Looking at upgrading the stock 2.0 intake manifold to the mazdaspeed manifold. Does anyone know if it will bolt up the the 2.0 duratec head?
right now it has the Focus Sport stage 2 turbo kit on it and want to upgrade the intake manifold to something more designed for boost but dont want to spend $800 for the cosworth.
Is there any other ones out there? I haven't seen one.
Thanks

highly doubt it, as the heads are the major difference between the Ford and Mazda motors, but i do not know for sure

When you do this build look for the Focus 2.3 head and manifold , from the testing I have done this is your best flow

will the 2.3 head bolt up with no problems to the 2.0?
I still need to take the head off and see if its damaged.

 

[warneej]

the head bolts up just fine

The mazdaspeed intake manifold will not fit on the NA version of the Duratec

how much more hp and tq will you see if you did this to a 2.0 d

I think you should just spot for the cossie.

Isn't the Mazda a VVT intake, too? You'd need to work with your ECU to tell it how to do that, as all we have are tumble flaps. I'd love to see it done, 'cause I know of a junked Mazda3 around my parts that I would love to peel apart, but I've never heard of it thus far.

the intake manifold isnt interested in the VVT, the VVT is in the head. with the valvetrain.

Will the 2.3L head on a 2.0 block change the compression ratio? OR just the CFM?

 

[honhon]

it would most likely change the air flow... but if you got a 2.3L head before, like myself... im going to have the head shaved alittle to raise the compression alittle for that extra kick.

i have a speed3 intake manifold and i am planning on installing it on my 2.3. there is a difference. i think i might have to open up the ports so they would match the focus ones.
