We're all really lazy too.

[umcamara]

I'm super lazy today...

[Maliceday]

Since everyone is feelin pretty lazy today, I guess I can be the one to instruct on how to do this...

So lets see, I've never done an engine swap before, let alone a 4 - 6 or anything of that nature, nor do I even own a 6... But hey, I'll make sure to give you plenty of great info to avoid that pesky search button...

Apparently too lazy to use punctuation or add that second "n" to wanna.

Well if it has an L4 motor as you typed it, it's not an MX3.
You're not even sure what you bought? Is it an MX3?
Is the engine even from Mazda? Or just some random one you got from craigslist?

There's so much wrong with the post or missing from the post that we can't help you.
Get your information together on what you have and what you'd like to accomplish and then since you put that much effort out, hit the search button.
Enjoy your newfound knowledge.

Or buy a Honda.

woooowwwwww. hahaha feedback. man i love it. you guys are a--holes.i just want to know 1 thing. the rs tranny will fit where the gs tranny use to. right?and i meant I4 motor. b6-me.. whatever.

f--- honda.
thanks.

[wytbishop]

yes...it fits. The frame is the same so the V6 mounts will bolt into a car that was built with an I4.

[Mx3TD]

so i can completely swap the engine/tranny over without any problems? should bolt up just fine?

sorry bout all the lack of words,

[wytbishop]

The trans mount member is different. the front subframe is different. The rad is different and the rad support is different. The brake master, and I think the booster are different. The brake proportioning valve is different. It goes on and on. It's not a matter of just lifting out the 4 cyl and tossing in a 6 cyl. Some things must be changed, other things are just sort of recommended.

there is no guide because anyone with the knowledge nad understanding to do it, would realize quickly that there are better ways to get ahead.

[Mx3TD]

i searched and cant find what needs to be changed... i have a donor car so what do i need to take out and throw in the 4 cyl... or should i just leave the 6 cyl in the body that its in now and jsut fix that one up.... im really in a pickle with this situation. hahah

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

entire engine bay should be moved. Search BP. This is the better engine swap for your rs.

[Mx3TD]

yeah...but. i already have this engine and its been rebuilt.... so i am just going to stick with this one. i always wanted a bp but... i dont trust junk yards and such. so complete engine bay swap.. coool (: thanks for the info

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

Hold up.. you're swapping the b6me for a K8? Not a DE or ZE... a K8? If that is true, it's a waste. Ya, the b6-me is kinda guttless... but this will probably take you weeks and you may end up with 0/2 working mx3's.

[Mx3TD]

why do you say that........
