Good God Ben, you will stop at nothing for some sort of attention?
You've had the car running since summer, been banned from the Legend forums numerous times and have yet to show a dyno and 1/4 mile E.T. of this self proclaimed "Spec R".
Nobody cares about the Legend unless you’re on the Legend forums. The sooner you figure that out the sooner you'll grow up, God willing!
3.5 swap done approximately 15 times! Wow! Tell me Ben, who was the first one to do it?
It's a rhetorical question, Ben.

My motor however is dubbed the "SPEC-R" and goes beyond the norm that i designed and built myself. I had it built from the ground up from a 00' C35a block. It was honed and decked. The crank was polished and new bearings installed throughout. The heads are the RL heads but were ported and gasket matched with the stock exhaust manifolds and currently have the legend type 2 cams installed at the moment. I was the first to swap in a set of pistons from a newer acura motor to bump compression up to 10.7:1 to 11:1 based on the amount of material removed when it was decked. I also custom built the first intake manifold that still utilizes the stock TB and neck for ease of assembly and tuning however it was designed for FI/turbo use and will be taken off shortly.
My list:
c35a1 block decked/honed
c35a1 heads ported
swapped custom pistons
type 2 cams
custom intake manifold
cleaned/flowed type 2 injectors
c35a1 fuel rails
c35a1 ported exhaust manifolds
custom test pipes
C32a type 2 y-pipe and cat
spec stage 2 clutch
auto Aluminum diff.
limited edition short shifter
custom ROM chip(redoing)
custom aluminum pullies
currently running on lowering springs with 04' TL rims and stopping power is type 2/GS R1 concept rotors with swapped type 2 dual piston calipers holding redstuff pads.
Just wanted to show the possibilities of what you can do if you put your mind to it and dont listen to people that do not have a factual opinion to give. I came up with this motor two years ago and am happy with it so far with 7k miles on it taken to 6500RPMS+ and 135mph. I am currently developing a supercharger kit as well and a OEM caliper BBK.
