I can only assume you want a direct bolt in replacement as easily as possible?

It is possible to make a 6-port work in a car originally equipped with a 4-port but it would require many more parts and much more money.

If you are looking for the quickest, cheapest way to get your car back on the road you need to get a 4-port.

To answer your question directly, yes there is a big difference between the 4 and 6 port renesis. The big one being 2 more ports, which require a different intake manifold, different PCM programming and much much more.
