  • sick move with the engine swap!!! Props!...bet it was some hard work.

  • sike magnifold

    

  • to call this car rice is dumb. all the performance mods negates any riceness

  • no lsd?

  • impressive

  • who manufactures that turbo?

  • @tom5532 No turbo, naturally aspirated.

  • i want my legend to look like this nice car

  • jean ralphio

  • Its a clean car, but I believe doing performance mods on a N/A car (and the hondas are low on tq as it is), then adding a sound system is RICE bro. Other than that clean ass ride, looks great. I see this shit all the time though.

    Id like to see this thing on a strip, and compare it to a bone stock one.

    Make car faster > < Make car heavier.. ..

  • @Homfridus this is one of the few hondas with more tq then power. its quick and the c35 is lighter then the c32

  • @Homfridus This car has more torque than horsepower. Last Dyno was 200 hp, 218 ft lb torque at the wheels. I have done a few mods since then, like Type II cams, Type II y pipe, improved exhaust flow. It's not the fastest thing ever, but it's a very fun car to drive. Don't get the Legend confused with 4 cylinder Hondas, the engine block is the same that they used in the NSX, just with SOHC instead of the NSX's DOHC.

  • super sleeper

  • very nice , i bet that shit pulls and pulls hard!

  • @olutop1 what does ur gps system have to do with u going from 0 to 60?

  • That's crazy so many mods. The ends more than justifies the means lmao.

  • is that tail light thing a acura legend this or is that your genius

  • @kreigsmann I did that.  I got the idea from a guy with an S2000 that did it.

  • @datdaz84 well done.

    it looks great. 

  • are the acura RL the new legends?

  • @Bahzad23 yes, if you go to europe(today) acura rl i actually honda legend

  • My '91 4dr had a straight-through cat with a Magnaflow muffler, and a fairly long list of custom performance upgrades. It sounded so close to this video, but the 3.2 had slightly tighter and higher tone. I just couldn't get over the resonant hum it had at 35mph, drove me crazy. This video makes me miss my Legend. T-boned @ 50mph, 600 miles from home.

    238K miles at death, near pristine shape mechanically. would probably still have it today with a new interior and 500K if not for the accident.

  • i've always loved the legends, sigh if only it were rwd

  • Legends are sick!

  • RWD or FWD???

  • @ShAwNeXsHeN all honda passenger cars are FWD except the NSX and S2000

    At least the ones marketed in the US that I know of.

  • @ShAwNeXsHeN to answer ur ? despite the positioning of the engine, its fwd

  • car was built before its time

  • so, its a rebadged prelude?

  • @herbienbrian2 Never associate a lower class car in the league of legends.

    @kreigsmann When people can afford to treat it like shit, fix it and park it in the garage when its time instead of breaking it down, and letting it sit in the rain and snow. I think they earned the right to do whatever the hell they want.

    @YABOYX17 You got it.

  • that car is sick !!! soo when are you selling it  haha

  • is that a type I or type II?

  • 1:57 is that a porsche coming?

  • you really treated that like shit.

  • would be nice if you could fit a nsx motor in there

  • You =must be on the legend forums who are you???

  • that engine is clean but i have a question, do the engine fit perfectly or u have to to a small mod to the engine compartment

  • Why don't they make cars like this anymore? I don't like the fat cows that are on the road, I want slim damnit, just like my first 91 Acura Legend Coupe.

  • whats that in ur ash tray man?

  • i want your intake...?

  • shes beautiful man

  • The Acura Legends are literally fast in stock form. My dad had one and it sounded like a F1 car if you were on the phone with him, And yeah the newer ones had RWD also. Acura should bring em back, they would make a shit load of dough.

  • Got the hayame muffler from another Legend I had. You can find them online. The rest of the exhaust is custom bent.

  • @datdaz84 are these rwd? i cant remmeber

  • where did you get that exhaust from?

  • where did you get that exhaust from?

  • I love where the fuel resivor is located. That hood is trick to bro. Nice ride brotha.

  • I notice your engine is mounted longitutal. Did you do a complete rear wheel drive conversion? I couldn't tell if your front wheels or rear wheels were spinning. Nice car either way.

