I am excited that you will be offering this swap option . I assume when you state full swap you mean, engine, trans, ECU, harness etc.... Do you anticipate being able to keep luxuries such as AC and power steering?

 

We will be offering the swap, it will be a full turn key with some possible stuff needing fabbed like the intercooler and downpipe

 

 

Gotta get this done and have it running with no issues, however we are doing much more to the engine than we have told you guys, cant wait to update you soon

 

im excited i have 190k miles on my gk,, she just turned three a few weeks ago and hope to do an engine swap soon. i was thinking a k20c from a honda accord but the L15b7 has potential. about how much more you think a k20c swap would be compared to a L15b7? accords are selling like hotcakes ahah. im estimating its like 5-8k for L15b7 swap and like 10-15k for a k20c swap

 

Wow, that's a lot of miles already. Totally unrelated to this topic but has your fuel economy dropped at all since you first got the car?

 

actually none at all! i still manage to get 45mpg on hwy if im straight cruising at 60-65 the whole way. even if im mobbin 80-90 i still manage to get 33-36 mpg on the hwy. everything is bonestock i havent had to do any major work on the car. only oil changes, transmission flushes, coolant flushes, tires, brake pads, rotors. i havent even changed the drums in the back.. LMAO. im due for a new timing belt. i work as a courier so miles go up about a thousand a week. (yes a thousand, sometimes more ) ive been through so much with this car i cant see myself letting it go! i still owe 9gs on it.. hahah almost done paying it off but with that many miles its only work 5gs max. so at this point its best to keep it tilll she dies by the feel of the car i say she has about another 200k before anything major has to be done

 

Got our fresh Type R turbo for the L15b7 from Honda, going to make even better numbers

Car will be on display at the So Cal Eibach meet in Cali May 6th

 

I guess I will be there come May 6th. I might as well ask: are there any chances for a GE swap?

 

We are working on a 2nd gen swap also with the L15b7 , it will be there also and a Crz

 

Jesus! I mean AXION! This is amazing stuff you guys have going, any threads you guys have in progress for the GE?

 

I'm curious to know this as well.

Will you be offering an appropriately-sized intercooler and properly fitted intercooler piping as an option with the swap kit?

 

I will be doing a kit to go with the swap that people can buy hopefully to make it even more turn key

 

this news makes for a very happy Friday afternoon....

 

I am sure you are unable to say but, do you have any ball park idea on how much the GK5 kit will cost and if the use will need to make any modifications to swap it in or will the kit be a bolt in kit with mounts? time to collect some cans for recycling.

 

 

I should be updating some pics early next week, mounts have been fabbed up and the motor should be in the car Friday

 

Type R turbo is here, sure does look good

 

Ooohhh.

 

And she is in, just fabbing up the mounts to see where we like it but fits perfect.

We will probably be starting it with the stock turbo so we understand what is needed for the swap which most people will be doing and then we will swap in the Type R turbo. I will get some pics of the final mounts and then its onto electrical and ecu now
