It probably isn't worth it but....

Post by -=deathtrap-mx3=- »

would a complete swap on a 2.5v6 and a manual tranny even be practical on my 93 sohc?<P>i'm thinking i should just buy a 93v6 and swap the 2.5 in.<P>------------------<BR>93 MX-3

yeah...apart from the obvious replacing i thought that someone had said that you would have to replace axles and the whole drivetrain. i don't want to spend all of that money on my car, i'd rather just get a gs and drop a new engine.<P>------------------<BR>93 MX-3

But the HP would alot better, your pushing 88hp, the 2,5s push 164 for the KL-03 and 200 for the KL-ZE. I'd due it if i had a RS.<BR>It prolly would cost alot less then buying a GS and then puting one in, unless maby your sold your RS for a good price.<P>------------------<BR>Thanks,<BR>Teri<BR>'93 MX-3 SE soon to be a GSR<P>http://www.geocities.com/warmachinex0/MX-3GSSE.html
