Hey guys! Does anyone have any links or pics and specs of this 80's turbo Legend? I friend of mine was telling me Honda made a factory turbo WAY BACK in the day. Sure enough I found out they did. I've been told it has a C-series engine. I find this to be quite interesting, and if anyone has any info or links so I can read up on it!
I found THIS on eBay. Is that the engine?
Thanx in advance! :)

Go to www.acura-legend.com and do a search on GA20. There is a thread that gives pretty good summary.
It's definitely an interesting motor, but it's only 2.0l and 188hp and only came in automatic. :(

I never know that I guess u learn something new everyday.
i knew about that a while back and that was quite surprising. i know i found some stuff about it on a japanese honda site. didnt understand much. i might be able to find that agian. it had like original pix and other shit on that car.
thats a pretty cool motor. FACTORY HONDA TURBO! :bow:
the legend was a test car for honda, if you can see, it was the first time (i beleave correct me if im wrong) that they made a large v6. (2.7-3.2) and the first time they tryed a turbo, and in 93 they made the gs (94-95) and some ls versions with a standerd 6 speed tranny, *VERY RARE* an automatice 93-94 legend :cool2: goes for about 4-8k and a 6 speed can go for still to this day 15-18k, and its all for the tranny!
wait... isn't the legend pretty closely related to the 3gee? i woner if that thing can be easily made to fit in our cars... damn that would be sexy, just because it's rare... sexy like stefi-blue ;)
go here, and you will find that engine with pictures of legend. http://www.luk-korbmacher.de/Autos/engines.htm
unfortunatly the legend is 88-90.
That's a badass site Alex! I didn't know they made an SOHC version of the F20B.
Thanks guys! I can't stop reading about this! And that acura-legend site is making me want a gen 2 Legend!
Thanks again!
Damn that is cool, I had no idea.
188HP???? i thought there was a twin turbo legend with 270HP!!
thats very very rare, but to this day, it is still the most powerfull engine honda ever made
theyr is a twin turbo legend, it was never fully complete (as of yet!) deff custom not stock and expected to produce 900hp+ see it here, http://www.legend-forum.com/vbulleti...threadid=30839 :cool2: oh and mike89accordcom's tl is in there :cool2: :bow:Quote:

hmmmmmmm.. cuz i know in japan, they made one.. but only very few of them..
and it was a twin turbo and had something like 277hp stock..
which is still more then an NSX or s2000..
They talk about this some on www.acura-legend.com and so far, nobody has been able to find any proof of their existance and it looks like some folks have tried pretty hard!Quote:
