So I can use the stock 2.5 ecu with a sct x4

Good luck!

Tbh it's not worth it unless you want to upgrade to arp head and main studs mine as well add manley rods why just do it for basically what you will end up with in a stock 2013-2016 fusion 2.0

@@neoknight14215 no trust me I’ve come to the realization that this car is better suited as a daily rather then a discount NASCAR😂

@Arthur-oo6de honestly I love what's being done here this is an amazing build. With this type of car mind I would urge the builder to purchase a Ford Fusion 2014 Titanium 2.0 add arp head and main studs, & manley rods to the engine and build from there. I will be adding a catless downpipe and a tune with 245 35 18 tires and aftermarket rins to my fusion for next season. Once I replace all of the camber bolts I might add the adjustable camber arms & upgrade the shocks I'm either gonna end up with lowering springs or bc racing adjustable coilovers. My car has truly gained a ton of respect in my local car community. I never expected it to do this.

​@Arthur-oo6de I believe that if you really want a unique build and to shock people with a true Sleeper build the fusion is the perfect platform for that and very frugal.

I will also get the 6 speed manual awd trans and rear diff, drive shaft, and other components from an Mazda speed6...Mazda built what the fusion could've been.

Where did you find the MT? I CAN'T FIND ONE ANYWHERE

@@MikediFazioI just happened to stubble across it, I live in Houston. I rarely see them up for sale, but this car had low mileage and was and SEL with a sunroof. I just bought some new Goodspeed SSmono coilovers and will be installing them soon.

Didnt even know they sold the ford fusion in manual lmao

@@christiandemarcus2257 they are rare, and mostly used on the 2.5l in the fusion line-up. Believe it or not, I worked at Ford and used to see some 2013-2015 fusions with a 6 speed manual, just ultra rare. The 2010-2012 Mazda 6 was basically a ford fusion with ford engines. The 6 speed manual in the fusion is the same transmission used in the Mazda 6, except its paired with a 3.7v6. The trans is rated for over 350 hp and toque because of the v6. They also have a 6 speed manual but with awd system attached, I found one wrecked in a junk yard over here, I'm looking at buying it and swapping the drivetrain. The Duratec 2.5 in my car is almost exactly like the Duratec 2.3 in the Mazda SPEED6, except it is turboed. I was going to swap turbo parts and see what kind of power my car makes makes.

No they won’t work. You’ll need 2.5 specific cams from fab9 or esslinger.

@@jrboostin i figured as much. i knew it wouldnt be that easy

​@amentiamurna9335 of course not and your just gonna learn a build and when you are done you will just end up being better off buying a gen2 2.0 bc that probably what the power will be like

Could u give me the links of ignition coils and spark plugs, ive been looking for some

Tune always

Not sure, with how different the ecoboost 2.3 is from the duratec 2.5 It might be tricky? Im sure you could make something work though.

Follow me on insta @.jr_boostin would love to see it

Im building a 2010 Ford Fusion 2.5 manual transmission car, im naming the car "Project Confusion". Im using a lot of MazdaSpeed 6 Corksport parts, im even looking at swapping the MazdaSpeed 6 awd system. By the way, I've followed you car since 2012, It is an amazing car. I was going to buy a Fusion Sport, but ended up finding a 2010 Ford Fusion 2.5 with the manual transmission with 78,000 miles back in 2019.

I’d love to go another year and build another, however this car is sold. Next time I’ll do it right and fully build the engine and trans.

No it would be pretty easy to go from the 2.3 to 2.5 although your money and time is better spent building the 2.3

Yes any speed trans

This intake can handle decent boost. Besides the speed6/3 one is a different design all together with a bottom mount throttle body. I wouldn’t worry until you’re in the 25-30 range for boost.

Yes. That’s the car I did this to. All bolt on beside the intercooler mounts.

No

ebay special.

Stock internals, would be worthwhile power gains to do cams for sure and if you have money and time definitely do pistons at least for peace of mind. But if you’re fine with a potential for more headaches the stock engine can handle 10psi fine

Sold the car :/

The size, too big and it’ll never spool, too small and you will have too much torque.

Now that's a new one

Always wanted to do this.

Probably 270-300

@@jrboostin Thanks for that. Any idea on the torque? I will be using an NA Miata 5 speed. I believe, that can take safely around 240 tq.

@@19mati67 not sure but na it’s 170, so I’d just start at 5psi

Similar yes

There's another guy on KZfaq who swapped out to the Lincoln turbos. He did a dyno too and saw an improvement.

@@RogeriusRex You got a link for this guy? I want to see it!

Yes they can handle a couple pounds, nothing remarkable.

About 10 but I keep up with wrxs and evos. You have a video about your car up?

Jr Boostin No I don't have vedio. But finally I make everything work without any check engine light or problem light. And it is good for every day drive now.

Jr Boostin My tuner just said keeping only 8 psi is safe and durable, unless doing further reinforcement inner engine block.

Ideally because it is a transversely mounted engine you should drop the engine and trans out the bottom. However in a garage that is difficult so I recommend pulling the crash structure and pulling up and out of the front.

Rotiform blq

sure could

What questions do you have?

I believe they made no significant changes to the 2.5 ever. So yes but dont hold me liable.

V6

Jr_boostin on Instagram

thats a whole different engine the reason you can boost this engine is because its the same engine as a speed3 parts are wasy to find and it can handle boost

If you want to build the engine you can, but the sleeves should handle sub 800hp. The rods and pistons go first.

SCT tuner

Yes that engine is just weaker

On a sport? Really depends on what and how you do it. That’s gonna be a pain in the ass but if you think your trans can handle it maybe you could get 350 reliably?

