Mk6 Escort Van Td Engine Conversion

Recommended Posts

Just completed a 1.8td engine conversion on my 2002 Escort van & have fuel/turbo issues

Donor car was a 97 Escort td (70ps Non intercooled)

Had to swap nearly everything from the van set up onto the td engine due to the 5 year age gap between vehicles (so many differences), New TD engine running the old non turbo fuel pump due to the turbo pump having 5 wires and van wiring loom having only 3 wires, so made the decision whilst the engine was out to use the 3 pin fuel pump as I knew it would work with the van wiring loom. The van starts & drives ok but turbo not kicking in, the turbo is working but not boosting like it should

I believe the non turbo fuel pump currently running on the turbo engine is the problem to why it's not boosting so my question is would the actual original 5 pin turbo fuel pump work on the vans 3 pin wiring loom .?

turbo fuel pump doesn't have the turbo boost pipe btw

Should I try & turn up the fuel on the non turbo fuel pump currently on the turbo engine or take a chance & swap the 5 pin turbo fuel pump back onto the engine knowing the loom on the van only has 3 wires...?

Your post has only been on here for 2 days.

It's in a general section of the forum, not the escort section.

It's a rather specialist question

I'll move it to the correct area

Give it time and be patient

2 different pumps.

You should have swapped the full loom including the PATS system to get it to work right. It may work on the 3 pin loom, but I would highly doubt it
