I want to swap over a 1993 Mx-3 (4 cly, 16v, 1.6L)To a v6 1.8L or 2.5 what parts do I need to change and what is the proceedure. If you can give me some advice, maybe a website, or any related documents I would be grateful. If this job is imposible then how to change the auto. transmission to manuel on the 4cly. Thanks :D

Check the I4 FAQ. Its not impossible or anything like that but it takes MANY parts. It is usually cheaper to get one with a V6 to start with.

Yeah I think that you would be better off just getting the GS cause swapping the 2.5 into the 4cyl it a VERY expensive way to go, and time consuming
