just droppin by to remind you to wrap everything when your done... cause thats gonna be a hot one... and since you worked very hard on this project, we can't afford any mistakes now can we?.. i always find a checklist useful:)
 
Hey Telion! Haven't been on for a while; it doens't suprise me that you are to this point. Just a question out of curiousity; are you worried about the heat from the exhaust on the belt drive or anything? It looks like a really good setup man, congrats.

Thanks, To be honest yes, yes I am and in the back of my head I am going through solutions in addition to the jet hot coating but I think it might be ok, guess we'll find out soon enough.

Thanks Kyle, glad to see you back in the mix, should be more updates on it throughout this week. I am sure you know the required level of patience to not just fire this thing up half ass just to see what it does lol!

Ok I have a little update not much though I was able to get more of the exhaust side ready for welding. Once the engine is back in and this portion has been welded up I will be able to complete all of the exhaust work.

Thanks, that took much longer than I thought it would, the first go around was to try to duplicate it out of the car. Then I thought it I could get away with less bends and did it under the car and lol it came out damn near the same.

One more pic of the exhaust before it gets sent off to the welder

I'll build you a fine, fine computer if you build me a turbo setup. LOL what else are innovators used for? Bargaining and negotiating! J/K man.. good shit Telion. Took me nearly 2 hours to read every single post.

Yeah laying it out on the carpet was the only place where I had enough free space to see the whole thing between cuts and test fittings. wasn't too dirty though.

:D no resonators here but I still debate with myself about that damn muffler.

Nice to hear. I'll be visiting this thread a lot, to get some insight on forced induction, now that I have internet access again. My help is out of state and it'll be a while, maybe late spring or early summer, till I can afford to travel on an exceptional expense rate again.

im looking forward to the finished product after all the kinks are worked out of the system and the motor is fully tuned properly.

This will really change the way our cars as soon as other members install turbo kits on their legends. I mean the legend is a great car, and it holds its own against even new luxury cars in terms of acceleration and performance.

now imagine our cars running around with well tuned turbo setups making lots of power and killing high performance vehicles while reppin the Legend name! Talk about the perfect car! Telion, just take your time man and do it right, and above all things, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS CAR TUNED PROPERLY!!!

This im sure will be one of the biggest challenges yet. Good luck with this.

Thank you to both of you I too hope for this to be part of a game changing push for our cars in the realm of contenders to be respected at the track. And that others are inspired and follow suit in some fashion or another, hence why this build is taking place so openly (that and assistance).

I agree about the tuning and regardless of what it takes (hopefully less than more) she will be tuned and from the looks of it by one the best and most respected Honda Turners in the U.S.

Now for a few more pics that came together from another wonderful person who graciously did the welding for me, Joe Cool :bowdown:

After work I will find out how well (or poor) I lined everything up.
This was quite the challenge to do underneath the car at jack height
with just a couple jacks and a strap to hold it in place as I marked it off :)
