- This is a 2.5L engine from a 2017 Ford Fusion. We added stage 1 cams for an improved power band while keeping the car street friendly. The swap was done by Walshmo Racing in La Habra, California. Labor for a similar swap and engine build (Cam install, porting, etc) is $2100 from Walshmo.
This engine failed on the first lap at the race track. Tearing it down now: forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=754783
well doesn't that suck! Is there more about it somewhere?

Larry loves his miata!! I love it! You should make a logo with him sitting in the nc
Good honest info. Seem like the most practical swap. I like it.
Get a doggy seatbelt for Larry.
I came to say the same thing. It's a dog harness that plugs into the seat belt. Keep that doggo safe!
"runs really well" deadpan achievement unlocked.
Larry is awesome and I think in his mind he's being gracious to let YOU drive his car! Humm? no hamburger patty today and disappointed in your bicycle collection being such a highly degreed young man I thought you'd possess something very efficient oh well 👌
Love the channel and NC MX-5 content !!!!! whaaaaat ...subscribed!! hoping you found another shop and another 2.5
Yes the new engine is going in next week. I’m paying the guy to come out to my house and swap it so I can film the whole process
Is it still possible to get the chrome fuel door for the PRHT? I looked all over and only found it for the soft top, apparently they are different. I'm picking up a 2008 Highland Green Mica tomorrow and I think that would look great on it.
yes you would just have to source it from a salvage yard. Also try Ebay or Ebay UK
Nice footage, my 07 NC is under 2.5 swap these days. I guessed the other 17 fusion 2.5 10K motor was picked by me from LKQ. Mine have the pretty same build as yours, fab9 stage1 cams with GWR 1.8 header.
Is your car still running safely? No blown engine?
You've had some amazing cars over the years... just out of curiosity what do you like so much about the miata vs. the much faster cars you've owned in the past?
The market looked bubbly so I sold off my cars. I enjoy this miata a lot more than the exotics.
Hey Zent, thanks for this video, I am in Australia and I am thinking about doing the 2.5 swap on my NC, but I am struggling a bit finding that duratec engine, I think there ara some Mazda 6 that have this one but do you know how can I distinguish them? is there any marks or something?
mazda 6 has a better forged crank than the dura
Hi nice informative video. Can you tell me what the name of the shop that did the swap and how much it cost total? I'm in Southern California looking for a trustworthy shop to do my swap. Thanks again.
This shop installed the balance shaft delete plug incorrectly and I had to put a new engine in myself.
Great name for a dog lol. Mine loves going for rides but the Interior is really taking a beating. Any plans to add a turbo?
I'm not sure yet. I want to see what type of lap times it puts down with the new engine. It is significantly faster now.
Very curious on the numbers after the dyno!
Probably 155whp 🤙🏻
Where did you get the cams from? I have a fusion swapped Mazda 3
Did you find them I’m gonna fusion swap my nc
6:06 I also have this brake noise on my MX5 NC, do you know exactly what it is and how to fix it?
Yeah I'm running raybestos st43 race pads. If I switch back to stock pads the brakes will be quiet.
I bet it’s a whole lot better daily driver with the added torque down low. I never knew this was a common swap to do in miatas. I’m curious to see how much better it will do on the track. How long did it take to swap it?
The guy in the video did it in about 10 hours taking his time. This included swapping the cams and retiming them. It would have likely taken me 40 hours.
Im considering doing this swap on a 04 ranger with a 2.3.
Did you do it?
Did you go to a miata specific shop or can any shop do it
This shop specializes in K-swapped Miatas and S2000s. They said the 2.5 swap was incredibly straightforward, so I'd imagine any shop could do it.
I just blew the engine in my NC Miata yesterday. I have an automatic, does it matter whether you have an automatic or manual in terms of this engine swap?
it does not. there are several posts out there with the 2.5 swap using the auto. after the swap needs a retune though from what i understand.
This is gonna be good 👍
Are the cam position reluctant wheels the same?
yes
We’re in business
Would it run with the stock 2.0 ecu or does it require a tune?
Yes stock 2.5 will run with stock 2.0 tune... but 'd still get it tuned right away. Cammed 2.5 probably wouldn't run well.
Exited for you.
More power + Petrol!
i need this 0.5l increase in my life not to mention ford.
Just a heads up, you may want to remove the part where you are driving with the phone in your hand. Police are watching car related videos and documenting drivers that break the law.
Should be fine. It is the ecutek datalogger, not my cell phone. I need to monitor the data when doing a road test. In this case.. I will ruin the engine if I keep driving it right now.
What a party pooper.
