The PW-229 was originally tested on a F-15A in the late 80s.

The F-15 Active which was originally a preproduction F-15b had pw-229s

the JASDF considered installing the F110-ihi-129 on their F-15Js in the late 90s nothing ever seems to have come of this. The Eagle unlike the strike eagle does not have a common bay and this would require re-engineering.

beyond that before they were cleared to get the F-15E Saudi Arabia was offered and going to a single seat Strike Eagle called the F-15F. It likely would have been heavier then the standard eagle but would have had the less draggy canopy of the F-15A/C. This fell through when they were cleared for a moderately downgraded mud hen.

And surprisingly that’s all I’ve found on the subject so far.
