2.0 L 2020 fusion quick hp

[ankhzy]

just got my 2020 fusion 2L eco boost and want to know the most efficient and cost effective way to get the most horse power i’ve already got an exhaust and cold air intake but other than that i really have no clue where to go with the car to add some power

The 2.0L is known to have head gasket issues on stock power levels, any real power adding should be thought out very carefully as if you kill the engine with a tune you kill your warranty too.

so a small tune is all i’m really going to be able to do to it power wise?

Hi ankhzy. First...Your 2020 Fusion has a 5 year/60,000 mile Powertrain Warranty, and any tune or modification you make to your 2020 Fusion can lead to denied Powertrain Warranty claims. So keep that in mind if the warranty is important to you. 

 

Next...aftermarket cat-back exhaust systems and so called "CAI's" (cold air intakes) do nothing for power increases in this case. More exhaust and intake noise? Yes. But no additional power.

This is because our vehicles already have very good/efficient exhaust and intake systems.

The short story: The bottleneck in the exhaust tract are the catalytic converters, and an aftermarket cat-back exhaust does nothing to change that.

And in the case of aftermarket CAI's? Our vehicles already have a quality, sealed CAI from the factory, while most aftermarket CAI's use an open air filter box (or a poorly sealed box), which pulls in hot engine compartment air. So while they look pretty, they do not help with power increases.

 

So again, if you want more intake and exhaust noise and the placebo effect, those items are great. But they do not offer anymore power.

 

More power can be obtained with an aftermarket tune (a tuning programmer, not a cheap, worthless "chip"". Just keep in mind a tune may/will endanger any warranty claims under the Powertrain Warranty.

And yes, the Dealer/Lincoln most certainly do look for and have the ability to find traces of aftermarket tunes. 

 

Keep us updated and good luck.