  • i have a 91 legend i wanna do the same shit too i have replaced the motor and trans in mine after alot of research and previous experience with blown head gaskets on it urs is pretty hot im from ohio as well we should throw a meet

  • What a nice car! good job

  • So how much would all the performance and suspension cost to tune my 91 legend like that

  • @LOONEYKTG I have $4000 in upgrades on the car. That's with me performing all the repairs and upgrades. Nobody touches my car except for me.

  • tell me your over 230 hp to the wheeels hommie?

  • @bloodraing Not at the wheels. I have some new performance mods, plus I've had the car for 7 years. I know how to drive it to it's limit.

  • whats the hp on this?

  • @bloodraing

    prolly 230hp or so

  • A thief would have no chance in getting far since

    he or she will not be able to find the gas tank on this Legend. LOL

  • whats ur 0-60 and did the rl engine make a big difference! also did everything line up....wait you said 5spd so its still an automatic..... conversions must have been a headach! let me know im thinking about this.

  • You sel this car?>:)

  • holy this car this bad ass.........

  • so it came with an i4 and is now what?

  • @bandoboy32

    The Legend never came with a 4 cylinder.  It came with a 3.2L V6 and I installed a 3.5L V6 out of a 96-04 Acura 3.5RL

  • You're lucky .. those of us in CA can't get away with this sort of thing. Engine-swaps from different cars :-(

  • does the 3.5 rl engine just drop into place?, any mounts needed?

  • Just sold my auto and got myself a 5spd!! Super fast. Post some more recent vids man. Really interested in how it's coming along.

  • Eclipse Head Units!

  • i have a question, is all that high reving shifting good for the car? please let me know, cause poeple are saying the vtec system can handle reving all the way to red line. so is it safe for the rngine and suspension? please let me know

    thanks in advance

  • #1. All Legends up to 2004 came with a VIS system, not a vtec system.

    #2. I work on my own car, I don't really care if I break something. I'll fix it.

    #3. It is safe for me because I have found the limits of my car and use them. I would recommend not beating the living shit out of your car unless you have the money or knowledge to back it up.

  • thanks for the reply, but im still a bit confused, lets use acura tsx as an esample, i watched the review and the reviewer mentioned that the tsx being a high rev car allows you to drive all the way to 6000 rpm before shifting, i want to know if thats healthy for the car.

    thanks

  • It's probably not healthy for any car to run to 6000 RPM without proper tuning.

  • @datdaz84 umm, it redlines at 6500rpm, so, no problem at all to rev it that high eaven stock. It's a honda, not a yank, it can take it without a problem, I should know since I owned a stock Type 2.

    My car I have now revs to 8500 before redline..stock... holds up nicely, just keep check on the oil when you drive a highrevved car.

  • @acuratlnigga no problem at all to rev it that high. the redline is there for a purpose, that said it's safe on any honda/acura to rev all the way up to readline. Also on BMW, audi, volvo, saab etc.. I can't speak for american brands wich break as soon as you look at them.

  • @Islandsproductions He asked if it was healthy for a car to rev that high. Well, it's safe, but not healthy for an engine to be at 6000 RPM all the time

  • @datdaz84 well of course it's bad for an engine to lie on maximum revs all the time, but it will really have to be a long time before the engine gets lies in the hazardzone. You never have to be afraid for the engine, even long term, to rev a hondaengine to redline as long as you keep an eye on oillevel and heat.

  • i just bought this car, except mine is automatic. this is a beasttt.

  • These were so fuckin' rare to see with a 5 speed! I think it was one of the most sort after models back then!

  • ok that gas hose behind the tail light was just awesome! no one be stealing your gas haha

  • this car had the best name ever, legend cause it is a legend.

    my girls mom had one, the 4 door auto. it beat my GTP it was fast dude.

    it looks better than the acura tl

  • The Legend was replaced by the "RL".

    The TL is a restyled American Honda Accord.

    (People usually compare the related cars rather than the unrelated ones.)

  • Comment removed

  • i want to know what i have to do in oder to get my motor like your. I have a 1992 automatic and i want it to have mad speed

  • Mybad, it's a 89, i had it backwords - typo

  • no u don't.

