My wife misses her ZX2 because this ATX Contour is so slow. She asked me if I could swap it to MTX. I've done this on several ZX2's, even wrote a how-to found at: http://teamzx2.com/showthread.php/119-ATX-to-MTX-Swap
I think I could write a how-to for CEG as well. I don't want to have to make more than one trip to the pull-a-part, so I need a parts list. I know I'll need the flywheel and clutch, are the axles different? What about the crank position sensor housing? I know in the ZX2 the sensors are the same but are spaced different. I'm guessing the Contour uses a cable clutch, what about the shifter? I know I'll need the PCM as well, what about wiring changes? For instance, I have to spice the reverse switch wires and starter safety wires for the ZX2 swaps. Are the block-to-tranny spacers the same? I'm also thinking of adding a small turbo to the Contour. As usual, tuning is going to be the hard part. Would I be okay putting a larger fuel pump in with an adjustable regulator and a MSD to retard the timing? I can't imagine there being any flasher tunes (via SCT) available for this car.
