Long time no talk guys,
For those I am friends with on facebook some of you know I blew the motor out on my 1999 SE contour. Sounds like something broke loose in the rear head. Which leaves me looking at doing yet another 3l swap. The wiring harness is also thrashed so I'll also be looking to replace that. I'd hate to junk the car as it's been in my family since I was in the 5th grade.
Now I still have #5292 that I never drive anymore while taking 20 credit hour semesters on my double major. It has sat for the last year. The body kit needs to be resprayed and then she will be ready to hit the road.
Now here is my plan. I plan to pull the 3l (portmatched) out of #5292 and put it into my SE contour. Then do a full swap into #5292 and get a tune.
My questions are:
How well will a ported 3l work in a SE without a tune? Will it still get through e-check?
Can a 98 wiring harness go into a 99?
Can I keep my svt injectors and just change the fuel rail on the ported motor?
Full swap into #5292 Questions/statements for clarity:
What fuel rail will I need?
I have to make a tb bracket.
The throttle cable should fit without having to make a custom cable.
I can still retain cruise control.
I just have to splice the knock sensor and the fuel injector harness into a contour harness?
I will need a SCT scan tool?
Does anyone know of any data logging programs that are compatible with the contour?
As always thanks for the help guys
