I have also been checking this out for the ZX2 Zetec. Apparently for the VCT ZX2 (and probably the VCT 'Tour as well) there is no support for the PCM mods that are needed.
Damn...

Man that sucks, surely you can get a custom chip to take care of timing and fuel? Don't the VCT engines also have returnless fuel systems, or is that a completely separate issue?

Suffice it to say my mod list has become so long that it is just ridiculous

Tell me if the SC won't work why would the TC? To me it is all BS. Terry is supposedly god to the Contour. Now if a Focus TC won't fit the Contour why would HIS kit fit the Contour, ZX2, Focus, and the Escape? Think about it. How is that possible? Contour and the ZX2 are the only cars with the VCT other than the Focus SVT (on intake cam instead). But yet the Focus SVT CAN be fitted with a SC despite the fact it 1) has the VCT and 2)its high compression ratio(10.5.1 to the late model Contours 10.1). HMMMM now tell me why there is so many problems with trying to get this to work on a Contour with the VCT? Exactly. You won't ever know if you try. There is too many theories going around with not enough people willing to try and test these theories. I can't sit here and wait for an aftermarket to drop into our laps because it is not going to happen.

OK I am game!
Now to more pressing issues!
Who wants to give me $3000?
Hector, read my sig! That is what it is all about!
Make it work! Who ever would've thought 5 years ago that 4cyl or 6cyl cars would make gobs and gobs of power.
Remember, we are leveling the playing fields and hey, if I had the cash to do it, it would be done and believe me you would hear about it.

Removed both intake resonators and airbox. Installed APC air filter and APC crankcase ventilation filter. Removed exhaust resonator.
Installed XM Satellite Radio. Replaced bad alternator and 175a fusible link...much fun!
Intake plenum---GONE!!!!
My car growls louder than yours.
If I can't buy it, I'll build it...Trust Me!!!!

4 how is terry's possiable on all Zetecs cause he uses a different fuel management for one... and I'm sure terry could tell you more reasons.[/b]1. Sorry 2. You mean to tell me that bigger injectors and my chip custom burned does not work on my VCT? 3. I was talking about the SC and the Focus SVT in general, VCT speaking. Read again I said INTAKE cam. 4. I was talking about how 1 kit is going to fit all the different Zetecs, VCT or not. I know for a fact that the exhaust tubing would have to be different, from my experience with the downpipe from the header.

Thanks Mike. Some people act like I haven't done some research on this. I try different things on the Zetec. I don't like being confined.
