molten Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hisomeone I know is braking a 90s escort. What electronic parts should I take of with view to future efi on spitfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsprint Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Coil pack and leads, crank sensor. If it has edis ignition then the edis unit and wiring loam. That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molten Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Throttle body any use off escort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsprint Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It will have a zetec. Engine. So the injectors are a different type to normal and mount into a sandwich plate that bolts between the head and the manifold. It also incorporates the fuel rail and fuel pressure valve into this casting so are no good for anything other than a zetec. The fuel pump is mounted inside the tank so of very limited use. The throttle body is quite a big casting that also incorporates the idle valve. So in my opinion no use either. There are better throttle bodies out there for pence.

Bainzy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 My advice having done EFI would be fit the parts that are best suited to what you want to create, not the ones that just happen to be conveniently sourced. Otherwise what's the point of spending all that time/expense on it to still be left with loads of compromises?As Paul remarked about the throttle bodies, most of the hardware can be sourced via OEM items off scrapped cars for little money, especially if you're in no rush and can afford to sit waiting for ebay bargains. It's primarily the ECU and all the little plumbing & electrical components that tend to make it expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
