Re: Duratec / Mazda L-Series MZR I4 2.0 / 2.3 / 2.5 Swap
Probably best to look in the Mazda MZR world. I see them listed for the 2.0/2.3 - not sure if they could be used as-is on the 2.5; maybe if the ports were opened up? Chip would know.

Not dead yet! My mother in-law still still has an aol e-mail.
Fun fact.... At one point, 50% of the CDs produced worldwide had an AOL logo.

Under-hood space for engine swap - XR Vs. Scorpio
I've sometimes wondered which engine bay is more spacious, from an vertical standpoint. So today I tried to figure out. Using the top of the steering rack as the measurement bottom, I come up with: Scorpio 23.25" XR4Ti 23.75" These were tape-measure jobs, so not entirely exact, but I tried...

Re: Alternator bracket options for XR ưithout AC or power steering
Pinto bracket is the typical option. Conveniently enough, I happen to be selling one.

Re: No adapter Big Brakes
I think I've covered this in another thread but I don't see it mentioned here so I'll add it. For those of you running 5x112 Scorpio hubs (either on a Scorpio or converted XR), you can easily use 2012+ Ford Focus 11" rotors which have a 5x108 bolt pattern. All you need to do is bore the 5 lug h...

Re: Duratec / Mazda L-Series MZR I4 2.0 / 2.3 / 2.5 Swap
For me, I still want it boosted. Trying to determine how to do all that as well without a complete rebuild. Wondering if a 2.0 ecoboost, or your method mentioned here and then boosting it is better approach. The nice thing about the factory N/A 2.5 long-block is that it can much more readily take b...

Re: Duratec / Mazda L-Series MZR I4 2.0 / 2.3 / 2.5 Swap
Time for a little data-point.... If you're looking at doing a 2.5 swap, the most common donor is the 2013 - 2020 Ford Fusion. Millions of them were produced and the engines pretty much last forever, so there's not much demand. You may recall from economics class, large supply, little demand equals s...

Re: Need some tire thoughts
What sort of springs do you have in the car? Why do I ask? If stock mushy springs, you'll have a great chance of tire-wheel lip conflict if you start going with larger and wider tires. On my car, which is raised from stock height with stiffer springs, I have no such concerns. I have 16x215/50 in fro...
