How - To: V6 Swap Guide

[jitb37]

u just can use the harness motor/tranny from the pgt/mx6, everything else is still mx3.

harness motor/tranny from the pgt/mx6

Don't forget the vaf and ecu from the probe/mx6/626.

i use kia 1.8 axles on my 323 v6 swap,they fit great

[therieldeal]

what about the intermediate shaft? did you use the v6 or kia one?

i'm getting ready to do this swap with a friend of mine on his 323...

[323v6pr]

both of them are from the 1.8 kia,believe me they are strong

[therieldeal]

i'm not doubting that they are strong, i'll be using them with my GTR engine in a few months.

i was just under the impression that the v6 intermediate shaft was longer and the bracket that bolted to the block was different.

So you used the 1.8l dohc 94(7 kia sephia axles with stock 323 lower control arms? Also like mr riel asked. What half shaft did you use? I'm going to be doing this swap as soon as I can and any help is appresiated. Thanks.

[jitb37]

so if u used kia axles, than that means the kia tranny, and the mx3 gs tranny use the same axle??

[therieldeal]

they have the same differential spline count... 28. so this does make sense.

i think it would have to be kia axles with the V6 intermediate shaft. this would eliminate the need for the MX3 LCA's.

UPdate!!

i have been told that the Probe/mx6/626 Harness works with the pro/gt harness..

Does the engine harness plug into the interior harness under the ecu without mods? And will the gagues work properly? I know the tach will be wrong. Or is it easier to get a interior harness form a v6 mx3 and use the v6 cluster?

[jitb37]

im not sure, this was just info that a mx3 guy told me. That the pgt/mx6 harness is the same as the gs harness, its just colored different.. So if it truly is than it should plugright up like the gs one does..

im stil confused on the LCa issue, because i had no issue with the LCa's on my pro?

[therieldeal]

no idea, others have had issues with the axles binding...

yea i read , but im still lost on why it happened, oh well.. im not gonna use mx3 lca's.. on the Gt

[323v6pr]

the only thing i know is that both are from a kia 1.8,komplete axles.u kan use the mx3 harness and hook up a mx3v6 dash on the 323,with a kouple of mod. it will work,i have a sunpro tach o mine thou hehehe
