escortrs2000.co.uk Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Morning all! I'm progressing really well with my cabby EFi turbo conversion. Just a few more wires to lengthen, fluid change and fit the exhaust and I'm done! The issue I have is that I don't know which connection to use for my ISCV. I have the ISCV on the side of the inlet manifold and there is a plug in the loom in the correct location to connect to it. But, I thought that the ISCV was on the inner wing where I have another connection that will fit. My question is (without buzzing it out as I'm not near the car) are these two connections connected together so that either could be used or do I need to use the one at the inner wing? Cheers in advance! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortrs2000.co.uk Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) This is interesting. I found the attached pic in another thread, it appears to have the ISCV on the inlet and some kind of pulse solenoid on the air box. I guess the loom I have is similar, I know it's from a late MK4. I'll tape the one on the inner wing back an use the one next to the ISCV for it. Lee Edited November 9, 2012 by escortrs2000.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Champy13 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Its off mine lol,the picture shows it was fitted incorrectly as it has two iscv on it. Mine works fine with the connections you mentioned as the loom seems to have them both there. i removed the iscv mounted on the airbox and used the connection higher up for the correct iscv which is for the 2nd/3rd gen units. Theres 3 types of systems and if you check the thread it should explain what is and isnt correct. I have since corrected it, the airbox with iscv on it is the original type which apparently wasnt very good. The second and 3rd types had the branch off on the air box accross the rocker cover, one was blocked, the second connected straight to the icvs mounted on the EFI unit the pics are here http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/24619-breather-locations-efi/ If you post a pic of what you have i can advise you where and what if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortrs2000.co.uk Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Cheers Mate, I read that there were 3 diferent systems then I saw your pic and it really threw me, lol! I'm converting my MFi '3i to EFi turbo using a '3i EFi loom. I read that I needed to lengthen the ISCV wire from the inner wing to the inlet, I guess that's for cars fitted with the 1st and 2nd gen systems. My loom comes from a late '3i EFi so I'm guessing its the same as yours. I will leave the one on the inner wing taped away. Anyway here's what I have: Which is the equivalent to a 3rd gen system.

Guest Champy13 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yep spot on to what i now have (within reason lol) Odd how someone considered mine to be able to work correctly with 2 iscvs, glad you got it sussed. What do you need to complete your project as i have some RS bits here on mine even though its merely a XR3i. I have a spare stainless exhaust system non standard 3'' Magnex system, is that bonnet standard? as i have an RS Bonnet on mine also some wheels that are diamond cut in grey colour coded and polished?Im looking to restore mine back to original lol IM message me for more details if your interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortrs2000.co.uk Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the offer mate but I think I have everything I need. It is a standard bonnet, I had a brand new RS bonnet and vents that I sold on when I changed my mind. Also sold on a bodykit. I have a thousand mile old mongoose that came off my old ERST and my ERST wheels are freshly refurbed so the whole car is mintly fresh. I'm trying to keep it as standard looking as possible, but a few things give it away: FMIC, disks all round, exhaust etc but I look at them as a subtle hint. This is my favourite hint though: LOL!
