[rs1800/m]

can i use my original ecu? i have a 1995 rs1800 which i am turboing hopefully,just getting bits and pieces and finding out as much info as possible,i have been looking at the zetec turbo sites for hours,i have learnt alot,just stuck a bit when it comes to ecu and injectors? i only want to run about 180bhp so it is still reliable ish! any help would be great!

you won't be able to use the rs1800 ecu cos it won't know whats happening when the turbo kicks in - you will need a fiesta turbo ecu of some sort.

Excursion and Project are masters on this topic (amongst many others), take a look at their sites.

afaik a Fez turbo ecu can run the zetec's

I'm sure someone will confirm this soon enough

[rs1800/m]

so can i use my loom then? or most of it? just change the ecu? what about my inlet manifold and injectors? will they cope with 180bhp?

[zetec69]

You'll prob have to change most of the loom or splice another one into yours. Would like to know more about this aswell if anyone knows???

Use a FRST ECU. U dont need to change ur injectors or inlet manifold if ur only going for 180 brake.

What are the flow rates on the Zetec injectors Chum?

Have a look at http://st2000.s5.com/fzetecturbo.html - it should get you thinking

[AndyRS1800]

Sounds good to me... How much will this cost me?

I dont know Proj. So ur research tells u, u will need to change injectors?

cheers for the replys still need to find out more about the wiring and injectors,i have owned 2 escort turbos before so i know most of the mechanical side of things,but just a bit stuck with ecu+injectors,i might be best to use the fiesta turbo inlet manifold and injectors and get a adapter plate made up,i would prefer to use mine as it already fits,any more info about making up a custom injector rail on my inlet manifold so i can use the end fed injectors? any info on this would be great the more the better cheers

because i will be blocking the front breather off because of the t3,would it be possible or ok to put a breather coming from the top of the sump just below the block? it will be alot easyier than drilling and tapping into the block itself thats all?i know i have to put a oil return in the front of the sump!

[rs1800/m]

anyone know?

[Project]

Yep, you can do that - see http://www.fiestaprojects.com for more info on where to place these breathers

[rs1800/m]

ok tanks mate,very helpfull! i still dont know what inlet manifold to use,i am trying to decide,if i use the frst ecu and wiring can i use my inlet manifold? or is it best to use the frst inlet manifold?

aint one of the better ways to run some managment instead, i know top of the range omex is expensive but they do other ranges, which will allow for future develpment on the engine....
