Fit v6 to 4cyl BA
Hi , I am a motor mechanic that's new to the four cylinder small car scene , Iv previously always had large cars with v8 or v6 s. Recently I had a drive of a 4cyl BA Astina and couldn't believe how well it handled for a FWD car. It was for sale dirt cheap so I bought it . My only complaint is lack of power. Recently I acquired a written off 1996 Astina with a V6 . Is it worth swapping my 4cyl for v6 ? Dose the v6 have much more power than the 4 cyl ? any information would be very much appreciated .plus the four cyl has had only water in the cooling system for a lengthy period in the past so in that aspect its not that healthy. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to this internet thing

The V6 is quicker to drive and sounds better, but is a little more nose heavy and a pain to work on due to the cramped engine bay.
If you've got the time then the swap is theoretically worth it, but it's a lot of effort. |
Swap 1.8 L 4 cyl to 2.0lt V6
Thanks very much for the info , I think I will swap it . I have a 4 months off work it will give me something to do when I get back from holidays is there any technical information on the Astina available to download? Or even like say a "workshop manual" available to be download?