@@jrboostin There is an article on someone taking the ford 3.5 Eco boost turbos and installing it on the 3.5 na motor. It barely fits. Look up "2010 Aaron Vaccar Signature Series Fusion / Ford Fusion Concept", you find a lot of articles and pictures of the car.

@@cesarpalmos8235 that was a seam car I believe, that kit from the car has been sold around and hasn’t been installed since. Would love to do a kit myself but not for a while.

@@jrboostin yes it was a sema car, the owner has replied in your comment section. I been following you build for a minute too. Im building my collection with the Mazda Speed 6 corksport parts.

Yes MRT

Deatshworks website or Amazon.

No hablo espanol

@@jrboostin Brasil ✌️✌️

Same engine but very different engine bay. Also im pretty sure this guys engine has already blown, so if you want a reliable setup, just 2.0 ecoboost swap it.

No

Yea probably about that. Your newer 6f35 can handle some more power and same with a fresh engine. 15lbs I’m guessing would put you at 270-300 hp

@@jrboostin Man thanks for the reply. Mine is a 2011 and I have owned it for ten-years which is the only reason I would consider putting money into it. I couldn't have bought a more reliable car than this Fusion.

That is awesome to hear you say how reliable your Fusion has been. I bought a 2012 Fusion 3 months ago and it has been great. I got it with only 90,000 klm "canadian" on it. I have always had Toyotas but I really loved the way this Fusion looked and it was local. I am glad it basically has a Ford built Mazda engine in it. ☺👍

@@evan937 The style of the 2010-2012 Fusion caught my attention quickly. After researching and talking to a few technicians at a Lincoln and Ford dealerships, I was sold. All told me they regularly serviced 200,000+ mile 2.5 equipped Fusions. This was back in 2012 too! I would be willing to bet if one of these models was serviced properly and mostly driven on the highway, they could easily reach 500,000 miles.

@@PatriotPlus179 I currently have 222625 on the dash in my 2.5, I don’t think it’s ever been rebuilt or anything either. If it lasts till 300k I think I’m gonna go for this turbo setup we’re watching here lol

EBay, ikon

Dats why da video is out here

For the time I had it, internals were great on 10psi. The issue was oil AN lines I made popping off. If I still had it I would’ve done a mazdaspeed transmission and then after that built the engine

@@jrboostin glad to know it handles it's boost, I was going to just keep it at 5 to 8psi after I got it set up

@@josephc4768 it’s definitely worth it if you can fork out the cash. Lots of fun

Nah CO

Will be slightly different but not much. Should still work.

Good I’m ordering everything today with my stage 3 cams then in about 2 months buying a bore stroking kit to bore it to a 90.5mm which will cost me 6k

Sick ass foo!

@@tjtowery1016 im subbing for updates

Not too difficult, pull the trans too though with it always

Huh

Jr_boostin

All stock to the intake manifold. Wastegate lines come from the turbo, teed by the boost controller then go to the wastegate then the other side is open I think

It should, probably 4k

Is it a 2.5?

2.0 Duretec.

@@Topper-gf8xl then no. You might be able to swap the head out for a 2.5 head but I’m not so familiar with the 2.0 na fitment. There are multiple fb groups dedicated to duratecs. I would ask there

Ok thanks.

If it’s a v6 you could but why

Mines the 2.5 but I wanna go with twinturbo set up

@@Pogo_StickFN have fun with that. You’ll have to go built motor

170 before 300 after

No

3k for you to do it. You’d wanan change your clutch too so probably 4k

Probably not since that is 350 and awd. But with some more money into the motor and trans I’m sure it could be

Doubt it. Stock cats and a fair tune might tho.

2011. It will work on any 2.5 no matter the year

video

@@parkeravila7709 sold the car at the start of last year and the new owner blew the motor 😢. Hopefully I can buy it back eventually

Swap for a 2.5 so you don’t have a weak 2.3 in the way

Alrighty, did the 2.5 come in anything else

@@jacobheranney2595 escape and fusion I think that’s it

Isn't that supposed to be a little bit bigger?

@@williamguilfoyle3068 I really don't know lol

@@mariahluze262 I wish I had a better answer good luck

No, because those are direct injection

you could try but its DI and the throttle body is lower down. Plus that uses a MAP and a couple other specific sensors.

Good fit on a budget if I had more money for sure would’ve went top mount and a Garrett. Thanks for commenting, your build inspired this thing.

The spring on the iwg is around 15-17 on a stock k04 I believe

The 2.0t?

Yup

Yes you’ll have to custom make an everything for an Eaton m90 or similar

Internal

Yes, not too long the first time

What about it. They are already turboed

Probably about 4k

Any na 2.5 it will be similar

True

Yes

a what

@@jrboostin sorry mercury milan premier basically a first gen ford fusion uses the mazda speed motors just like the focus does

@@brokedrift7484 yes I believe you could swap that

@@jrboostin problem is no big following I can find on these things so ecu and wiring issues might come up and mabey mounting trans to frame might be a problem so won't know

@@brokedrift7484 no just depends what trans. If you have a CD chassis it’s documented just not specifically for your car. Same as a fusion or Mazda 6

Sorry, your best bets is going to try to retrofit 3.0 ecoboost f150 parts I think.

Unleashed tuning

About unleashed tuning, was this done with dyno pull? Did they send you a base tune and calibrate from live data you sent back?

Max I’ve hit was 170 and it kept pulling

@@jrboostin man it's cool as hell don't get me wrong, but I'd have to see a video to believe it'll do 170. I have a 2017 w a 2.0 ecoboost that's heavily modded, and mine struggles to pull past 160. Im not tryna disrespect or call you a liar in any way, so don't take it the wrong way.
