[color=#000000:post_uid0]well, 94-98 Astina and 94-98 Protegé have the same suspension, but the V6 astina has:
different springs (but the same shocks)
different wheel hubs (5 stud not 4)

basic engine for MX5 and astina/protege 1.8 are the same

2.5 KL series V6 engine from the MX6 and the 2.0 KL V6 from the Astina are basically interchangable, apart from a few clearance issues with manifolds

MX6 and 626 are the same underneath the skin i would imagine...

this is all just off the top of my head, there's plenty more stuff...[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Of course the intake manifold on a MX5 is different and
wont work in a FWD car. But the rest of the motor should
be fine. Nothing else I think would be a straight fit apart
from what Dan mentioned all others would require custom
brackets, mounts etc. Do you want to throw us a bone and
give some more specifics of what you want to swap.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The intake manifold from the KLZE( Jap spec 2.5L 150kw)
The intake manifold from the KLO3(Aus spec 2.5L 121kw)
The intake manifold from the K8 (Aus spec 2.0L 108kw)
The intake manifold from the 30X (aus spec 1.8L 99kw)

All these are intercangeable but you might get hood clearance issues fitting the KLZE IM into a 30X or a 323, there is another IM that will fit though and is from the MS8.

Supposedly the KLZE and MS8 IM add about 10whp, ill find out soon as i put mine on, hopefully before the end of feb, this is a must have mod for all you V6 guys out there!!![/color:post_uid0]
