I currently have a BL Mazda 3 2.5 manual, currently looking into turning my motor into a 2.5 mzr. I see a lot of Mazdaspeed 3 owners replacing the block with a 2.5, but I haven't really seen much of how to swap 2.3 mzr parts like turbo head, and intake manifold, into a stock NA 2.5.

I have a 2013 Ford Fusion with the 2.5l duratec engine and would love to turbo it so would this 2.5l be the same as the one that’s in my car cause there are different orientations of the 2.5l
Congrats, you have the most reliable, but slowest Fusion model. As stated, the 2.5 is exactly the same and in the same orientation as swapped into the Mazda. You can turbo a Ford Fusion no problem, but you will probably have to fabricate your piping and manifolds as there isn't much of anything aftermarket to choose from off the shelf. The 2.5 is a slug in Fusion due to it's weight. In a Mazda 3 it's decently quick.
How do you get a car like this to pass emissions is my only worry. Thinking of swapping a 2.5 into my 81’ foxbody (has a ford straight 6 with only like 100hp)
I need help my brother in law has the same make and model and he is upgrading his to a 2.5 turbo from a 2.3 turbo and he wants to run it only at 300hp even though it can go to 400 originally from the 2.3. But he just wants to know with the 2.5 turbo how many pounds of pressure torque does he need to apply on 3-11 Newton miller meter ?

@@i.t.s.t.h.e.c.a.l.z.o.n.e These motors can reliably hold 350-400hp /w associated torque if you have a good tune dialed in. They are built very tight from the factory, so beyond that the ring gaps can cause issues, which is why many 2.5 owners looking to make big power regap the rings.
Everything from the 2.5 is used from head to bottom end for the swap. You have to install a 2.3 timing cover, crank pulley, use your Mazda harness and a few other odds and ends. 2.5 head flows more than a 2.3, no idea why you would get just the block, unless you are changing out the bottom end on a MS3. If you are doing the swap, no reason to take apart the engine. You can get the entire longblock for a few hundred dollars and just drop it in after prep.
Stock redline on a 2.5 is ~6500, but you can rev them to about 7000 on the stock valvetrain. I would not go higher than that on a stock head. Most people just leave the stock rpm limit that was on their 2.0/2.3. These are pretty torquey engines with a lot of power under the curve, so you don't really need to rev them out like a smaller displacement motor, at least on stock cams.

Yes and I believe that Ford supplied Mazda with a huge amount of basic parts for their Mazda's such as alternators, contol moduels ect.

Don’t think so. Has to be 2.3 head from what I’ve read
2.0 and the 2.3 transmissions are exactly the same. You can even use your stock 2.0 flywheel and clutch.
