2015 Fit Gk5 with 10th gen Civic L15b7 swap
#21
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?

Finally
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

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

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

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.

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
