Boost 2013-2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L Turbo EcoBoost Power with K&N Air Intake System
- Mar 20, 2015
The 2013, 2014, and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost turbo engine is a step up from the base naturally aspirated 2.5L Duratec 4-cylinder engine. The optional 1.6L EcoBoost L4 engine adds a little more performance with the real benefits being rated in miles per gallon. Ford EcoBoost technology has managed to squeeze good power and excellent fuel economy out of surprisingly small engines. 2013, 2014, and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost owners can enjoy 182 horsepower, and 184 lb-ft of torque while stopping to fill up less often.
Realizing 2013, 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost owners would enjoy a boost in power, K&N engineers decided to free up some horsepower and torque by reducing restriction and turbulent airflow, while also maximizing the amount of air available to the 1.6L EcoBoost engine's turbocharger. K&N replaced the restrictive factory intake ducting and air filter box with a free-flowing, molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE), air intake tube and an oversized K&N high-flow air filter. By eliminating these restrictive factory components, K&N air intake system 63-2586 is able to minimize restriction, straighten, and increase airflow to the engine. More air and less restriction means more usable power throughout the engine’s RPM range by allowing the turbocharger to work more efficiently.
K&N includes an over-sized chrome-top reusable air filter RC-1637 fitted to the inlet of the K&N rotationally-molded air intake tube to provide superior airflow and superior performance without sacrificing engine protection. The K&N clamp-on performance air filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. K&N air intake 63-2586 for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost incorporates an application specific heat shield which serves to deflect engine heat away from incoming air. This helps to keep inlet air temperature (IAT) readings within factory specifications as well as promoting more efficient combustion.
The K&N 63-2586 Performance Air Intake System for 2013, 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost models freed up horsepower and torque previously being used to overcome intake tract restriction. Considering how much power is being squeezed from the small Ford 1.6L EcoBoost L4, any additional horsepower and torque gains are impressive. On the dyno, when installed on a 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6L, the K&N 63-2586 Performance Air Intake System produced an estimated additional 5.41 horsepower at 5,751 rpm and an equally important 5.19 lb-ft of torque at a commonly used 4,128 rpm. It is said that torque is what gets you moving, and horsepower is what keeps you moving. Increases in torque will provide very noticeable improvements in acceleration. The 63-2586 performance air intake system is an easy to install performance upgrade that can be installed in about 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools. By following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions owners of 2013, 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost models can experience increased performance while still being able to brag about their car's fuel efficiency. The K&N 2013-2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost air intake system maintains all necessary factory connections and does not require any additional modifications to experience a boost in performance. K&N backs its air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty so owners can rest assured that their intake system will probably outlast their car. Performance Air Intake 63-2586 is guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque on the Ford Fusion EcoBoost powered models below:
