need help swapping a manual into my racecar
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:48 pm
my car is a 2007 ZX5 DIRT TRACK RACE CAR with a duratec and an automatic, I have a donor car which is a 2005 ZX3 with a duratec and a 5 speed manual. Yes I have searched, but there isn't a lot of info on duratec swaps like there is with Zetecs. I plan on keeping the engine from my 2007 sense the 2005 motor has a smashed intake throttle body and other part from an accident.
Anyways, im finding mixed answers...
do I have to swap the entire wiring harness from the computer to under the hood (and back to the fuel pump) or do I just change the short harness that is on the transmission?
I have heard the manual cars have a different throttle bodies and/or sensors?
What do I need to do to hook up the 2 safety sensors/switches on the clutch pedal? I heard I can bypass the starter switch (this is race car)
Sense I have to use the computer from the manual car, I heard I have to switch the ignition switch and key for the anti theft crap to work?
I plan on getting an SCT tuner with custom programing so im not sure if that helps solve any problems with the swap
my car (2007) had 3 oxygen sensors, I plan on using the 2005 manifold with no cat
lastly, how do I post a picture
