And people say that this is bad engine.... i have seen VW gti engines with carbon build up on pistons at 25.000km... look at this engine, is almost like new... good job Honda, very good PCV system...
Best and most knowledgeable mechanic imo. Im not sure why Honda doesn't bring him in there team. Your car will last forever if Eman does it. Ventura County is lucky to have a mechanic like him.
Bro, thank you for doing this video. Reminds me of my fav video from 15 years ago, Steve "omniman" building a 200hp all motor b16 on 91 Oct. Love these vids!
Very well put together video. Now we have some sort of clue of how much torque and hp these “baby” engines can handle. I have an idea, you should do an update after 50,000 miles or 100,000 miles. Thanks for the video btw I feel safe to go with a 27won turbo upgrade. I feel like PRLs kit is great but won’t last as long as 27wons with a stock motor.
I really love this video, and thanks for the teardown, but I just wanted to make a comment on what Eman said about oil Viscosity for this engine. Before I make any comments on this, I just want to state that I really don't want to start a "which viscosity you should use" debate, everyone has their preference, and I respect that. That said, for his particular operating conditions, bigger turbo, tuned for more whp, harder operating conditions etc.a higher viscosity oil may be warranted, but Honda specifically designed this engine for 0W20, and 0W20 protects this engine very well in all types of operating conditions. I have a 2018 Si, tuned (Ktuner with the TSP stage 1 tune) and I drive this car very hard. I do a lot of driving between NorCal and SoCal (360 miles each way) in all types of conditions, from harsh summer where the temp has hit 115 degrees F to below 30 degrees F at 80 to 90 mph for 7 or 8 hour stretches. Because I have been doing all this harsh driving, I wanted to see how well my oil stood up to the beating (I use Idemitsu 0W20 full synthetic), so on my last oil change which was 7K from my last change I sent it to Blackstone labs for analysis. The oil was in good condition and I could have gone another 3K on it before changing it. Everything from wear metals to Viscosity breakdown were all excellent. Currently I have 16K, no leaks, seepage of oil or anything of the sort. I don't have any issues using a higher viscosity oil, but just know that if there is an oil related failure, Honda America told me that using any other Viscosity than the one they state in their manual would void warranty. Now if you have modified your cars the way Eman has, warranty probably doesn't matter to you anyway
It’s also worth noting a 5w-30 has more viscosity improvers which many claim is detrimental to this engine and makes any fuel dilution issues worse. Consensus among oil experts is, regardless of what oil you run, changing it more often is better than running a heavier oil or anything more costly than mainstream full synthetic. If you’re still under your power train warranty stick to an approved 0w-20 and OEM filters and keep the receipts.
Looked surprisingly good inside considering what it had been through. Would’ve like to have seen the backs of the intake valves after that kind of heavy use being it’s a direct injection engine.
There appears to be cleaning in the 1.5T intake valves. global.honda/innovation/technology/automobile/Vtec-turbo-picturebook.html?fbclid=IwAR0NwbG1quYT9k_JZPj4H5GVcPDIA5Iqh0zerxlc4V4xVmwIMOxbgBrFk_c
I gotta watch this video again in detail. I knew Honda made a stout motor with the L15T, much better potential then the Hype R. Thanks for the info Emman. Makes me want to get back into Honda after i pay off the Subie 😂
@Sergio Aguirre meh, if emann was able to max what the L15T with the K20C makes with bolt ons i say the L15 is better bang for the buck. Now if it was old K series hands down no competition.
Finally watched the video in detail. Hmm feels like im back at Honda lol. Interesting the TCT is rotated vertical versus horizontal in past K series motors. And that oil pump looks effecient. Emman machine shop?? You dont install the rods yourself? Or another secret sauce mod *port head* cough lol?
Sergio Aguirre yup your right the k20c is superior but currently the aftermarket has been slow on the R stuff as owners tend to buy other things than Performance mods. I’m thinking about doing a R drive train in the car eventually
Great vid. I have a 2015 Fit with the L15B1 engine. Looks like the same engine, but sans turbocharger. My understanding is that the intake manifold for the B1 is smaller and is located differently.
The B7 is an entirely different engine and shares only bore spacing with the Fit engine per Honda’s own power train engineer. The intake, accessories, and exhaust are swapped front to back which are huge changes. The B7 also has sodium filled valves, a different oiling system, different cooling system, etc.
I happen to have the L15BA turbo variant of this engine in my Civic. You said that 0W-20 is too thin, I agree especially with a bigger turbo. That being said, how does the L15 series engine handle 5W-30 built, not stock? I do have concerns about the oil grade being too thick where it cannot lubricate the crankshaft journals properly.
To me this looks like what Rocket science would be like. Anything other than cosmetics and the simple intake upgrades I know dog shit about car engines and I envy anyone that is knowledgeable about cars and how they operate
Subscribed @k20z3allmotorFTW I have a 2017 Si coupe. Had it for two years and only now have put 25k miles on it. Been running Hondata since 8k miles. This channel is an inspiration and probably the most abusive to the little 1.5L motor lol. So far the fuel system seems to be the only limit for this motor. I've been real conservative with mods cause I need this car to last me a little while longer and I was skeptical of its durability when tuned. The doubt is gone now for sure. My only question would be, what mods are recommended for a conservative build aiming for anywhere from 300-350whp?
Thanks for doing this. I’m curious what oil you used and how often you changed it? And was there much carbon on the back side of the valves? I Do Cars also tore down one of these with unknown miles that apparently was run with insufficient oil and it destroyed the intake cam especially by the fuel pump. So the cam journal closest to the fuel pump is apparently a weak spot and worth checking. Some hate on these engines but they seem to be typical Honda well engineered.
I ran 400+ big turbo HP on my stock block 2005 SRT4 2.4 for 140K miles and never opened it... never did any thing to the internals. Your motor should definitely be fine after 25K miles.
This give me a confidence when I’m going to running the 2860 gen 2 maybe 300hp lol i was worried about 300 this man said he was doing street 420 on meth 😳
Good day! Appreciative video! Thanks for what you do! I really need a torque specification for the L15B7 engine. I would appreciate any information on this matter.
Hey man. Do you buy chance have the info from Honda for replacing the headgasket? The manual/instructions info? Are these heads basically the same as the fk8 heads? As far as removal/install
Great video.. Crazy how honda can make a 1.5 motor be so great. 460whp? That very high. First time i heard that for this motor.... But quick question on what oil to use. I agree. The 0w 20 is to thin in my thoughts as well. What do you beleive is better like a 5w 30? Your video are great. Very humble. Bless.
This is great! Thanks so much for the vid! I'm having problem with my stage 2 '19 si. Had 1tbsp of acetone in intake catch can and sucked in and started horrible. Now misfires on 3 and 4. Replaced plugs and 3 and 4 fouled again and cyl 3 and 4 are black and 4 is wet. Valves? Dealer did injector test and said nothings wrong with the car except my catted dp (thats not the problem).

