I have read about the 2011 mazda 2 turbo that was built for the sema show in 2011 but what if instead of a mzr 2.3 we put a 2.5 skyactiv in without too many modifications. If the drivetrain bolts up with maybe some minor custom motor mounts, all we need now is a custom haltech ecu. This neeeds to happen!
2.5l skyactiv in a m2?

It doesn't bolt up. You'd need the engine with trans. Custom mounts. Custom axle shafts. Find a way to control the electric PS. Hope the speed sensors all jive with the ABS.
I think the way to do it would be to run a normal 2.0 or 2.5 with trans and attempt to use the 1.5l ECM, you'd need to build or modify a crank trigger wheel possibly, maybe have a camshaft made with a custom trigger built in to mimic the 1.5 cam trigger. This would ensure you don't have any compatibility problems. Clearly it would need tuned since its not a 2.0 or 2.5 but that seems like the easy button. Don't forget about cooling too, a bigger radiator would probably be a smart idea.
I'd love to attempt this with someone else's money

I think you'd have an easier time swapping a Fiesta ST engine into the car, and I don't even know how easy that would be.

You would think a full Fiesta ST swap would be pretty straightforward, what with it still sharing the 2's platform. I'd be interested in seeing someone attempt it with a wrecked ST.

What ECMs are capable of running direct injection plus send/recieve all of the CANBUS data needed from the ABS/DSC, cluster, SRS, BCM, and keyless entry module to keep everything functional?
Just get the ecu from from the 2.5 and adapt it to the chassis. Thats what we've done with the older Mazda engine swaps.
