4 port to 6 port upgrade

Hey guys, I have a question.

Is it possible to do a 4 port to 6 port upgrade. I understand that it is difficult to upgrade the tranny from a 4 spd to 6 spd. Would the tune upgrade require swaping of ecu from 6 ports to 4 ports?

Here's the DIY
Unbolt and separate the license plates from each end of the car.
Install new car. Bolt the license plates back on.
Enjoy the upgrade.






Well, that's how I'd do it

Different engines, transmissions, drivetrain, ECU's wiring harnesses......blah, blah, blah

Like they said above...sell it and get a 6-port if you want one.....not worth it trying to swap all that stuff
