As stated in some of the previous responses looks like their instagram account is a little more up to date. What I'm wondering is, will this kit be able to retrofit into the GE chassis!

Same here!
This swap is the only reason I haven't done many mods yet (I've been veeeeery tempted by that RV6 catless downpipe for sale in the classifieds); I am waiting to see if this would be a practical swap for me.
The 205 crank hp and good gas mileage of the L15b7 sounds like exactly what I want in a lightweight hatchback.
It also looks like some simple tuning really exposes that engine's potential.

I just saw on the Axion Industries Instagram that they are planning to finish the L15B7 swap on March 15.
Just thought I'd share that since this thread hasn't had much activity lately.

@axion_industries how did the final swap end up turning out?
  1. Were you able to use the full engine/transmission from the donor?
  2. What ECU are you using?
  3. Did Hasport end up providing the mounts?
Any other gotchas?

We got a motor and trans from a wrecked 2017 Civic
Using stock ECU with Ktuner
Hasport are manufacturing mounts.... You will also need a downpipe and custom front pipe to connect to exhaust, intercooler, custom ic piping, custom intake, custom axles

Total swap would set most back $4000-6000 depending on the mods you do to it

@axion_industries when you say 'stock ECU', I assume you mean from the donor car?

How far off is the stock downpipe from fitting? Any way to make it work?

Asking for California SMOG/BAR reasons.
