A True Reman 1.5 EcoBoost Engine

This remanufactured 1.5L EcoBoost engine fits the 2015 Ford Fusion, the first full model year where the 1.5T exclusively replaced the earlier 1.6-liter unit. It is a gasoline, turbocharged, aluminum block, DOHC four cylinder with Ti VCT twin independent variable camshafts, high pressure direct injection, and a Borg Warner KP39 turbocharger. In factory trim it produces roughly 178 to 181 horsepower, delivering responsive, fuel efficient performance for your front wheel drive Fusion.

A remanufactured engine is not a used pull or a quick rebuild. Every unit is completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and restored using new or re machined components so it meets or exceeds OEM specifications. Cylinder walls, decks, line bores, crank journals, and heads are machined to factory tolerances, while worn wear items are replaced. The result is an engine built to run as strong as new, with known weak points directly addressed.

Fitment For Your 2015 Fusion

This engine is built for the 2015 Ford Fusion equipped with the 1.5L EcoBoost, found primarily on the SE trim. It pairs with the 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and is a front wheel drive application. If your Fusion is the all wheel drive 2.0T, that is a different engine entirely, so confirm your drivetrain before ordering.

Before you buy, verify your VIN and engine code so the application matches exactly. The 1.5T displaces 1,499 cc and uses an aluminum block and head. Checking your build sheet or the engine tag prevents ordering the wrong unit. Our team can help you confirm compatibility against your 2015 Fusion so the part drops in cleanly and bolts up to your existing transmission.

While the 2015 model year was the first full year exclusively running the 1.5T in this application, the engine family spans the 2014 to 2019 Fusion. We focus this listing on the 2015 Fusion specifically so fitment is precise. Give us your VIN and we will confirm the correct short block, head, and ancillary matching for your exact vehicle.

Why These Engines Fail

The 1.5L EcoBoost uses an open deck block design with limited webbing between the cylinders. That creates a weak point, especially around cylinder 3, where the cylinder wall can crack and allow coolant to intrude into the combustion chamber. The result is misfires, rough running, and eventual engine failure.

Classic symptoms include low coolant levels with no visible external leak, white exhaust smoke, and a rough idle. Diagnostic trouble codes commonly appear as P0300 and P0301 through P0304 misfire codes, plus P0316, P0217, P1285, and P1299. These are documented in Ford TSB 20 to 2100, which supersedes earlier bulletins on this engine.

This engine also depends on quality fuel because the direct injection system is prone to injector clogging and carbon deposits on the backsides of the intake valves. Some owners report excessive oil consumption and turbocharger wear showing up as power loss, unusual noises, and a check engine light. A reman unit resets all of this.

Ford Technical Service Bulletin 19 to 2139, later folded into TSB 20 to 2100, covers 2014 through 2019 Fusion vehicles with the 1.5L EcoBoost exhibiting low coolant, white smoke, and rough running tied to coolant intrusion. The factory service procedure involves replacing the short block and head gasket. That is precisely why so many Fusion owners end up shopping for a replacement engine rather than chasing repeated misfire repairs. Replacing the failing short block with a fully remanufactured engine addresses the root cause instead of patching symptoms.

Because this is a notorious design flaw rather than a one off fault, a misfire code on your 1.5T Fusion is rarely a routine issue. When coolant reaches the combustion chamber, it fouls spark plugs, washes down cylinders, and can cascade into deeper damage. Installing a remanufactured engine built to corrected tolerances gives you a clean start with the weak points machined and reinforced to proper spec. That is a far more durable fix than piecemeal gasket and plug work on a compromised block.

How We Remanufacture Each Engine

Every engine is torn down completely, cleaned, and inspected before anything is reused. Core hard parts are measured against factory tolerances, and cylinder walls, decks, line bores, crank journals, and heads are precision machined. Nothing goes back together unless it meets strict quality and dimensional standards consistent with ISO 9001 practices.

We install premium bearings, pistons, rings, gaskets, seals, and valve train components, using updated parts where the factory originals are known to fail. Factory spec machining removes wear points, new internals improve reliability, and careful balancing and calibration reduce stress on moving parts for a longer, quieter service life in your Fusion.

The goal is simple: restore the entire engine to a condition as good as or better than new. Remanufactured engines routinely achieve OEM torque and horsepower targets in testing, so your rebuilt 1.5T should deliver the same responsive, fuel efficient driving experience the second generation EcoBoost was engineered to provide.

