Thanks guys, that sounds like a fair price....now i have to start saving.

what about 2 little honda fit turbos? I want a turbo kit, but i dont want to pay 3,500 for a turbo that only gains 100 hp. that blows. You could buy a Lexus IS300 turbo kit for 3 gees and it pushes more than 150hps, supercharger kit: 250 or more on 6psi

I have gone over this before but here it goes again. I will do anything with the car that you are willing to pay for. This is the cheapest most efficient option for us as of now to make bigger hp in the FI area. If you want more hp on lower boost just get a larger turbo/sc-that is all. If you want a cheaper turbo kit then get a car you can get cheap parts for. I refuse to be underpaid especially by people like you. You can try to bargin but it will get you no where. The only turbo kit that you are going to get for this price is this one. Even after you did everything yourself you would still probably not beat this price and quality, but if you can then maybe you should make them yourself. 250hp does not sound right-maybe you should check you figures, and see what else is done to the car before spouting numbers to me. This is by the way-the only kit that will be offered in mass to the public for the G2 Legend in 11+years.

Cheerio, Kyle

did you even consider the fact that this kit isnt mass produced..? by the government.. jk.. but yeah its not mass produced... if your looking for something cheaper... a cheaper car with a big aftermarket support is what you're looking for.

for example OBX headers for honda civic... $135 on ebay

headers for our car.... :-D

 

[aww-shiet]

Ok sorry guys, but will you be able to upgrade this kit to a bigger turbo without replacing more parts? thanks for the info. great kit and pics :eek2:

 

[bl420]

labrat said that he can make a custom kit... i think you'll just have to send him the turbo of choice and he'll adjust the price accordingly

 

[aww-shiet]

well i dont want to send him a turbo choice that i think is good, and when i put it on it blows the rings and valves

 

[Fricker]

Andre why don't you do some research for yourself and find out what you want and don't rely on Kyle to tell you whether or not your going to blow you engine. If you want more power your gonna need to invest into internally forged engine parts so it won't blow. He has put a lot of effort into this project and this forum and him doesn't need you to come in and say this kit isn't worth the power gains. A turbo on a legend = Priceless to the TRUE LEGEND FORUM MEMBERS!

That's the chance you take with any turbo kit. I don't think anybody that turbo's a Legend will be using it for a daily driver. I guarantee you will be doing repairs and maintenance, and if you're not mechanically inclined enough to tear down this engine, you might as well forget it.

This is not for the faint of heart, this is for people who don't mind tearing down the engine and replacing the rings on a short block if you need to.

to be honest i plan on purchasing this kit hopefully by the end of the summer - and it WILL be my daily driver, haha - i'll keep my fingers crossed that kyle did his homework .

 

[sr79labrat]

I am going to be driving the car on a daily basis for about 20k miles a year. I expect that I will have minimal problems or problems that are proportionate to the power I make. I can make anything you want. I can probably make any sort of gains you want but I will not say I can make you 250whp gain and expect it to run for more than a few full throttle passes if that. We all have stock bottom ends so far which says that 400+whp is a high risk for us who drive our cars daily. Money and time are the only things keeping us from 4 digit hp numbers. With one of my cars you may someday see those figures, but for now I am far from it.
I am in hopes that I will have new news for you guys in a week. I am running behind schl like I said I wouldnt but I am trying to get my ducks in a row first.
Thanks, Kyle

man kyle seems like you are doing good everytime i read this tread i am impressed over and over again...

all i wanted to know is, are you done with you kit yet and have you started to "build" a new kit yet?

i was wondering if there is any way once you are building the kit can you take picks of the items.... pipes and stuff i don't really care cause i was wondering if i could have a visual so that i may be able to see if i would liek that part in my car...

simply do to the fact that i need to go with a certain theme for my car...

THANKS A BUNCH!!!

FYI if you cared i just got my car out of the shop for the interior and i am about to put it in for the exterior again... and if i manage my money right i should be putting it in the shop for the turbo soon and getting my bike shortly after!!! ahahahaha...

Guys, I really have to appologize for the delay. I have done everything in my power to make sure I would meent my deadline. First the machine shop, and now I can not find my friend. He just had a kid but said he would still build us kits. I have been calling him atleast 2 times a week and have not had any response for a few weeks. I am still trying but please be patient. I still hope to get this off the ground even if I have to find new help.
More updates/pics to come. I do have dyno runs for the new car but the sheets look crazy. Sorry fellas, but I will try my best to continue this project!
Cheerio, Kyle

Wil, lets see some pics of that interior.

Take your time, just make sure he does them right. I know how much of a pain a woman can be after having a kid too, he's probably on lock-down for the time being.

About what you said before about pushing 250 whp, that's a realistic number for somebody wanting to drive it daily. Luckily, the Legend is not my daily driver, so I plan on pushing the limits a little bit more. Let me know about what we talked about throught PM.

Yea, I will keep you posted if and or when I get ahold of him. I am sure he is busy with the lady and baby.

250whp is for 5.8psi on my daily driver. I think that we can go higher with better management and a few other add ons like acky injection. Limits are to be exceeded!
THanks for the patience guys!
