Jensen Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 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...?

GingerFlame Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
