No they are not the same motor the zx2's where made with the 2.0 dual over head cams and the four door I haved only seen them with the 2.0 single over head cams just that on the motor comparmet the zx2's motor has alot more spaced then the other but im more concern because of the wireing one is fully automated on the inside and the other is not.