  • I'm in columbus ohio, i have a 98 acura legend.

  • They didn't make a Legend in 98. They were made from 86 to 95.

  • oh shit including the engine? i live in washington though. your kinda far shit. i would soo take you on tha offer though.

  • ay is it a hard swap when you put in a 3.5l rl engine?

  • If you're anywhere near Ohio, I perform the 3.5 swap for $1800 including the engine.

  • @datdaz84 That's a good price for a swap.Here in NYC,some charge daum near $3000 for a swap! Good thing I don't live there anymore,lol! But nice Legend you have!

  • This is for anyone, I just got a 93 legend and I need to replace the leather on the seats. Anyone know the best place/best website/lowest price for replacements? Any help would be great!

  • I have leather heated seats for sale. Comes out of my 94 Legend GS

  • get the leather on Ebay, and just replace it your self, IT was Easy

  • hey man i seen your swap write up on the forum nice work!! you deff gave me the drive to do the swap myself.

  • That's what you think.

  • That is sick how you put gas into it.

  • hp?

  • Fuckin sick car! I love legends

  • MAD PROP DAWG YOUR LEGEND IS A BEAST

  • about time you get back Mike. So how the shop running?

  • Not bad, Just finishing up a forum members Legend and getting mine ready for this year. Good to hear from you

  • so is the second coupe will be getting some boost soon? I can't wait until then. Let me know when you want to sell the car again mike :P.

  • make more vids man, what kinda numbers this beast put up? ive got a 91 coupe

  • nice ride man. if you were to sell that (i know you wont) how much would you sell that for?

  • I figure, with the time and parts I have invested, I wouldn't sell it for less than $10,000.

  • lol that kool..mine is a 5 speed

  • HOW MUCH YOU PUSHIN OUT?

  • My dyno since the new computer chip was 208hp, and 239 ft lbs torque. I still have a very restrictive Y pipe on the car. Headers have been purchased, and will be installed soon. Part 2 is being filmed now.

  • only 208?..my stock legend have 200hp n 210 to the wheel..not shure how many ft lbs torque is that..lol..

  • If you use a Dynojet or Mustang dyno, you'll probably only show about 170 horsepower at the wheels. The Legend usually shows a 15% drivetrain loss through the transmission and axles. If you have an automatic, it will likely be less than that. Factoring that in, I likely have 240hp, and 275 ft lbs torque, lol

  • Less than 170 hp or less drivetrain loss?

  • WTF are you talking about? The dyno showed over 200 horse, and 218 ft lbs torque at the wheels, naturally aspirated, with the stock computer. I no longer have the stock computer.

  • Lol my mom's acura legend can go more fast than 100 miles..

  • I've had the car to 140+ I rand out of room because I didn't want to endanger the motorcycle riders that were out there that day. Safety first.

  • Fucking Greet Car :) I LOVE LEGEND :) GOOD JOB MEN :)

  • RL IS THE LEGEND

  • Funny, I just bought a 99 RL. All RL's are Legends except in North America. I'm badging my RL as a Honda Legend.

  • I own a 93 auto coupe. Now you have turned me into a Hater. You with all you fancy gas tanks and shit. I hate you, you nice car driving guy. lol

  • That car looks MAD AZ HELL!

  • Gas Tank Thing Was Hot

  • where'd u get those bitchazzz rims THEY'RE SEXY

  • aye man love the legend one thing how did you move the gas tank i been wanting to do that to mine can give me some tips thanks

  • ever ran it at the tracks?

  • god thatss deadlyy !

    XDD

  • Nice seeing a clean local car. Are you around the Belden Village area? I assume, since I saw a sign about Whipple.

  • I worked in Belden for 2 years. I still live in Canton, but work in Akron. My car is stored for the winter. I got new paint, new coilovers, and hopefully soon, boost.

  • Well it's a bad ass car for sure! I'm going to assume, looking at your list of modifications, that you've had the car tuned. I was looking for a local place to take my 5th gen prelude to, but can't seem to find one. Akron Horsepower wouldn't even call me back. (I know they are more domestic, but wtf, you know?)

