Default converting an rst mfi loom to efi???

is it possible, and if so how do you do it?

basicially its for a mate of mine, he is turboing his orion which started life as a fairly basic 1.4 carb.

he wanted to add extras like electric windows as well as putting the turbo in.

he has found someone stripping an orion turbo that has all the electrics but is running an mfi engine.

any sugestions on what he should do as far as looms go???

cheers in advance

TBH mate I'd tell him to go and get a loom from an EFi managed Mk4 Escort or Orion, will save him the hassle

Or if he does want to do it that way its not a prob, I did it to my Escort myself, 7 wires to plumb in if I remember rightly.

You need the loom from a FRST/XR2i (also depending on whether you want OFAC or OFAB) and the fuel pump and injector relays

Its been done to death in the Escort RS Turbo room so have a search in there
