Will using a xr2i loom work for a straight swap for efi conversion?

 

Don't think you can use the xr2i loom mate

 

you cam use the engine loom, with some changes to run ofab or ofac

 

Have you any ideas of what needs adapting?

 

I'm fairly certain that the changes are with the map sensor wiring. RS bible has/had some good info about this. If you have a multimeter it wouldn't be hard to check your loom and make the changes.

Rob,

 

PS, the xr2i loom obviously won't have amal valve wiring either, but that wouldn't be such an issue if you were using an external form of boost control.

 

It's in the sticky on here, how to convert from mfi to efi

 

cheers rob i will have a look, yea will be using a MBC first off with external wastegate so it wont be needed.

From when i last read i thought that was for converting a xr3i loom, am i right in saying the xr2 n xr3 looms are different

 

2i loom with ofac is pretty much plug and play but the air temp sensor plug will need swapping for a turbo one, for ofab there will be pin changes which can be found on rs bible. do a search on here and im sure ull find something, its een covered plenty of times

 

There's a guide for changes needed to each of the different looms here

All the info you could need The forum seems much friendlier these days, good to see every one helping each other again.

Rob,

 

Spot on guys cheers!

 

It was getting stupidly bitchy. Silly really as we're all here for the same reason

 

Tell me about it lol, I haven't really logged on much recently because of it.

 

I went vauxhall because of it then realised they are total inbreds

 

Hahaha, you think the vaux forums are bad, you should try the bmw ones!

Rob,

 

What so bad about these other forums then ? Cliquey or just plain rude and unhelpful ?

 

Tbh I don't really use other forums that much, the bmw ones seem friendly enough just boring. All about cleaning this or paying bmw to change that. About a million posts about turbo conversions but no one doing them. Nothing really technically interesting like you get on here sometimes. I can't comment on the vaux forums tho.

 

passionford or the odd look on stoc, thats it for general car stuff for me.
