Default Series 2 ERST Fuse Box & Loom Question?

Hello everyone.

im currently in the process of converting my Series 2 Escort RS Turbo from MFI to EFI & the only part im stuck on now is the loom/fuse box.

Can i use the Original Series 2 fusebox & just splice the EFI loom on to the MFI loom?

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well I'm currently running MFI .. Have been considering getting rid of the MFI lump I want more power by doing an EFI swap! Want to start getting all the bits and pieces together so I can get it done for the summer!

i'd look for a efi loom and replace the lot, but you modify what you have and fit the engine loom from a efi

im going the splice the loom as you say gup due to a few people saying they have done it before with no problems.

Also another problem i have is people telling me to run OFAB due to a better map sensor & more tuneable but then some say use OFAC as its easier to adapt the loom the the standard series 2 fusebox etc.

Is this correct or not?
