Does anyone know if a S1 turbo block has the holes needed for the Crank Position Sensor to convert to EFI?

Ryan

nope only fiesta blocks did as far as im aware, as they were EFI

easy to do though, just drill the hole yourself in the right position

Or use 1.8 sierra stuff if you dont want to take a drill to the block

will it not damage anything tho???

Jay-A

i was thinking that, are the bits easy enough to source??

If you can find one in a scrappy, they're not that rare
Just get the cambelt cover with the sensor in, bottom pulley and the alternator and a belt to suit. Chop the cover just above the bolt holes and it'll all bolt on

thought you were doing cossie management jay or you given up on that idea now? id say drill the block mate and get the right fly wheel, ive been looking for that bracket and sensor for ages and it took ages to find the alternator bracket, they usually get taken straight away on scrapppers, gadbury in atherton had one and i rang em the minute i knew and he said it had been taken almost straight away!

The block is easy to drill, it's the position that's a little tricky. Easiest way is to take a template from a block with the hole already in it. Although it would be possible to VERY carefully mark it taking a reference from the Flywheel itself.

nah not given up on that yet sam, but want the car ready for Ford Fair so just gonna do the efi conversion for now and then the cossie management later on when more funds are raised, especially now disneyworld is booked!!! had a look on ebay and that one popped up, rang him and he said it had gone already, lol!!!

Zetecfiesta
