^And I'm going to leave it that way.
That Sterling has been there for months. I don't think anyone has bothered to try and get the bonnet open. It had some really stupid looking ghetto chrome rims on it. If I go back to get more parts before I leave FL...I'll give the Sterling another look and find that release. Thanks

Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

B18C swap ditched, A20 to be revived
Looking for K20/trans for ultimate swap
So from what you are saying...if the C20a or C25a could fit in our cars, wouldn't it be better to put the newer 94-97 Accord V6 in instead?
Dane, did you ever find out if that engine bolted on with the stock mounts? Looks like the driver's side mount is the same as the A20's driver's side mount.I have these almost finished pictures that's all. It's one of my buddies buddy, so I dont actually know the guy myself.
I believe the plan is to twin turbo it, and currently the car should be in running condition but with stock engine.
Did he have to change the front and rear lower crossmembers? And what about axles and getting the dash instrumentation to work with that engine?
Details please
why not do some cutting and drop in a C32, like the 2nd gen legend motor, I had one witha 5-speed behind it, and I SWEAR it pulled like a damn GS-T, yes the 3.2 V6 pulled a 4,000 lb. car as quick as a 4G63T pulled an eclipse...It surprised me no doubt.
Or maybe use the C32 internals in the C25 or C27 block...
well the only thing is that it never came in a five speed. You have to modify the 88-89 2.7 tranny to fit onto the 94-97 accord block.

you can also get a 230hp, six speed for the 92-95 legends.
Yeah, 6-speed came in 91-95 I think, only on GS or Coupe models though. I think the 6-speed models had the same 200hp C32, with no power increase going to the GS model, with the exception of the C32 Type-II, which wasn't limited to the GS model, but a revision of the original C32, available in all models. I think it layed out like this...
C32=All models 91-95 Legend, w/C32 Type-II revised in later models (94-95??)
5-speed=All sedans except GS (GS is top-of-the-line)
6-speed=GS Sedan and All Coupes (Coupes were to be sportier)
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure, Jigga knows for sure...
actually it went this way
c32 type 2 = 92-95 GS models. Only the GS models with the 230HP motor could get the six speed or 4speed auto. None of the non type 2 motors had six speeds and the 91 model was only availabe with a 200hp 5 speed or 4 speed auto. You can also get the regular 200hp c32 with a 5 speed or 4 speed auto a in all models from year 91-95.
Sell me your hatchie, I'll trade the CB for it...when I get it running again...
sorry man I have a project in the works for this bad boy. I searched for almost a year to get this car. All the other ones I found were either to expensive or not running at all and the bodies were horrible. Whats wrong with the CB, I might be interested in purchasing it.
It's locked up, and the engine/tranny is out of the car. I don't want to sell her, like you did, I had to look a good bit to fine the CB I wanted, had to have grey interior, had to be 5-speed, had to be 92-93. I found her, and love it, but it locked. I've just always had something for 3rd gen hatchie's.
that looks like a RWD configuration and doubt would fit in our cars. i'm still interested in that c27a swapped into that blue euro 3gee though.
...
nope it is FWD. The motor is transversly mounted, but the car is FWD. I am not quit sure why they did it, but they did. As for the c27a in the Accord, From looking at my 88 legend and looking at my accord I am pretty sure the mounting location are very similar. The problem would be the front radiator support and mount + the hood might not go all the way down. Honestly I would jsut stick it in the rear of a hatch.
you could use those 1/2 size civic radiators. not stock but aftermarket all-aluminum ones that do a much better job of cooling. or perhaps you can relocate the radiator to where the a/c condenser should be if you don't mind not having a/c.nope it is FWD.

I saw a guy on the legend forum I was on that stuck a c27a in a 1988 civic hatch. He used the whole front Legend suspention, brakes, axles and wheels. He had to cut the front upper and lower radiator support, then he made his own out of steel bars. The funniest thing I saw on the car was the radiator mounted on the front bumper. I will see if I can find pictures
....OR if you dont have a sunroof and are no more than 6ft 3 in. tall, you can mount the radiator on the roof with roof scoops and the hoses/piping going down the A-pillars. cover the inside of the roof with a custom insulated headliner made of MDF wood or fiberglass.
Honestly that is a really good idea, you would have to make it look like a real peice of the car.
So a C20 was a 2 liter V-6?
There was a turbo legend motor on ebay not too long ago... maybe 3 months back.

i want to see one of these in a 3g. i read this whole thread, its awesome
another question: while looking on ebay for legend motors (seeing how much they usually go for) i saw http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB..._BIN_Stores_IT this. someone should do this, this looks awesome.

It can be done, need custom Axels and mounts but its been done. Still, doing all that, there are hardly none, if any aftermarket parts for the CA27. But if your interested, i have 9 g1 legends all with the ca27. I might let a engine go if serious about buying. Ive thought about swapping for a Ca27 but they are a pain in the ass, I just got rid of my g1 legend coupe 5sp. Halls ass, 145 was my top speed in it but, id do the Ls/vtech swap instead like legend master
