Telion

First I apologize the pics are not necessarily in chronological order it has been torn apart and put back together so many times that at this point it is all the same (undone); and for the build not being complete but I figured this would be a good opportunity for you to get to know me before asking questions, (most have been found by searching) But if you google Acura Legend Turbo you will see that I am going where few (can count them on one hand) have gone before so the Legend forum I am a member of is limited in this degree of car knowledge.

Progress pics
for those that are not familiar with the Legends engine bay there's not much room for anything
so alot of work had to be done just to accomodate a set of twins.
Now unfortunately it has not looked this clean since


The first step was a place to locate them I was going to mount them under the car but there was not enough room. So I later settled on the engine bay and attempted to modify a st of 350Z headers good idea but the headers would not fit and they were a cheap Ebay variety that were not worth modifying so custome headers were now a requirement. (where I met all of you for the first time) after reading the threads here I decided to build my own headers.



After removing several things I managed to make enough room for the twins and the piping that was to come along witih them

And this is basically where I am at so far in the engine bay


another shot with the BOV in place


A shot of the intercooler, suprsing that the front bumper managed to still fit
Now of course the couplers will be replaced but they are great for mocking up the build to see how much silicone will be needed.


Oil line setup
4AN Feed lines I am thinking I will need oil restrictors

full side shot, drain lines are 10AN


Here is a shot of the custom carbon fiber radio bezel I am working on since I am not big on gauge pods


The latest addition, justification potect it from heat.


Once the turbos are done I will have the downpipes welded and post updated pics if I am not flamed off the forum for posting an incomplete build

And now that you have read my book of an intro I will make it worth while. And honey if you see this it is really a forum requirement and I didn't enjoy any of these pics

dude, your driving the short bus to homo-town

45psi

BoostForLife

what are you going to control your timing with
Nice clean build, I like legends also.

j3w

resize that pic in your sig too

Telion

Thank you, and yeah I noticed the sig needs to be resized after I posted sorry about that I will fix it in a few.
Timing will be controlled by a Telion chip tuned on a dyno with an Ostrich and Tuner Pro. I have been working with the Legends air fuel maps for a couple years now. My primary engine management concern right now is the MAP sensor and related cels. I may end up in need of The Missing Linl or something similar

Ok a few more pics (more nudes to come too
A few things that have been done to make room

-The battery has been relocated to the trunk (no pics on that yet)
-The Map sensor box was tucked into the passenger side corner of the engine bay
-The ignitor box was moved to just infront of the passenger wheel well and the power steering reconfigured a bit

no pic of the PS but the plastic reservoir is replaced with a Zero1000 catch can

-The VIS solenoids were moved to the firewall (two are OEM the one on the right side is the boost controller


-The fuse boxes were moved to under the dash




-The cruise control and A/C were removed all together
-The Power steering hose was extended to tuck out of the way of the 3" exhaust (here tomorrow)


Not a relocation mod but I scored another aluminum reservoir that will be converted to a breather can

Found a shot of the Tig welded N1 style exhaust that will go on it my fellow Legend forum family is not too excited about this lol

but form follows function and she is going to need to breath

My favorite pic of the headers and mad props to my buddy for getting these welded at the cost of a ride once the car is done

Designing the headers the hard way lol
