Default From mfi to efi for 350 quid sound ok?

Right iv got the chance to buy all fiesta turbo parts to convert my escort to efi, ofab ecu, loom, sensors, inlet, throtle cable, injectors, flywheel, dissy, leads,

All I need is the adaptor plate for head,

Will come with beige injectors and a collins chip
All for 350 quid is this the right kind of price?

And would the injectors flow enough on my 2.1 zvh

Cheers for advice

beige (701s) arnt that great to be honest they would be maxed out on a 2.1 imo
if it was me ide go for OFAM with FRST loom or megasquirt. (down side is more money)
ofab isnt cheap to remap and not may places do it, imo other than reliability you wont again much if anything over mfi with that set up.

Or go cossie management, cheaper to remap more places can do it and far better and cheaper injector choices.

Thanks for advice might look into cost of cosworth management then, if I had a ofam ecu do I still need all the ofab sensors flywheel and inlet etc or will some of my mfi parts be used

not 100% sure on the sensors tbh but you will need a efi flywheel, OFAM just replaces the OFAB ecu but its easier and cheaper to remap since its based on megasquirt or free if you do it your self and being MS based i would guess you can use any type of injectors where as OFAB use high impedance.

Unless you get a chip for the back a remap on OFAB is around £400 and once you get bored with the beige injectors its another 400 for another remap ect

Think cossie can be remapped for around £150-250 and you can run 803 (greens) good enough for 300+bhp

Carnt remember of the top of my head but i think 701s are around 226cc enough for about 200bhp give or take and you will be able to get that from MFI.

To get to my point lol
OFAB cheaper to buy > more to mod
MS More to buy > cheaper to mod

Got ya, been looking on boost monkeys at the ecu and ther doin a near complete kit to go from mfi to ofam just need few parts, but no price for it yet, the ecu is 380 which seems a fair price

yeh my thoughts too, ill deffo be trying OFAM in the future it seems to tick all the boxes.

Literally OFAB and OFAC are just too expensive to mod and i think there only a small handful or company's that can actually remap it.
