hi there

im planning a xr2i turbo conversion but already confused by efi and mfi ?
was planning to buy bottom end and use my head as its only done 80k and is running kent cam etc, but what inlet manifold can i use etc any help would be great

 

Try ask on fiestaturbo.com they'll have all your answers

 

If it was me i would go EFi.

 

Is it an xr2i u have? if so.... its already efi and that cam wont do for a turbo engine and you would keep your inlet and prob just change the injectors if needed

 

i did a turbo conversion on mine a while back.use a fiesta turbo block,pistons.you can use your head but will need a fiesta turbo camshaft.management wise use inlet manifold but will need a fiesta turbo air charge temp sensor,map sensor,ecu and a bit of loom change needed.injectors will be fine for a simple set up but will need beiges if going 195 route.

hope that helps a bit

 

hi
yeah its efi now was planning to keep my head wasnt sure about the cam the best option would be buy complete fiesta turbo engine but they seem really pricey and if there out the car not sure what im buying as they all seem to say was running fine. by finding a good bottom end and building my own engine i no it will be sound just really confused about the inlet side are are some escorts efi and some mfi?

 

escort turbos are all mfi (mechanical fuel injection) and run a metering head and disctributor unless they have been converted to efi (electronic fuel injection) from a fiesta turbo.people convert to efi because its more reliable

 

i get ya thanks mate

 

cheers mate just the standard set up will do for now sounds stright forward enough will the air charge sensor etc just fit or do i need to modify where they go thanks for your help

 

charge sensor needs an adaptor to fit into the manifold as its smaller than the original one.i made one when i worked at fords out of a focus power steering pump union
