I'm interested in the TB overboring. $250 isn't too bad, as long as they will also provide a larger TB plate.
Leon!!! Help arrange some engine work for our Legends
Leon,
I posted some info about this shop (KMS) http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4091 in Georgia
I actually spoke with John who's really knowledgable with the type and type II engines. He mentioned several options available for the Legend besides head work, like custom cams and throttle body work . He suggested someome bring in a legend and he can develop a design to improve the throttle body (he quoted roughly about $250 to overbore the TB). He could also match the intake to the TB for better performance gains. Im not an expert in this area, so forgive me for not using the proper terms in performance mods. Could you put something together with him and get some group prices for these services?
PS For those interested in head work, he quoted $600 for the stage II work for each head ($1200 total). Not sure if thats a good price and it may be cheaper if your just sending in the heads for service. Forgot to ask for details.

Here's his last email, hes 30 minutes from Atlanta:
We could do lots of things for those applications. We can overbore your throttlebody, we could design cams for it... we could build the whole engine for it. Unfortunately, most of the performance products we could do for this application is a custom one-off piece.
This would drive prices up, however if there are a group of you interested in going in together, we could set up a group buy to lower the R&D costs. If you are interested, give us a call at 770.652.3538.
Thank you for your interest,

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are OFF THE CHAIN. They took the drive train from an NSX and put it in a CRX. Did you guys hear me on this one. They took the engine and transmission from an NSX and placed it in a CRX and they say its running 10s. I sure would love to do that project. As far as the throttle body and the intake being port matched. How much are we talking about and what else can they do to our cars to make them go fast and still remain reliable as hell? Peace and blessings. Bigs out.
