Just wondering whats involved; ie what bits do you need and what the advantages/disadvantages are?

 

ive done the conversion on my erst estate,i used an efi xr3i wiring loom in mine just had to chop 1 wire on the edis module,as i bought a complete xr3i it had everything i needed like the iscv and inlet manifold and a few other parts,also had to get a map sensor,act sensor and frst ecu aswell,if you use ofac management you dont have to change any wires at the ecu and the ofac map sensor just plugs straight in,if you use ofab management you have to change 2 wires at the ecu and the ofab map sensor has a different plug fitting and the wires have to be changed aswell,hope this helps

Cheers mate, the cars a coverted xr3i cabri so would all the wires be there already?

 

if its a G or H reg car then it should all be there,what engine is in it at the moment then or nothing,also to answer your other question about advantages/disadvantages,i think the efi is more reliable and maybe a bit more scope for tuning at a higher power level but dont hold me to that

 

The cars on an E, and there's an 88 RST engine in it, but the metering unit's fecked. I wanna get a reliable 200 bhp out of it, would I be best sticking with the KE Jet or swapping to EFI? (If I did go efi, It would be weber, cause I've already got half the bits!!)

 

if you already got half the bits i would go webber, its a great conversion

 

Can anyone write me a shoping list please?
I've got a L6, loom from a 2wd saff, TPS, Crank Sensor and a phase sensor and I can lay my hands on a set of yellows
What would I use to mount the CPS? Does anyone make a ring or anything to go on the crank pulley?
Ta for the advice peeps, its apreciated

 

oddkiddcreations.co.uk will sell you a trigger ring and CPS mount and tell you what else you need

Here you go...

This is a list of what parts are needed / what parts need modified in order to convert over to cossie management.

Cossie Ecu
Cossie engine loom
Cossie air charge sensor
Cossie coolant sensor
Cossie throttle sensor ( PF01 if L6 ecu or PF09 if L8 )
Cossie idle speed control valve ( and remote housing if using ERST throttle body ) i have a remote housing if you need one
Cossie throttle body or ERST one works just aswell
Cossie ignition amplifier and heatsink
Injectors ( dependant on engine spec )
Map sensor ( dependant on engine spec ) get a 3bar, then you can run more than 1 bar boost
Efi inlet manifold - FRST / XR2i / XR3i ( will need some welding and re tapping to fit parts )
Efi fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator you will need a 4x4 regulater
Efi cylinder head or Mfi to Efi adaptor plate ( Grove Garage Ł100, 01708 726518) 8 month wait for plate, i can get one if needed
Camshaft position sensor and brackets ( I can supply for Ł60 )
Cranshaft position sensing equipment;
Can use modified original bottom pulley or
1800 Cvh bottom pulley with timing ring ( 36 – 1 teeth )
1800 Cvh crank sensor and bracket
1800 Cvh alternator pulley
1800 Cvh alternator belt
1800 Cvh alternator bracket and adjusting arm

Note, all the 1800 Cvh parts require slight modification to fit and work.

Modifications needed for weber parts

Air charge sensor - M14 x 1.5mm thread if you are using efi inlet, fit this in the o/e air temp hole, either drill o/e sensor then tap it, or fill and tap
Coolant sensor - again fit in o/e position, either use a blanking plug and drill and tap or fill and tap
Alternator brkt - 4mm machined off driver side to line up with crank pulley
Remove spacer between fan and pulley on alternator
Pull off pick up ring on crank pulley and smooth out so it spins freely, remove all teeth except 4 at 90 degrees to each other, add 2 grubs screw to lock it
5mm washer / spacer needed between crank bolt and pulley ( aswell as original one )
Cut down 1800 cvh crank sensor brkt just above the bottom fixing holes
Manifold needs welding and shaping for throttle body

Loom.
Crank sensor - swap the 2 wires round in the plug if using EEC sensor
Cam sensor - swap the 2 wires round in the plug if using EEC sensor

hope this helps

 

Would it be easier to just fit an 1800 cvh alternator? or just the pully onto the 1600 alt?

 

proberly be easier to fit the 1800 cvh set up
