Episode 23: Honda L Series Swaps with Scott Malloy
Send us a textI was able to sit down with Scott Malloy, Grid Life official, car builder, and future GLTC racer to go over the "new" Honda swap. The L series engine is a 1.5L turbo engine available in the civic, accord, and crv. These are the Honda engines that will (and are) everywhere... if you are swapping a Honda, a Miata, BRZ/FRS, etc... this is going to be the K series replacement.