  • You pretty much have to stop by Akron Horsepower. Talk to George when you go there and tell them Mike Diaz sent you. He knows how to tune imports if you have an AFC. He has the wideband O2 to regulate your a/f ratio.

  • Thanks much!

  • damn godly legend !!!!! so fucking nice...but you should have gotten a 6 speed tranny but anyways nice job!

  • I always thought that The R34s got it's styling from these coupes

  • Acura is so pussy now the legend was it for them :(

  • damn,toy.

  • Sounds amazing, thumbs up!

  • That is a nice Legend. Great work!

  • I like your tail light gas conversion. but wouldnt the gas tip scratch your bumper since it's so far in? oh btw heads up you prob shouldnt speed do burnouts etc. and show your plates at the same time just a tip;)

  • Nice Legend bro'!

  • says who??a fucking ricer...??...bitch ass mother fucker!!

  • you got that right!!

  • Thats one sick legend dude!!!

  • I use to have the 88 legend and if it wasn't for the completely rusted out body I would have rebuilt the damn thing, the engine was AMAZING!.

  • Nyghse

  • Haha Hell yeah I got A coupe '91 Legend myself that car flies.

  • man that is the nices legend i have ever seen and this one is one of a kined for sureeeeeeeeeee lol

  • SHUT UP!aight,?

  • shit, how the hell can i find a 2-door acura legend:|?

  • u asshole, go cry another place not here:))))ass

  • excuse me, I was saying the truth...unless you cant handle the truth

    Maximas all day

  • excuse me, I was saying the truth...unless you cant handle the truth

  • Love what you did with it.

  • Damn...good job bro. Keep up the good work! Love to see more vids. Legend Coupe is one of my favs.

  • Hey Mike so you still have this coupe or you on a force induction one now?

  • I still have it (being repainted as i type) and I'm working on a Twin Turbo Legend.

  • i would love to race you to see how much of a difference it really is.

  • Let me know when you'll be in Ohio. We can run. I have a few more mods now though.

  • which are?

  • Akron/Canton area.

  • no i mean your other mods?

  • Telion chipped ECU, k-sport coilovers, polyurethane suspension bushings are my newer mods.

  • Im with the kid "boy that scarey" lol

  • This is how a Legend Coupe should look, perform and sound. I love that exhaust note, it's nice and throaty; it doesn't sound like a typical aftermarket exhaust.

  • sweet ride...but where did you find all the engine parts i seriously have only came across chips

  • sweet ride...but where did you find all the engine parts i seriously have only came across chips

  • I am a Nissan enthusiast, but I've always liked the way the Legend looked, especially the rear quarters, and this particular Legend is one of the nicest and cleanest I've ever seen. Serious kudos on a very well done, stealthy looking Acura. Nice engine too.

  • where in Ohio are you? I have a 92 coupe, and I definitely need to talk with you. same nick on the A-L forums. Super sick ride man, I'm jealous.

  • Legend Coupe are better looking than the sedans

  • i love the car!!!:X

  • Got a new TL, but still have the Legend!

  • Yo the legend was ahead of it's time. It was in my opinion the best car ever made for acura. Acura made a stupid mistake by not continuing it. Brings back serious memories. Congrats on the car

  • NIce Car Man, it really has some go. Check mine out

  • So much more you can do. I had Indiglo Gauges and an Acura emblem on the back that glowed Red wen id press the brake. (like a viper)

  • All that time, blood, sweat, and tears, AND Benji Franklins paid off my friend...that Legend is in an elite group of cool.

  • Nice. Nice. Everyone is on the Supra's , RX-7 and 300zx. for the old school v6. Me If I had a choice to do a old school v6 coupe. I'll pick the 95 type II coupe. Not many pplz look at them.

  • yo ur car is freaking sexy how u put in it all together i got a six speed i wanted to put the rl motor in mine too but im too broke and that red 350 looks too wat did it put out on the dyno

  • Yo that hidden gas cap makes yo ride foneky. Thats the bomb!

  • don't mind the mess... LOL

  • Hey man great car huh I have same without performance mods and now that I see how well it does I think ill invest in getting some of those parts. Also I think you should put a locker, lsd, or pozi. ya know?

  • Is it rear wheel drive? i love this car lol

  • Front Wheel Drive.
