The other thread was not very active so this is a new one to get more response. Headers can be done with dyno or track results.
The cost will be apx.$500-10people or less, $400 or less for 20 people and more than that maybe 300 ish. No promises yet, but if some one can save me the time and money of driving to Denver for exhaust manifolds I will cut the cost of your headers. DV8- you have first dibs. I know you have the precious. PM me for my address. I could use my car as the labrat but I would rather have it running for the time being.

thanks guys for your support!
kyle :)

Post below on how definite you are on buying so we can get the best rates. I need to give this man the bus. for his hookup!

:giggle: you will see my proof as I whop you on the road. Honestly I don't care about getting "flamed". I just thought you people would like to know somebody actually had the balls to get this thing started... but I won' say else. I will show you when I get the dyno results... have fun wonderin how fast your car COULD be... :giggle:

And I'll laugh when you spend 5k and only put 200 to the wheels due to tuning problems. You either are TypeRkon, or are related to him I swear.

"Well I have a dual-charge project going. I am going to supercharge and turbocharge my 3500lb. luxury sedan that has only been force-fed once successfully, and then run a 1500 shot of NOS yO." :rolleyes: If you do a search you'll find you are among 100's of fools who come on here and claim this or that and never ever show proof of anything.

We get someone claiming they are going to build a turbo car about once a month. They dont do , people laugh at them, they leave with no results. Its quite funny. We can help you with some of the hard part(finding a way to tune it, etc). But until you actually show something, you are just another dumbass who is all talk.

How are you planning to run fuel/timing for this?? standalone? or are you going to try and piggy back it.

There was a supercharged car built, that didnt get more than 200 hp, because once he got over 6 psi, the engine shut off. Check engine light, and it shut down. Good luck. Some of us have figured out how to overcome that.

Well, I didn't not join this forum to be scrutinized or belittled. I joined out of sheer joy for my car. I THOUGHT that maybe there were others who were supportive, and would like to know how my project was going. And I don't know a single one of you people, I have never even reviewed this forum. But I guess I will have to show the go.

When you have been on our end, and seen 100 people talk with nothing to back it up, it makes it real hard to believe a new guy who shows up and claims he is building something. Personally, i hope you are, and i hope you succeed, and am willing to help you if you need it, but i have seen no proof yet.

I wish him luck - it'd be really cool... but people need to realize, that even if someone does it (someone has), and then this guy replicates it, with a better design, there will NEVER be an aftermarket turbo kit that's an off-the-shelf deal for the Legend, in which you can buy it and just put it on from some retailer.

To TNelson - TOO SOON JUNIOR... BAHHHH (nos spray)

Yeah, you got that right, there will never be an off the shelf kit from a company.

What the hell chris. When did you start in with the too soon jr. You have posted after me like 3 times with that. I'm not the only one here running nos.

I know that you're not the only one running N0Z! Actually, I didn't even know that you were running it, but that phrase had be cracking the F--- up the other day, and I'd say it no matter what the situation. At work, someone spills the coffee all over the counter because they can't pour it - TOO SOON JUNIOR! Someone stalled their car out at the stoplight, trying to beat the other person beside them - TOO SOON JUNIOR! Someone ACTUALLY didn't have a complaint for once yesterday at work - THANKS! and... TOO SOON JUNIOR (they complained anyways, a short while later).

It's killing me... Jesus it's making me laugh right now... I promise it'll have you giggling if you just think of that guy's face, saying "Too Soon Junior" when something stupid happens... HA HA I'm dying here, can't finish the post it's so funny I have to stop to laugh.

The sensors are what send info about the operation of the engine to the car (ECU). The sensors in a JDM engine are different than in a USDM engine, so if you throw a JDM engine into a USDM car, the ECU will not understand the signals the JDM engine is sending it. To get around this you have to take the sensors out of your old USDM engine and install them into the JDM engine so that the it can communicate properly with the car/ECU.

With all due respect, if you don't understand what Mike is talking about, I would suggest saving yourself the headache and have a mechanic install the engine for you.... It is a big job.

Who did this and where can I find more info on what where the problems and what whas the (ore more ) codes ?

To me the biggest issue is the MAP-sensor, I am just reading and looking for the best way to make a supercharger-kit, for own use (duh!) and for aftermarket sales.

Crap... Well I was looking at it, and I could re-solder it, but do you think that it will effect it's accuracy? I think I will be better off spending the 90. I was trying to do the swap without breaking anything, but I lost a bolt and broke the sensor... Got the bolt, but man I hate breaking stuff like that. :(

That's a funny statement. I'll put my 4-door wing'd ricebox STi up against this "Monster Legend" any day of the week, and I can guarantee that this "near stock" STi will hurt your feelings...

"How fast your car COULD be..." ha ha ha! :giggle: How fast it COULD be? Well, alot of cars could be fast, but some are not. Yours, I dare speculate, will be in the latter category.

Answer me this:

What kind of fuel are you going to run on the car?
Injector size?
Fuel rails?
Management?
Line size?
Will the ECU drive XXX-sized CC injectors?
What are the largest injectors that the ECU CAN drive?
What about your "turbo"?
What are the specs?
How will you mount it?
What will you do for an oil supply?
What about a wastegate? Internal, external?
Where is your vacuum source?
Moreso, how are you going to defeat the ECU when it throws a code for positive manifold pressure?
What about your "special headers"...? Reverse flow? Did you make that up? Does the exhaust flow somewhere else, as in BACK INTO THE HEAD?

Answer all of these, in order. Do not give me any "Well, it's a secret" bulls---. In this arena, there are no secrets, and no one is going to give you an award for having some turbo Honda. You sound like "SpoonLegend" with your claims and modlist.

Chris, you just made about 1000 too many key strokes. Lets just ignore this dolt, he doesn't even know the very basics of an engine. :giggle: Maybe he's just Type Rkon
I'm glad that I type 140, because if I didn't, I'd be in trouble and be on here all day!
