2.5l swap to a 4 cylinder mx3

Post by stringartist »

between a wrecked probe, and my friend (a probe owner that hordes probe parts) i have enough stuff to do the swap in my rs. what i need to know is, will the probe tranny fit? also what axles and suspension do i need? do i need to worry about rear suspension right after the swap? Any help is apreciated. please send links if you got em.<P>thanks.<P>white 92 rs

is this madison wisconsin >???, and are u nuts>?? do u know how hard it is to do a 2.5 into a rs, its never been done that i know of. you;d be far better off to get the b6t, i think u need to do sum reserch. you would have to change EVERYTHING electrical, whole new wiring harness. a 2.5 is for a GS, because they use the same harness, and tranny etc. i think u should do sum more checkin out on this before you start jumpin in up 2 ur eyeballs
