That swap is amazingly cheap. RL engines are everywhere (they don't blow up), but you have to make sure the block is 2002 and newer, with the forged rods.

I have $800 in my complete swap. I have a bit more in extras that I performed, but if you just wanted to buy an engine and swap it in, it would cost you about $800.

What a ricer

Just kidding. Seriously, wow, I am very impressed. So is the car SH-AWD or is it just RWD? I am assuming just RWD since you were spinning the tires a bit, but it is possible for the torque to be high enough to spin all of them

I must say, I have never seen anything like that before. Very clean, powerful, and original.

9.5/10

True that's not bad at all, i've always liked the legends along with the tegs....what yr is your legend?

k3ifers · 10-06-06, 01:50 PM

white_n_slow · 10-06-06, 01:51 PM

:edit: for $800, I should swap that bad boy into my shitbucket.

The RL's tranny is AWD I thought. Right?

Brar · 10-06-06, 02:16 PM

Don't like the hood, but very nice.

oh and its Header

Sounds like FWD, I don't think 91 Legends were RWD :o

The newer ones yes. The older ones were based off the legends.

A transmission can't be FWD, RWD AWD or anything. You're going for 'drivetrain', and it was FWD until MY2005.

Chefboiali · 10-06-06, 02:46 PM

Nice!

There's a '91 on my street that's crying for attention. Hmmm.

JGordon · 10-06-06, 03:51 PM

That's a really sweet, clean ride. I love that generation Legend coupe. The lines are so slick. It's hot. Too bad Acura doesn't have anything equivalent nowadays.

Yeah, the 91 5 speed or automatic transmission will bolt directly up to the RL engine with the exception of one bellhousing bolt.

The swap can be found under engines on this site: www.car-part.com

He's the innovator of the swap. I just followed his lead. He's the first to have it in a sedan, and I'm the first in a coupe.

ED9man · 10-06-06, 10:14 PM

Get an LSD, also an SAFC is shitty engine management.

Otherwise pretty cool.

aux · 10-06-06, 10:27 PM

lookin good. love the tailight setup

Some of the members at Acura-legend.com finished up a prototype chip for the Legend ECU. That, backed by the S-AFC is all I need for N/A engine management at this point in time. I don't know if I'm ready for LSD yet. That'll probably be one of my last mods over this winter, preceded by Headers, chip, Tein Coilovers, and a few other goodies I have in store..

Once forced induction rolls around, I'll probably end up using either the AEM EMS or an Autronic system.

ED9man · 10-06-06, 11:43 PM

Hondata is supposed to be really good too.

Still doesn't answer my question since he's running nitrous and the 6-speed (which I assume is off the Type-II).

Accord96 · 10-07-06, 02:27 AM

God damn that is a sexy car.

**b00gers** · 10-07-06, 02:29 AM

I've always liked the body style

Hondata won't even talk to me about making a chip.

My car won't be at the track until Spring. I still have a lot of work to do before wasting money on track times.
