiv it... Goes well enuff an all...

 

Best way to learn is just do it. That is wat I found. First engine conversion I did was drop a mk5 rs2000 engine in my mk4 escort. I used this site for help of people but I learnt how to fit engine by basicly just doing it lol. Then ripped it out n dropped the efi Rst engine in and did it on my own using RSbible been great lol
