Building your dream car is a journey. As you tune your engine for more boost and torque, the factory drivetrain often becomes the first point of failure, but the physical limits of your engine block are not far behind. We specialize in Honda and Acura platforms (Civic Si, Type R, Integra). Whether you are building a daily driver or a dedicated track weapon, Two Step Performance is here to supply the heavy-duty components you need to handle high-horsepower builds reliably.

Our growing selection of performance engines and forged internals provides the bulletproof foundation required to push your build to the absolute limit.

Built Shortblocks for Honda 1.5T

Unlocking your ECU is the most significant step in modern performance. However, feeding massive amounts of boost into a stock motor will eventually find its breaking point. Upgrading to a built bottom end ensures your engine can safely handle aggressive tuning.

  • L15B7 & L15CA Platforms: We offer fully built shortblocks specifically tailored for the 1.5L Turbocharged 2016+ Honda Civic and the 2022+ Civic Si. These are precision-machined and assembled to give you the ultimate foundation for extreme horsepower goals.

Forged Engine Internals

Factory components are designed for cost efficiency, not for high-heat endurance. If you are building your own engine, replacing forged internals is essential.

  • TSP x Traum Pistons: Our custom TSP x Traum L15B7/L15CA Pistons are engineered to withstand extreme cylinder pressures and heat, ensuring your rotating assembly remains intact under heavy track use.

FAQ Section

How do I know if these engine components fit my car? 

We specialize in Honda and Acura platforms (Civic Si, Type R, Integra). Please check the fitment notes on each product page or contact us with your vehicle details to confirm compatibility.

Do you offer installation guides for built shortblocks? 

While we offer an extensive library of performance parts installation guides, complex jobs like turbo upgrades and full engine replacements require advanced mechanical knowledge and specialized tools. We highly recommend seeking out a professional performance shop for the installation and break-in of built engines.

What is the difference between the L15B7 and the L15CA? 

The L15B7 is the engine code for the 1.5L turbocharged engine found in the 10th-generation (2016-2021) Honda Civic. The L15CA is the updated version found in the 11th-generation (2022+) Honda Civic Si. Each requires specific block preparations, which is why we offer distinct shortblocks for both.
