The swap gave the classic coupe 212 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque with Honda dependability. In 2023 the company wanted to go in a different direction. They swapped the K24 for a turbocharged <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Honda_L_engine#L15B_&#038;_L15C_(Earth_Dreams_VTC\/VTEC_Turbo)\">1.5 L Honda L15B7<\/a> inline-four from a Civic Si paired with a Miata (ND2) six-speed manual transmission. The motor features an aluminum block with cast-in iron liners, lightweight steel rods, twin oil-squirters, direct injection, single-scroll turbocharger, and electric wastegate. TF-Works explains why they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tf-works.com\/blogs\/tfworks-rwd-honda-15l-turbo-engine-l15b7-swap-lets-talk-about-the-engine\/\">chose the L15B7 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a
