Wow that example sure is exceptionally clean...

However...

I am in NO WAY trying to rain on your parade so please dont take it that way...but of all the years I've been here and of all the articles I have read about the history of the Legend and of all the Factory Turbo Legends from Australia that have been through here...we have never once had any confirmation of a factory Turboed 2.7...and that IS INDEED a factory turbo setup...

Here's what I'm thinking...either:

1) You have purchased a 2.0 Turbo and the guy that sold it has no idea wth he's talking about...

2) I am wrong (and believe me I HOPE TO GOD THAT I AM) and you and this engine importer have both inadvertantly stubled across one of the RAREST OF THE RARE C-series engines!!

Please keep us updated on your engine and its arrival!!

dont worry i bought it keeping in mind that the chances are you are right. But One way or another im going to come up with a setup to have a turbo legend. If this is only a 2 litre which is quiet likely I will still be able to use the manifolds to directly interchange or as a template to make the correct ones. As i was going to do a turbo build next year from scratch. I have another damaged car that can be a dummy car to do the build in then put the whole set up into my car. but who knows it may turn up and be legit i can only hope. I should know in about 6 weeks.

When this motor arives does anybody know an easy way of telling wat size it is if it not writen on it

According to the online manual, there should be an engine code/serial number under the timing belt plastic (around the dipstick tube's height).

Let me know if you would like a spare set of c20AT turbo manifolds. Shipping from NZ to aussie is quite cheap. Make a water to air intercooler or use the original one if you end up with an original c20AT. There was a turbo 2.7 built in Japan. It was twin turbo and they made like 200 of them so I doubt anyone will be able to get their hands on one.

The wing turbo doesn't need the ecu I am fairly sure but I have a spare turbo ecu if you need that too.

Edit: just looked a link. That is a c20at engine NOT a 2.7. It is 2.0 litres and comes with w2a intercooler already.

I don't mean to be a dick but Honda named it a C20 for a reason... C-Series engine, 2.0 Litre. The turbo C27 is an (prepare for a terrible pun) urban legend... just like the TT Legend... and the AWD Legend.

it comes with an intercooler? I thort the c20at came non intercooled? where was the intercooler located? You are quiet possibly right that it is not a 2.7 but if so i will probably look at using the manifolds and do a turno conversion on another 2.7 as it has more potential to make power. or i gues i could look at getting it bored/stroked to 2.7

murderotica

I don't believe the C20 was intercooled.

that is what i am to beleve and the motor that i purchased wat ever size has the turbo mounted right next to the intake. I dont see how it can be intercooled with out a custom setup. Having some trouble with the seller still hasn't provided a tracking number for shiping company i hope i at least get something for my money

legendturbo

The intercooler is water to air and is located just before the throttle body in the intake manifold. The air goes across the back from the turbo, down and under through the intercooler and loops back up through the throttle body before splitting up and going into the head. It is a piece of crap, find a c20a ie non turbo manifold to bolt on instead and do a custom air to air front mount intercooler.

I have an turbo c20 sitting in my garage if you want to know anything more about it.

Or might I suggest a C25 manifold?

I am going to do a custom air to air front mount. Still trying to get a handle on this without seeing it. How will the standard manifold help as i still have to mount the turbo. Where the air leaves the turbo to the original intercooler shouldnt you be able to run this with new piping to a front mount?

legendturbo

I am not too sure what you are asking- but if you want to know what the benefits of replacing the turbo intake manifold with a non turbo one, it is purely to allow you to remove the stock crappy intercooler, get a larger throttle body and have much better air flow.

You want to run the piping from the turbo down to your new front mount intercooler and then have it go into a non turbo manifold. What turbo are you using? the wing turbo is also rubbish. I used a subaru turbo and then was going to use a t3/t4

murderotica

We US members are reeeeal jealous of you guys from other countries who get turbos... Just gonna put it out there. haha
