How is it hard to get a turbo into Thailand? You guys have access to the internet just search around and you'll find the right one.
Your other option isnt bad either, getting the turbo was a volvo/ saab.
Umm...if you have built an engine to get the max HP in an NA configuration it would cost you more to go to an FI configuration than stay NA.

In an NA configuration you are relying on high compression to give you the needed power, if you were to simply bolt a turbo, N2o, or SC onto that setup you would blw the head right through your hood.

I run 11.7:1 compression on my H22, could you imagine the destruction from pushing even 8lbs of boost on that or a simple 50 shot?

Or put a C30A or C32B in a 91-01 Legend it all werks or 94-98n american TL
The manual tranny from an 87-90 Legend will not bolt up to a C27A motor. A friend (HunV6) and I have explored that option quite fully and it just won't work. The other issue is that to get the V6 to fit in the 4cyl engine bay is also a nightmare because the 94-97 4 cylinder engine bay is considerably smaller than the V6.

Also if I remember right the V6 5th gen only came in 96-97 which was 5th gen version 2.

Yeah but on an MR2 if you didn't have turbo it would be the single worst gutless wonder on the road.

Default woke up for water but want to say

There is not a Diff in the engine bay on 94-97 accord 4cy and V6, the diff is that the motor front mount is on the pass side for a V6 and on the driver side for the 4cyl, and as i do remember correctlly, the V6 front mountis pushed farther toward the fender on the pass and the 4cyl more toward the engine on the driver side, The legend of 87-90 were C27A1 in america and the V6 in the accord a slightlly updated C27A4 either yur an idiot or just dumb, the tranny mounted to the C27A1 would fit the A4 cause its the same block designation, wut distinguishes american modles like A1 and A4 etc are year revisions .A K20 4cyl is timing chain inspired and sits in a same seating config in the engine bay as a Jseries and C series engines, not really anything to change with mounts.back to the C27 ,the C27 sits front(close to the radiator) have yu looked at 1 closelly and seen all the room near the firewall, as oppossed to the F series which sits aft the engine bay snuggling near the firewall.How yu think Honda would make 2 diff engine bays for V6 and 4cyl is horindous, just like saying that about a toyota camry or Windom,


if yu look at pics i had put in my garage yud see the proof long ago
