s1 should b the same but s2 has only 2 outlets so u would need to tee off for the fronts,it also has a bigger bore size of 25mm,great 4 all disc conversion as i have one on my cortina.

some late xr's had mechanical abs driven by a belt on drive shaft

Don't think it was much good

xr3i 1990 has a 23mm master cylinder 4 outlets, not great but better than nothing, if you can get a brand new one it will work pretty well.
