The fuel sipping 2013, 2014, & 2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost engine can receive improved performance from K&N Air Intake System, number 63-2586

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.

The 2013, 2014, & 2015 Ford Fusion can be equipped with an optional 1.6L EcoBoost turbocharged engine which focuses on maximizing power as well as fuel efficiency

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.

Roto-molded air intake tubes, like the one used in the 2013-2015 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost intake system, allow K&N the most freedom of design and offer an OE fit and finish

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.

K&N Air Intake System, 63-2586, produced noticeable horsepower and torque gains across the RPM range an otherwise stock 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost

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.

K&N Performance Air Intake System 77-3085KP for 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.3L and GMC Sierra 1500 4.3L EcoTec3 V6

These days a full-size pickup truck is expected to do more than just carry a fully loaded bed, or tow a trailer. A modern full-size pickup truck is expected to also incorporate a refined interior with modern-day technology, a comfortable platform that is quiet on-road, rugged off-road, and of course, it must have style. Not only that, but EPA requirements and consumer expectations have forced full-size truck manufacturers to squeeze more power and better fuel economy out of their engines.

General Motors (GM) used the 4.3L 4300 Vortec V6 as its base engine for the full-size Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 for years. In 2013 this engine was rated at 195 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. However, for 2014 the same size 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 engine with new technologies such as direct injection, variable valve timing, and even active fuel management, allows the standard V6 to produce 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. This puts the standard 2014 Silverado / Sierra EcoTec3 V6’s performance on par with the 4.8L Vortec V8 engine of the 2013 Silverado and Sierra.

This of course doesn’t mean that 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 owners won’t benefit from a little more horsepower and torque. In fact, by simply installing K&N performance air intake 77-3085KP 2014 Silverado and Sierra V6 owners can increase acceleration and add more power for hauling or towing.

It will be a minimum of 10 years before he’ll be licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, however, 6-year-old Jacob Hodges has earned his Jr. Drag Racing license

Jacob Hodges was initiated into the world of drag racing at the recent SCEDA event at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California

It will be a minimum of 10 years before he’ll be licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, however, 6-year-old Jacob Hodges has earned his Jr. Drag Racing license. During the recent Southern California Drag Racing Association (SCEDA) race weekend at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California Jacob was initiated into the heart pounding world of drag racing. Jacob spent two days on the track running through the paces and earning his stripes. He was taught the rules and basics of drag racing before being towed down the track to practice steering and braking in a moving car.

The next morning Jacob was ready to get live seat time with the engine running in his 2006 Hansen built Jr. Dragster. The drills consisted of practicing staging, accelerating to the 60 foot mark and stopping, followed by a longer 330’ run down the track. After a break Jacob was ready to get back in the car and make his first attempt at a full 1/8 mile run. According to Jacob’s father Travis Hodges, who is K&N’s Race Team Manager, “He did perfect, staged good and ran down the track in 20.36 seconds at 25 mph.” Jacob had two more runs down the 1/8 mile drag strip clocking an elapsed time (E.T.) of 17.40 seconds at 32 mph for his final license earning pass.

Jacob’s dad, Travis, has equipped the Jr. Dragster with K&N clamp-on universal air filter R-1100 to keep the Briggs & Stratton 5 HP “lawnmower” engine running at its peak

Come Sunday Jacob was ready for some real racing. He took two practice runs in the morning with his first round race scheduled for early in the afternoon. Jacob was pitted against Carlie Ball in the Lil DudeT 7927 Jr. Dragster. Jacob had the better reaction time behind the wheel of the 7290 K&N Motorsports Jr. Dragster at just .041 seconds versus Carlie’s .185. However, at the stripe Jacob ran slower than his dial-in time handing the first round win over to Carlie.

In the end Travis Hodges said “It was a great weekend getting 6 full runs, his license and seat time. Jacob got a lot of compliments on his ability to listen well, stage the car like a pro, and drive the car down the track straight, especially for a 6-year-old.” Jacob’s 2006 Hansen built Jr. Dragster is powered by a 5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton spec engine. The car’s frame has been powder coated tangerine orange and wrapped in K&N graphics. This car wouldn’t be complete without the superior airflow and superior performance of a K&N high-flow air filter. Jacob’s dad, Travis, has equipped the Jr. Dragster with K&N clamp-on universal air filter R-1100 to keep the “lawnmower” engine running at its peak.

Jacob’s next race will be on March 21 and 22 at the NHRA Division 7 drag races at Irwindale Raceway. Jacob and his dad plan to enter 5 to 9 different races and it will be exciting to watch this young driver progress. Travis Hodges said “Thanks to K&N, Raven & Hawk LLC, and Doug Whitten, if it wasn’t for them none of this would be possible.”