hayden eudy don’t add power before upgrading your clutch and engine internals (forged pistons, valve train) also make sure you do your research so you get the work done at the right placed. You also might want the hasport engine mounts and white line front anti lift kit for better putting the power down

What is your asking price for the L 15 B7 engine you took a part In this video and you’re just selling the engine itself put together with all sensors?
Were there a lot of carbon on the back of the intake valves? Also if 0w-20 is too thin, what would you recommend a mildly tuned dd car to run for oil viscosity?
Hello I’m putting this exact engine back together, I’m wondering what is the correct timing chain installation procedure. I see the gold links on the chain and the dot on the crank but I am unsure how to properly time it. Thanks I appreciate any help!
Hey so if anyone was wondering I figured it out. On each cam gear there is a dot and there is also a dot on the bottom crank gear. You have to line these up with the gold links on the chain. Three gold links in total and three dots in total
Yo man could I get a bolt torque spec sheet for the internals, camshaft bolts etc. searching but can’t find anything on the internals. Would appreciate the help man
how can I get the timing cover off, 100% have the bolts out and organized. I'm prying on the cam but that baby is sealed. I have the motor in jacked from the bottom top engine mount disconnected
Hey sorry for the dumb question new to the car scene so this new honda engine does it fall into the B series engine or is it a new series of engine i know there is the k series.
It’s hard to say. Mostly using 87. Or what I think a bad batch from the factory. My 1.5t in my 2017 civic blew a head gasket at 75k. Now I have an 24 integra. Strictly use premium only now. Idk why but I do feel like my civic was slightly faster then my integra.
Please tell me what oil you do recommend to put in besides the factory oil they recommend? I would love to have my engine not leak and run better since Im TSP stage 1 with bolt ons.
My brother is a honda tech and says these engines suffer from oil dilution primarily from extended idling on cold start ups in cold weather and from going super long times without oil changes. He says when he does oil changes on cars with 5k miles since the last service the oil DOES NOT smell like gasoline, but when he does oil changes on cars that have gone 8-10k since service, it reeks of gasoline
That engine cannot make 465HP if it is stock hardware. Need forged pistons and titanium connecting rods as well as a different block/cylinder liners + many other changes.
Is this 1.5L the same as the one in the Honda Fit? Im thinking of buying one, and tricking it down the road, and am wondering if the 1.5 in the civics that are naturally aspirated, the same as the Fit.
Rene Pena I have not looked closely at both blocks. The bore and stroke is the same but from Honda's perspective, they needed to increase power from 130 hp in the Fit to 200 hp in Civic SI. Rods, cooling, high pressure fuel pump and direct injection and possibly other differences. Also the engine is turned around in the Civic to enable air cooling of exhaust and turbo.
No they’re not at all the same. Everything is flipped around front to back, different mounts, different bell housing, cooling, oiling, etc. Honda’s own head of powertrains said only the bore centers are the same.

It’s the same internal cleanness on honda motorcycle engines with even more miles. Compared to other motorcycle manufacturers.
The fact you made over 400whp on a stock l15 is crazy they normally aren’t that strong

Not a K swap, just a painted valve cover. The L13B is an ugly little engine as it comes from the factory
Can I put engine civic tcp on my jazz ?
That engine cannot make 465HP if it is stock hardware. Need forged pistons and titanium connecting rods as well as a different block/cylinder liners + many other changes.
How are you going to argue that? he made the horsepower man. Stop telling the guy that made that power that he can’t make it. he already did..
Video is hard to watch. I wish he had used a steady cam or tri-pod.
Um hello excuse me where do you live and can we discuss labor cost lol I will drive my si out to you to work on it
Is this 1.5L the same as the one in the Honda Fit? Im thinking of buying one, and tricking it down the road, and am wondering if the 1.5 in the civics that are naturally aspirated, the same as the Fit.
Rene Pena for what country? the engine in the video has turbo
@@jamesmedina2062 , the US. I know its a turbo car, but i just wanted to know if beyond that, if the internals are pretty much the same or not.
Rene Pena I have not looked closely at both blocks. The bore and stroke is the same but from Honda's perspective, they needed to increase power from 130 hp in the Fit to 200 hp in Civic SI. Rods, cooling, high pressure fuel pump and direct injection and possibly other differences. Also the engine is turned around in the Civic to enable air cooling of exhaust and turbo.
No they’re not at all the same. Everything is flipped around front to back, different mounts, different bell housing, cooling, oiling, etc. Honda’s own head of powertrains said only the bore centers are the same.
Wow. Ilove this engine