The second generation 1.5L EcoBoost brought real engineering updates over the earlier 1.6-liter it replaced. Its cylinder head uses an integrated exhaust manifold that preserves exhaust energy to spin the turbo faster and reduce lag. Combined with Ti VCT twin independent variable camshafts and high pressure direct injection, the engine delivers brisk low end torque while returning efficient fuel economy. Remanufactured to these specifications, your engine keeps every one of those advantages intact for daily driving.

Choosing a remanufactured engine is also the more responsible choice. The process reuses the durable core casting and components, which reduces the need for new raw materials, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes waste compared with producing a new engine from scratch. You get an engine restored to OEM or better condition while keeping a proven block out of the scrap pile. For Houston and Texas Fusion owners, it is a smart, sustainable way to get back on the road.

Ordering, Core Return And Install

A refundable core charge is added to your order as a temporary deposit, not a permanent cost. It encourages you to send back your old engine, the core, so it can be remanufactured again. A good core is complete, matches the application you ordered, and has no catastrophic damage that ruins the main hard parts. Return a qualifying core and that deposit comes back to you in full.

When you plan a full engine job, budget for the part itself, the core deposit, freight, fresh fluids and gaskets, and installation labor. Of all those line items, the core deposit is the only one you should expect to recover once your old unit is returned. We recommend professional installation so the engine is set up correctly and all codes clear properly on your 2015 Fusion.

Your remanufactured 1.5T arrives built to install, though you should plan to transfer or renew ancillary items such as seals, gaskets, and sensors as your installer advises. We ship across Texas and nationwide, with local pickup available for Houston area customers. Confirm your VIN with our team before ordering so the engine, head, and fitment match your exact Fusion and bolt up to your existing 6-speed automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a remanufactured engine, and how is it different from rebuilt or used?

A remanufactured engine is completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, machined, and rebuilt to OEM specifications or better using new or re machined parts. A rebuilt engine only replaces faulty parts, and a used engine is simply pulled from another vehicle. Reman is the most thorough of the three, with every component measured to strict tolerances.

Why is the 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost engine failing?

The root cause is the open deck block design, which has insufficient webbing between the cylinders. This weak point, usually around cylinder 3, lets the cylinder wall crack and coolant intrude into the combustion chamber. The result is misfires, white exhaust smoke, low coolant, and eventual engine failure, as documented in Ford TSB 20 to 2100.

Will a remanufactured engine fix the coolant intrusion and white smoke problem?

Yes. The factory fix under TSB 19 to 2139 and 20 to 2100 is replacing the short block and head gasket, which is exactly what a full remanufacture addresses. Because our engines are machined to corrected tolerances with updated parts at known failure points, you replace the compromised block entirely rather than chasing repeat repairs.

What TSBs or recalls apply to the 2015 Fusion 1.5L EcoBoost engine?

TSB 20 to 2100, which supersedes earlier bulletins including 19 to 2375 and 19 to 2139, covers 2014 to 2019 Fusion vehicles with the 1.5L EcoBoost showing low coolant, white smoke, and rough running. Related trouble codes include P0300, P0301 through P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285, and P1299. The service procedure replaces the short block and head gasket.

Does this remanufactured engine come with a warranty?

Yes, our remanufactured engines are backed by a warranty. Coverage specifics, including duration and what is covered, are confirmed at the time of sale, so contact our team for the exact terms that apply to your 2015 Fusion order before you purchase.

How does the core charge and return process work?

A refundable core deposit is added to your order. Return your old engine as a complete, matching core without catastrophic damage, and the deposit is refunded in full. It is a temporary deposit, not a permanent cost, designed to recover the reusable core.

Will this engine fit my 2015 Fusion if it is all wheel drive?

The 1.5T is a front wheel drive application, typically on the SE trim, paired with the 6-speed SelectShift automatic. The all wheel drive Fusion uses the 2.0T, which is a different engine. Confirm your VIN and drivetrain with us before ordering so you receive the correct unit.

What should I verify before ordering this engine?

Check your VIN and engine code to confirm you have the 1.5L EcoBoost and not the 1.6 or 2.0. Verify your trim, transmission, and front wheel drive layout. Our team can match your build details to this engine so it drops in and bolts to your existing 6-speed automatic.

Does the engine ship ready to install?

It arrives built and ready to install, but you should plan to transfer or renew ancillary items such as seals, gaskets, and sensors as your installer recommends. We also recommend professional installation so everything is set up correctly and all misfire codes clear properly.

Do you ship to Houston and the rest of Texas?

Yes. We ship across Houston, throughout Texas, and nationwide, with local pickup available for Houston area customers. Confirm your VIN with us before ordering so the engine, head, and fitment match your exact 2015 Fusion and pair correctly with your transmission.
