Hi, I own a 2017 Fusion Titanium awd with the 2.0 ecoboost. I’ve done some basic upgrades to the car such as upgrading the brakes and putting in a K&N air filter. I really want to through in a racechip Rs tune (https://www.racechip.us/shop/ford/fusion-us-from-2012/2-0-ecoboost-1999ccm-240hp-176kw-339lb-ft.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6cTDwKXL6wIVl4vICh2cLgWnEAQYASABEgIsVPD_BwE) that would add 54hp and 57lbft of torque. I was curious if I would have to replace the stock down pipe or anything else , for my car to handle this extra power?

Whats the cheapest performance mod that would be ideal for a faster 0-60 time. video000000-1.mp4

Looking for some direction at changing the spark plugs on my 2012 3.0 SEL. I've watched many video's but none show my engine and am getting a little frustrated. Can anybody point me in the direction to a video that has this style of intake. I cant seem to get the weird rubber hose off the back of the air inake plenum (between the sensor and fuel line). Do I need to disconnect the fuel line at the front of the engine? Does the throttle body need to be removed to get at a bracket or something underneath it? I can't see anything holding it. A link to a proper video would be awesome.

Have 2016 titanium awd, 2.0 EcoBoost. Anyway to increase horsepower with 2 stipulations, on a budget and without voiding warranty. Lol. I know, want my cake and eat it to. Thanks

I installed STEEDA CAI and tune on my 2012 Fusion SEL V6 3.0L FWD several months ago. The second time I started the car after loading the tune, the CEL went on. The DTC I got with the SCT X3 3000 tuner is P06B8. I tried returning to stock and reloading the tune, and also contacted SCT to try a recovery file. The code did not go away, and Gus told me that the code other people got after load the tune are different. I used the tuner to clear the code and it did not come back. Gus said it would not hurt the car as long as the code did not come back. I took the car to the dealer for service about a month ago, and the strategy was updated. I waited about 20 days before SCT updated their software to support my car's new strategy. I reinstalled the CAI and 91OCT no insert tune yesterday, and today the CEL went on again. I checked, and the code is the same as before. SCT mentioned that it may be a template problem. My question is whether it hurts the car. I noticed that the shifting was not so smooth.

What I have: 13' FF FWD 2.0t Ecoboost mostly stock. K&N stock replacement filter and a turbo thrush w/ 3" inlet pipe 1 in 2 out (someone had a y pipe with muffler delete and burnt up the water pump thinking they were on Fast n Furious... so I fixed it so I could hear and got some back pressure) It has the hard shift between 2-3 that so many have. What its used for: My wife and I Uber and this is a select vehicle(uber black minus the black on black and additional fee) as well as most of the year I put a 32' ladder and 22 collapsible. We drive about 30k miles a year so MPG and 87 octane is big for us but I also want it to have an enjoyable mode. I am willing to run 91 on the fun days or road trips. What I want to do: Total price has to be under $700 I looked into spaces and as a mechanic(15+ years) I just want the best for my needs, results for $. Sound Symposer delete while running that open line to exterior air (only if it adds more airflow). Steeda Recommends "Denso ITV22" and I need new plugs any advice (copper, iridium...) ive always used motorcraft on ford but this is a different kind of ford. I have 60k miles so im gonna clean up throttle body too. Has new trans fluid and axle seals recently replace. I would like to install a better blow off valve (i like the sound but its not a big deal) So i would like to know your opinion. I just want something that may be a little more up to mild tuning standards recirculated or not lets her ideas Add the BIG question whats some feedback from similar setups COBB, MOUNTUNE, or Livernois and why. I was steered away from SCT with the X4 mainly due to the ability to have a few tunes that can be set via steering controls instead of pulling over and uploading a new program (keep this in mind, steering wheel integration is preferred). I have done a lot of research into this but I am new to tuning and ford fusions. My past has been with diagnoses and repair of mainly NA engines. Having said that I am a quick learn and great with computers. Ultimately I would love to just run my computer directly to the car but i understand that the cheapest/safest way is going to be using a v3 port along with people that have dynos. I don't expect the right answer, only honest opinions and I hope to know that they are based on person review. Let me know what you think, and Thanks in advance. FYI I have the premium 18" 20 spoke polished aluminum rims that I don't want So let me know if your looking for some, may even trade. I like 16's maybe 17 they are $$cheaper for rubber
