What year is the car that you did the swap in and what year and model was the 2.5 out of?

@@Rickkari7 is 2013, and the swap engine is the same year and model

Transmission choice is up to what you prefer. Skyactiv are direct injection so the head is different. Not sure about the short block, but believe they have different compression ratio. Basically this works for the regular port fuel injected 2.0 and 2.3 cars to use a 2.5 port injected engine in it's place. I would check out Mazda 3 forum and other internet sources to get a definitive on where the skyactiv would fit in all of this. As far as swapping a later skyactiv drivetrain into a older Mazda 3, that would be a upgrade. I'm sure someone has done it which would involve computer and harness swap too as well as other mods or parts from the donor car.

eBay. Just looked. In stock. www.ebay.com/itm/394978656675

@@Rickkari7 thank you!

used original 2.3 ecu in the '04 mazda 3 manual trans swap and the 2007 mazda 6 auto trans swap. no issues in either car

I have a mazda 6 2004 with blown 2.3 . What motor can I swap to? It seems if you can find a 2.3 they are pretty expensive. ​@@Rickkari7

You can do 2.3’s or 2.5’s out of Mazda that aren’t skyactiv or 2.5 Fords that are naturally aspirated up through like 2017ish. You’ll have to do required parts swaps or modifications based on what you use per my 6 videos or what you see on Mazda 3 forum. Hit the links in my description.

You don't have to modify the long block, but you will have to swap timing cover, oil pans etc... You can keep the 2.3 intake with a adapter plate or use the Ford intake, but you will have a check engine light because of the lack of Intake manifold runner control on it unless you rig it. See videos and read the Mazda 3 forum threads to see what you need to do and the options with the intake. Have fun with it.

Get the one for the car designated for a 2.3.

IDK. Never done it. I pulled the front panel out enough to dislodge the offending metal string thingy.

Any Fusion 2.5 up to like 2017 or 2018.

Both swaps I did ran good from the beginning.

@@Rickkari7My car jerks every time I switch gears. Also when it idles the rpm’s jump from 200-500

@@mainboss2253 do you have a check engine light and fault codes? If so, that should lead to something. If not, I would check basics like timing, vacuum leaks, connections etc…

As far as I know. I haven’t seen that car in a couple of years. I work at a new shop. There is no reason it shouldn’t hold up. The one I installed was metal. I would go that route again if I was doing this swap for sure. Worked great and ran great.

@@Rickkari7someone said that it limits the engines power slightly. Is that true ?

@@mainboss2253 not my experience. I’ve done the 2.5 fusion intake and the 2.3 OEM intake with the adapter plate. The latter actually seemed to run with a little more power than the other.

Believe I removed it.

Should line up on any 2.5. I did a personal swap on my mt 2004 mazda 3 with a 2015 fusion automatic engine with no issues. Don't know where that info came from. Got to make sure you install a new pilot bearing into crankshaft of new 2.5 auto engine you use.

@@Rickkari7thank you sir

Don’t know. Just compare them on a stand and swap what needs to be swapped. Guessing a lot of the things in these videos will apply, especially the intake difference. The long block is the same whether Mzr or Ford.

Haven’t dug into it that far.

The skyactiv is a high compression direct injection. The fusion is a port injection engine. These videos apply to non skyactiv engines.

@@Rickkari7 ok but can’t I swap the head and it be okay from my 2.5 skyactiv to a 2010 2.5 non skyactiv.? This mazda is fun and dying to get back on the road

@@markcox492 the skyactiv is higher compression I believe so the short block would be different because of the pistons. You may want to check on the internet. I’m going by my research of reading up on the skyactiv, not personal experience. I could be wrong.

@@Rickkari7 thanks for the tip I do know the Skyactiv 2.5 is high $$$ compare to a non skyactiv 2.5.

2.5 skyactiv. The skyactivs are high compression direct injection. These videos are about the non skyactiv 2.5's.

TN

Don’t remember the specs I read on a Mazda 3 forum post, but the 2.5 had better profiles which is why I swapped the cam sensor wheel from my 2.3 cam to the 2.5 cam instead of just swapping the whole cam on my 2004.

I hear you. Very true. I should have said that the engines have a flawed design that doesn't allow for good lubrication resulting in premature catastrophic failure. The 2.5 has an improved design. Some go a lot longer, but the fact that there are a ton of videos and forum post about the weakness of the 2.3 prove the design is "junk". My own experience with these vehicles leaves the "junk" comment in my brain. 190K. Very fortunate for sure. Always a diamond in the rough.

I can try. Do you have the same symptoms or just the code only?

@@Rickkari7 Heat meter not work RPM not work check engine Light on ABS Light on Gear at P position kia forte 2016 GDI. with best regards

@@muftahkamour5474 could be a wiring issue or component issue. First step I would do is get a scan tool that can scan all the modules in the car and see if any are not communicating and go from there.

@@muftahkamour5474did you ever figure out the fix this is my exact same problem

@@Rickkari7hey man I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!! I have the same issue and almost all the same codes and it’s driving me crazy! Been to dealer and multiple shops just to waste thousands and have same issue… I am wondering if there is any way you could help me out or where you are located?

That's the cylinder head temp sensor that Ford uses. You can just remove it.

@@Rickkari7 greatly appreciate your time and feedback

How’s it running ? I might have to do a engine swap soon so im curious on how it’s running

​@@mainboss2253 personally I think it runs great and there's definitely a power increase notice.

I don't. Possible. Be good if you could find one at a local salvage yard and look. They may even let you buy one and return it if it isn't compatible.

Appreciate your input

You can get a adapter plate on Ebay for $56.19. This is the route I would go. Then you just use all of the original stuff and, in my opinion, it runs better than using the Ford intake. www.ebay.com/itm/184223114460?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZekylVX8Sh-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=4q3SzkzKQF2&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@Rickkari7 awesome thanks.

You can use the 2.5, but you can only use the short block from it. Everything else from the 2.3, including the head, will have to be transferred over because the 2.3 is a direct injection turbo and the 2.5 isn't. Many guys have done this on Mazdaspeed 3's that have the same engine as the turbo CX-7. If you look though the Mazda 3 forum or search UA-cam videos you can find this swap being done and get specifics from them.

Lol. Blessed with a son and 4 daughters.

No. I'm in the state of Tennessee, where liberty and freedom live and so do many California transplants:)

@@Rickkari7 I hear you , might be heading to Montana after this enlistment

No. Different angle and stud setup on Ford engine verses this Mazda 6 anyway.
