81 Civic Pt. 4- J Series or L15B7 Turbo?

Project 81 Civic Part 4 - J Series and L15B7... Will they fit?

By Brian Gillespie

Part 4 of the our Project 81 Civic series is finally out and it's a doozy. We're still searching for the ultimate engine swap for this car. This time the crew tries to stuff a J32 from a CL Type S into the front end of the tiny Civic. But wait, there's more! Next we try an L15 turbo motor straight out of a brand new 2017 Civic Si. Seeing if they fit or more importantly, what needs to be done to help them to fit in this second generation Civic bring us one step closer to answering the question of "Que series?"

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
