Problem in fuse box (fuel guage, tach, rear defrost, temp guage)
Rust on trunk lip
No Catalytic Converter
Alternator? Car runs, but reports only 11.5 volts, battery never dies.

But Wait, There's More!
Included is 80% of what's needed to build a 500HP motor.

Total of $27,150 in parts listed above, and over 100 hours of labor at $70/hr. I don't really want to sell, but I have too many cars/projects and need something for a daily driver. I would ideally like to get half of what I have invested, but I am just feeling out if there is any interest.

2)Why did you switch to the C27A4? I am guessing you are running an automatic, especially with that 23% HP loss before the wheels.- Not an A4, A1. 325 hp may be a little high, I'll go with 305. Manual Tranny.
This is what made me think you had swapped to the C27A4.

I added the dyno sheet to my yahoo photos page. Turns out it was 262hp at the wheels, not 252. The first image is a direct scan, couldn't get it so you can see the lines very well, so I did a negative scan and you can see it better.

Based upon your dyno you do not have the system set yet. All those spikes are true images of problems.

no front bumper support, small accident = kaboom!

why boom? crushed exhaust? pressure from turbo spoiling? kaboom?
im curious as to how you got 75hp lost through the front wheels...:confused:

EDIT:

nm answered...still skeptical i'd put it at 290 at most crank at 8 psi.

however, you have accomplished what few have and i have to congratulate you:) not for 15,000 though :giggle:
Not that crank hp matters much but at 262 whp after a 15% drivetrain loss that would have put it around 308 crank hp. Seems to be the highest Legend dyno I've seen on here.

Cigg, I meant a turbocharger itself, not a kit lol.

Did anyone here actually end up buying this turbo Leg?
I almost did I made contact with him and since my older son lives in the seattle area i planned to send my son to check the car but the the NSX came on ebay and won it so drop that deal.

I guess he really did not wanted to sell he was not sure I figure that he had so much time and money invested that I think he kept it that was the impresion i got from him when i spoke to him...
