@@carterpeel625 Mazda is owned by the Mazda Motor Corporation, based near Hiroshima, Japan. The Ford Motor Company bought stakes in the company in 1979, and owned over 33 percent of the company by 1995. However, Ford sold all its Mazda shares in 2015.
Big misconception, Mazda designed and manufactured the engine. Ford bought licensing to also manufacture these engines as well. This is a Mazda engine not a Ford.
Loved the video, i smiled like i was in the car for the pulls, also inspired me, i have a 2.5 but still have the 5 speeds, gonna swap everything eventually and big boost like this
By the way, the Mazda 3 was a rebranded ford focus. The Mazda 6 is a rebranded Ford fusion. I myself have the 2011 ford fusion 2.5l manual transmission. The reason I bought the Fusion is because I love the Speed6 however I wanted the 2.5l and like the looks of the fusion better. My fusion is kind of rare being a manual. Fun fact, the transmission in the fusion is actually the same transmission used in the non turbo Mazda 6 manual. I actually plan on putting a turbo on 2.5l, swapping in the Speed6 transmission with the AWD rear end. Since it is a ford fusion, the Mazda speed awd system wil bolt onto my Fusion.
Yes, right now Ive installed some MS6 suspension parts, brakes, engine mounts, and some small detail stuff. Right now im working on replacing worn parts (it is a 12 year old car after all) before making power.
@@project2ndgenspeed672 good to know, working on boosting a gen 2, 3 sport, and aiming for 450 whp, which I will get rods for. But some people have had 500 whp on stock internals
The motor completely stock would have made about 150 hp, its currently not put together but I’m hoping to double it, haven’t finished the build as it’s my daily
Im in the process of building a boosted mazda 6 i 06. Got t04e with custom downpipe, fmic custom pipes, 38mm tial mvs wastegate, 550cc injectors. Just needs tune. ( specifically mazdaedit on stock ecu)
In the process of building my focus ST with fueltech, old style cylinder head, sidewinder manifold, ID 1300cc injectors and surge tank. Built motor is next…shooting for 700😈🫡
Tengo un mazda 3 sport grand touring del 2011, es 2.5L Manual de 6 velocidades + R Tiene buena potencia pero me gustaría aumentarla, sabes cuantos psi soporta sin forjar nada?
I have a 2013 Ford Fusion with the 2.5l duratec engine and would love to turbo it so would this 2.5l be the same as the one that’s in my car cause there are different orientations of the 2.5l
Congrats, you have the most reliable, but slowest Fusion model. As stated, the 2.5 is exactly the same and in the same orientation as swapped into the Mazda. You can turbo a Ford Fusion no problem, but you will probably have to fabricate your piping and manifolds as there isn't much of anything aftermarket to choose from off the shelf. The 2.5 is a slug in Fusion due to it's weight. In a Mazda 3 it's decently quick.
I currently have a BL Mazda 3 2.5 manual, currently looking into turning my motor into a 2.5 mzr. I see a lot of Mazdaspeed 3 owners replacing the block with a 2.5, but I haven't really seen much of how to swap 2.3 mzr parts like turbo head, and intake manifold, into a stock NA 2.5. If anybody who has done this turbo conversion with a pre skyactiv BL(2010-2013) generation Mazda 3, please let me know what parts ill need
How do you get a car like this to pass emissions is my only worry. Thinking of swapping a 2.5 into my 81’ foxbody (has a ford straight 6 with only like 100hp)
@@i.t.s.t.h.e.c.a.l.z.o.n.e These motors can reliably hold 350-400hp /w associated torque if you have a good tune dialed in. They are built very tight from the factory, so beyond that the ring gaps can cause issues, which is why many 2.5 owners looking to make big power regap the rings.
I need help my brother in law has the same make and model and he is upgrading his to a 2.5 turbo from a 2.3 turbo and he wants to run it only at 300hp even though it can go to 400 originally from the 2.3. But he just wants to know with the 2.5 turbo how many pounds of pressure torque does he need to apply on 3-11 Newton miller meter ? I need help big time I’m going nuts searched the entire internet and nada!! Please help!!
I have a 2011 mazda 3 sport grand touring, it is 2.5L 6 speed manual + R It has good power but I would like to increase it, do you know how many psi it supports without forging anything?
I have a 09 Mazda 3 what other engines could I possibly swap out with it rn I have the 2.0 rn but wanna get a 2.3 since that’s all Ik what I can do lol (idk much about cars)
Everything from the 2.5 is used from head to bottom end for the swap. You have to install a 2.3 timing cover, crank pulley, use your Mazda harness and a few other odds and ends. 2.5 head flows more than a 2.3, no idea why you would get just the block, unless you are changing out the bottom end on a MS3. If you are doing the swap, no reason to take apart the engine. You can get the entire longblock for a few hundred dollars and just drop it in after prep.
Stock redline on a 2.5 is ~6500, but you can rev them to about 7000 on the stock valvetrain. I would not go higher than that on a stock head. Most people just leave the stock rpm limit that was on their 2.0/2.3. These are pretty torquey engines with a lot of power under the curve, so you don't really need to rev them out like a smaller displacement motor, at least on stock cams.
All Duratec motors were "designed" by Mazda. Ford acquired the rights to manufacture the engine for the Ford lineup, but it's the same engine that went in the Mazdas as well.
All Duratec engines are Mazda designed. Ford bought the rights to manufacture the engine for the Ford Duratec lineup. The longblock for these engines are exactly the same between Mazda and Ford. You can swap one into another and drops right in with no modifications. You just have to dress the longblock with either for Ford or Mazda harness, depending on what car you have.
