ive bought a new MFI Turbo engine for my motor, and i noticed when i got it home that it has the hold for a CPS, which i think means it can be used to run an EFI setup?

 

what exactly is needed for that, and what can be used of my existing setup to do it?

 

im not planning on doing it anytime soon, but i'd like to know what works involved so i can decide if its worth it at a later date.

just means its a 90spec block... if you find your inlet manifold don't fit then its an efi head

 

you'd need an efi wiring loom ecu inlet,injectors map sensor etc and a flywheel with the correct pickup points (i think the escort 16v one is ok)

or and an adaptor plate to fit the efi manifold

so the MFI head is ok as long as its an EFI inlet? or would an EFI head be easier?

 

doesnt sound like much of a parts list tbh. any idea on how much work fitting the EFI loom is James?

 

cheers for the reply btw fella

Just bear in mind that if you go to EFI, then you will also need a suitable chip, map sensor and injectors which won't necessarily be very cheap.

very true, depending on the power level your aiming for it might be an unneccessary expense fitting efi

I don't think any of the erst's ran efi. afaik the frst's did so you probably have a frst block. *waits to be shot down in flames*

your correct.

unless you were going for power over 250 then efi would be better , but there are stil escorts out there running more than 250 on the standard mfi setup.

they didnt, but AFAIK some came with the crank sensor hole and kept the blocks the same.

 

i can pick up and OFAB loom and map sensor cheap, then its just injectors and whatever else is needed. ive had some strouble with my metering unit so if i can get rid of it then i will, but as i said not right at this moment in time.

the 90 spec escort turbos shared the block with the FRST... which as reid rightly said has the cps hole in it.

it about time i started to know what i was going on about

 

cheers guys
