I am doing this next month. I have the 1.6 DOHC and I am dropping in the 2.5 KLZE V-6 into it. I will be taking a lot of pics and doing a how to write-up to go along with it. I know that it is possible and it is a lot of work and a little expensive unless you luck out and find a parts car or someone willing to sell the parts off a parts car cheap(Thanks Endo). Check out the 4cyl faqs and 6cyl faqs at the top of the page and Vaughn's page has a list of the parts you need. Hope this helps some.

Like he said, check out the 4cyl faq. It'll be a lot more cost/time effective to drop in a turbo 4cyl engine than to switch over to a v6.
