Forums Forums Scoop : Ford Escort SI

2.0 ECU's run internal EDOS whereas Fiesta/Escort use external hence why it ran off 1.6 management

If the 2.0 mangament COULD fit the escort dont u think i would have used it? Considering I had a whole car for parts.

o, wots happened here then, wot else you going to do with your car

have first hand experiance will always win over word of mouth. i think you should style the car. or keep it standard for a while until you have saved for a proper engine transplant and stick in a gti or rs2000 engine. i know the 2.0 runs well with the 1.6 ecu as dazza was a fast little fairy and he was "quite" happy with it.

the GTI runs a 115BHP 1.8. The very sanme engine i have. The RS2k engine gets u a RS2K premium.1.8 goes in. End of discussion

Pats bypass i will be trying it out soon and let you know

Just to note - This PAT bypass was in discusion for ages on FEOC and is only a new thing to be tested, it doesnt mean it will work on every wiringloom. Rennie, if it works goodluck as that'll be one hell of a best once its done but id still go for the Unichip for good measure and the extra ponies

i know bud im not saying that it will work just showing the link to the one i know of! its worth a try but not getting my self excited(sp?) over the it

but at this moment i cant justify spending £400+ on the car for a unichip

How old is the 2.0 engine. Would superchips "bluefin" fit the 2.0 ECU and alter its mapping? if it does then i say strive to get the 2.0 ECU in. If you get wiring diagrams of both ECUs and get yourself to a good auto electrician im sure they could make it fit mate. It is simple electrics,not hard to just get rid of the immobiliser all together.And i mean that. Ask any good electrician. Its possible to do anythin.

As for my car. Just met a guy from the jet bodyshop and asked if he could spray stuff for me in his spare time, he said yup as long as he does it all in a oner. So im gettin me spats and rubstips done once i have my skirts. Need to get my old car back so i can slam this Si and get me lexarse lights and interior bits back

They do make a Superchip for the 2.0 but that only alters the ratio of things, if a component isnt running less like it should its not gonna return the settings to OE for a 2.0

also theres a lad on escortevolution who has just fitted the 2.0 ecu into his 2.0 converted 1.6 so i think i will be following his guide when he writes it in the next few days!

Crystal clear side repeaters won bought today. Should be here and fitted on saturday along with the head unit,CD changer and components. Side strips will be coming off on saturday and dependin on how it looks they may be re-fitted after spraying them white

Spray the side strips and put them back on

Looks much bettter on the scorts with colour coded rubstrips than non. My mate took his off, and it looks good, but i dont think as good as the gti's (i might be wrong) that have them coded!

All the GTI's ive ever seen have had them coded and they do look sweet. That GTi i was after just after i wrote the green one off was my idea of a perfect car so im emulatin that as much as possible externally. Think ive finalised my plans for the outside now

Hopefully they will make a set of aftermarket headlights for the scort soon. Not quads but the crystal clear sort. Also want ST side stripes and tints. Then a subtle well suited tailpipe. Thinkin of goin for a twin 3" round or square? Need as much performance as poss from this exhaust tho
