It's not that it isn't possable but too expensive. It would be cheaper if you had a 1.8 to trade to a V6 then do the swap.
Oh yeah,
You'd also need to change the front springs and tacho, the list just goes on and on

I've found a good 2.0Lt V6 @ $11500 175000Km Manual (non mods) and I recon I might be able to get between $9000 - $10000 (guess) for my 1.8L 4Cyl considering the extra bits and pieces that are non standard on the car + I would have to spend extra money on replacing the non standard items into the V6.
However do you recon it's worth trading up to a V6 to do the KL-DE or KL-ZE modification? Also keeping in mind the V6 version had other creature comforts the 4Cyl lacked. Or do you think it's better to just pick another engine like a bpt etc?
Essentially I was aiming for around 150Kw good torque and was hoping to increase to 200Kw with a bolt on turbo etc to a decent engine when I get more money, hence have a good engine to start with then do the mods etc?
