im spending lots of cash on it at the moment and am curious on the engine, its a great engine but i want something badder. so im curious to know can u engine swap anything into theses? like a type r integra engine or anything?
on the other side of the coin wat sort of engine addons are avaliable for the current engine? anyone done anything at all?
i think its a ka8, not really sure. and does anyone know a place to get spare parts, i need a console cover for under the stereo holes.

i understand theres alot of questions there but any help would be great guys, thanks guys

turbo !!!!

Umm, why on earth would you remove the V6 and put in a 4cyl ?? look in th US, they love the Legend there and have heaps of parts for exhausts, intakes, and most likely a supercharger, best place to start is the US Legend forums. Cheers

[dc2dc2dc2]

i agree
4cyl is such a big car is just embarassing
stick with the 6 and turbo/supercharge ftw
dooo it

hmmm interesting. wat without boost? r there any n/a mods off shelf? or would i need to develop them myself

[thepope1986]

i carried out a c35 conversion in my KA7 (only one in oz as far as i know) which was good. apparently theres someone in america bringing out a supercharger kit for the legend. id stay away from turbo cos the manifolds are in a prick of a spot. theres a few guys in america running around 12-13sec passes check the www.acura-legend.com you'll be able to find something im sure. you wont find anything in australia performance wise for the legend. good luck :)

[thepope1986]

o yeah if you didnt realise the legend is a north south motor good luck putting an east west 4cyl in lol

[SK88RR]

wat about a vtec accord engine?

[kcokla]

btw
do u own that house too
cause omfg thats huge

[Riviera]

lol yea, scrap the type R integra motor idea

i reckon supercharge it... would sound sooooooo sick...
run it at 8PSI safely mmmmm i can hear the whine now
as your cruising



o yeah if you didnt realise
the legend is a north south motor good luck putting an
east west 4cyl in lol

its wierd isnt it... especially when its a FWD...

[thepope1986]

have you taken a good look at how its setup aswell. 10/10 for dumb ideas. the gearbox has a shaft that goes into the diff which is mounted to the side of the engine and one of the axles goes through the sump. wtf?

lolll,,,,,, the stock c32a engine in ur ka7/8 legend makes the same power as a type r, if not more than a b18c, and produces way more torque, if you where to put a c32a in a integra type r, they would gain quicker speed, your thinking the other way around. replace ur engine with a type 2 c32a engine, and maybe program ur ecu with nsx mapping. u can make good power

Your car was also available with a 6 speed manual in America. If you just want it to get up and go better look at that. Also a C35 from a later model will go in, but it's quite involved. Other than that, not much you can do, I used to own the next model from yours, just enjoy it for what it is - a great pimpin cruiser.

Oh BTW, I put Acura grille emblem and boot on mine, and it confused the sh!t outta people. "is that a Lexus or somthin?" was the most common.

Try Acura -Legend they are helpful over there.

lol i have to agree, do u drive it strictly as a showcar or an around towner, would have a hell of a time with speedbumps i imagine, could u post some more pics??

[SK88RR]

thanks for some of the smart arse respsonses guys, i was just asking wat my options were, i dnt recal asking for some ppl to be ****wits.

thank u to the ppl that have actually made helpful posts.
the car is bagged so speed bumps r no issues, as it lifts up to a driveable hieght. its a daily driven show car, and yes thats my house.
so would the accord vtec engine work or not?

again thanks to the positive comments

[Nax]

lol i cant tell if that was friendly bringing of friends or a threatening bringing of friends

the matt black looks heaps rad, looks sorta like a mob bosses car. are you running any other rides or just the one?

wat sort of sound system are you packing?

again, im not being helpful but i dont know too much about engine swapping, im just curious

and if thats ur house i would say u have a bit of moolah, so u probably have more options then the everyday person, are you set on a honda engine?

[SK88RR]

well i just re did the whole bag setup and interior, so im not going to start on the stereo setup.
yeh im keen on keeping it a honda engine, a mate of mine said that the accord engine should work, just have to see i guess. i also own a custom harley

[ajdin]

yeah the integra type r engine would have no where near enough torque for the weight of the car.. i got the 1996 gen 3 honda legend with the c35 engine put a pod on it, some decent rims with quality tyres, custom mandrel bent exhuast and extractors and your looking at some good gains... stock i beielve the c35 enigne produces more power than the integra type r engine.. weight reduction is another very good option, my car stripped will comfortably keep up to a b16a2 eg4 civic... the potential is there
