I have an 04 mazda 6 i (4cl) 2.3l .?

Question

I want to take the v4 out and replace it with a v6 and install a super or turbo....but.....I know absolutely nothing about cars and don't know where to get these pars from or where to go to get it done.....If i replace the engine with a v6 will it void the warrenty and how wll i know if the engine is a quality one??? Also i wanted to put in a new exhaust system. Any help would be great

Answer 1

V4's are not commonly produced (if ever anymore), were for awhile in the 60's, but now we have I-4 (Inline 4 cylinder). Now to answer your question, take the loss on the trade in for the 6s, you will not be able to swap out the engine in the 4 cylinder for a reasonable cost. Think about not only the engine itself but you have the ECU, transmission, springs, shocks, and other forms of reinforcment/beefier items for the V6. Check out Hiboost turbo kits, for $4500 you can be pwning V6's in the turns (well you can do that stock), and blow them away in the straightline. If naturally aspirated is your game, intake/headers/midpipe have shown to produce gains that will make the 4 cylinder dyno exactly the same as a V6 manual Mazda 6. Exhaust gains on the Mazda 6 are negligible at best, you will only be purchasing the exhaust for sound and no performance, the catback while heavy, is very well designed with little restriction. Oh, and engine swaps will void your warranty on everything except for possibly paint defects, it effects everything.

Answer 2

ahh,If you want a v6 why not BUY that model,Mazda offers a v6 in that year and model or you can trade yours in on the NEW 2007 mazda 6 speed edition equipped with turbo charged, all wheel drive rocket ,already set up and under warranty 5 years 60,000 miles. If you do any modifications to your car it WILL void your warranty. good luck .
