Do we know how these L15 motors are for reliability and for oil starvation? The K-motors are vetted, but are the L-motors? Are we just assuming they will be equal?

The K-motors are still cheaper than the L-engines. The advantage for the K-motors are more displacement, better flow/revs, 4-port exhaust instead of a headifold, VTEC, more power potential, more support, NA or turbo potential, etc. The advantage for the L15 would be a turbo setup out of the gate, so a lower price point for a turbo setup, but the K-motor is typically the cheapest part of a swap, so this is only a small advantage. The L15 might be smaller and lighter, but I don’t know if it is a lot.

I would rather get a K24 or K20C from a CTR/Accord.
