i think it would cost to much mate i think you would have to change ecu wirelooms injection set up plus other bits? loads of money . better of getting a v6 they are cheap enough . i run a 2ltr im happy with my power at the moment  but when i want the power ill be getting a v6  :y

err, if you swap the engine to a V6 you need to tell your insurance co and they'll charge you V6 rates else you will not have valid insurance!

Shop around for insurance - why it is costing you so much?

If you are paying that for insurance now, it will be a lot more for a V6! ::) ::)

Well all I can say is that in Ireland frankly we're a little looser with that type of thing. ;D ;D ;D
