I dont know why they just dont drop the 2.3 in there and pump the hp up to a safe 190..........nevermind thats something Honda, Chrysler, GM, Hyundai, Nissan and Toyota would do.

As long as there's a turbo attached to the block. Unless, they could do all-new gearsets for all the revving you'll be doing to make more than 190BHP on the current engine design.
There's not a lot of room left on the 2.3L (even with VVT or something similar), I believe Mazda has "only" 160ish our of their iteration and the Fusion has 160 in the 2.3L.
Plus, turbo = big secks appeal. High-revving daily drivers = "Nooooo! Monica!"* :lol:
* - your obscure TFATF reference for the day.

Better air flow (in and out), ECU re-program and a limiter to 8k, Im sure you can hit 190.

its not hard to get 190hp out of a 2.3....and you could do it on 87octane.
