It is complicated, expensive and not worth the effort IMHO. Buy a BPT instead.. Id much rather have a BPT than a ZE.. but I guess my ZE will do the trick too :P

The problem is that the 4 cyl mx3s arrent built as strong as the v6s... so you have more parts to buy and more work to do. Check on mx-3.com and go into the Swap Section. I think there is some info on this swap.

i didn't think the 4 cyl was capable of holding the KLZE. I thought the engine bay was configured differently and couldn't take the weight or somthing.

Same place you'll find a KLZE.. where are you from?

th ebpt would probably be a better choice to reploace the b6e just cause you aren't changing the engine size as much. It probably wont take as much modding of the motor mounts as the KLZE.

that's just my 2 cents
