honestly I think this year should be a great year for legends performance wise since so many people are working on building their motors I truly think that we are gonna have some success stories and the fastest Legend List will be a little longer...

damn i wish i was building mine. i really really want to rip that engine apart. and i want a friggen manual trans. really ticks me off when i have a badass run and try to repeat it and it slips when it's upshifting. but that upshift slipping generally only happens cuz i'm tryna gas it right after the shift. it'll go into gear then slip, sometimes feels like it goes in but isn't and slips but it's really in a sorta nuetral point.

dunno.. when a auto trans slips is it in nuetral? don't really know what it's doing at that point... sides, let off the gas some so it can go into gear.

meh, lol off topic. she's fast for a gen1... she'll be a lot faster when i start puttin some money into her. i'd really like to see Dv8, Telion, and Crowing's car make runs. mine'll never be that good cuz i've got an auto. tis no chevy trans.

From posted dynos the supercharged arcadias are tops IIRC (they've got a twin turbo arcadia as well that should make more power when it's done, but I don't think they were done with that build yet). I don't think we have 1/4 mile times for them.

Dv8, Labrat, Forevralegend

Endless content between them.
I give the Koreans credit, but their dynos are a bit exaggerated and the lack of 400m or 1/4 mile runs+ no real explanation of the system and its interworking’s.

When someone posts half or a quarter of the story, they have something else to hide, language barrier or just plain emo kid makes no difference. Proven is undoubtedly and unmistakably true.

Completely agreed, which is why I mentioned that we don't have the complete story from The Crowing or on the Arcadias. It wasn't my intention to brush aside the better documented builds

what about a rear mounted turbo...like the sts kits? ....how much boost on a stock legend or maybe full exhaust legend without blowing it up...and with no EMS

OLDSKOOLACURA · 09-05-09, 03:43 AM

also the supra is a dyno queen..period. a supra with 1200 hp will get smoked by say a 600 hp m3. supras are only good for numbers yea there are some fast ones out there but their a dyno sheet show off car.

also turboing a legend wouldn't be all that hard if you have connects and smart with motors. my buddy makes custom headers all the time and he is a honda guru (and i'm not bad around the engine bay either) so if i wanted to i would have no problem building a sick ass legend.....but i don't i love my car for a cruiser

p.s. not knocking the guys that did some sick stuff to their legend, you have my full respect and if i had the money and an extra legend i would build the piss outta her..lol
