So considering the Honda L15B7 motor has been out for sometime now, has anyone here have long term experiences with their Honda’s that use this motor.

Since it’s being used in the new Integra, I’ve been wondering if the fuel dilution issues have been resolved in the later motors and is Carbon build up on the intake side as much of an issue considering it’s a turbocharged GDI motor?

I’ve been strongly considering the new Integra to replace my aging TL as a daily driver, especially with these gas prices. But I’m still skeptical about the longevity of these tiny Turbocharged GDI motors so hopefully Honda has built these to last unlike the garbage German made GDI engines.

 

IIRC the fuel dilution problem lies mostly in 2017-2020 years of Civic and CR-V (why not Accord? IDK). We have a 2017 CR-V and so far with 71k miles has been typical Honda reliability but there is some dilution problem with ours (the oil level does rise slightly over the oil change period). Have not checked the intake valves for carbon buildup yet as performance (power and fuel economy have been fine). IIRC, the dilution problem was solved with new ECU firmware.
