    Post Closest Thing To V6 3gee!

    well i know people have claimed to have a stock V6 3gee, but unfortuatly thats not too much true. well i thought this would be cool for yall to see. its not exactly a 3gee accord. its realy more of a 1st gen legend. but its got a V6 and realy looks like a 3gee accord!

    this thing is the '85 honda legend. its got a 2.5 litre V6. not too shur on the hp cuz i didnt looks yet. but u can realy see accord lines in it. think so? those first pix realy look like it. but if u do looks closely u can see its a tad bit longer.

    isn't that just a legend?
    one of my 88 lx's is up for parts. good engine and transmission. pretty much everything is there. the fenders and hood are bad but other than that it's pretty good.

    RIP my beutiful 5g coupe. May the villans rot in hell!

    yeah, when i first started driving at about 12, i thought my 3gee was a V6. that was before i realy knew everything about it. i gotta say everyone that rides im my car is surprised that it only has about 100hp. probley about 85 to the wheel? neway i thought that legend looked similar to a 3gee.

    ok to set this straight I know that he is talking about me. That Honda Legend comes with a c20v6turbo in it stock. I was going to get tha engine in my car until I found out that I would have to put a Legend tranny and then I found out that it is going to be hard to find the ECU for that engine if not imposible. That is why I have the c20v6turbo3rdgen name cause it was going to go into my car until I found out the bad news on it HondaBoy by the way from what I have seen (pics) that engine is 240 stock YEAH!!! I am still trying to get my hands on the ECU for it...It is the only stock engine for Honda that is turbo from my knowledge that the Turbo is from Honda.

    Not those ones. Not even the newer ones have 240. The most that they come with stock is 230 I think, that is in the newer model, with the type II motor. Like the GS.

    First generation Legend. The ones in the pictures look like 87-89 Legends.

    i know the honda City and That's have had turbo engines. the City was in the early to mid 80s and the That's is still in production as of now. i dont think any of the legends came with turbo engines. maybe if someone did a custom turbo for it but thats the closest i can think of. and they also had turbo bikes. honda has other models with turbo engines but not in the US unfortuatly. and maybe the honda Beat. or maybe it was custom too. and as for those legend pix i posted, i already knew its not a 3gee, but only the same type of design. u can kinda see that they were "similar", but most definatly not the same car. hope that clears up some misunderstandings if there are any.

    the CX500 and CX650 turbo were short lived because nobody would insure them, but they were awsome bikes.

    ok c20v6turbo3rdgen, i havent been able to find 1 legend, be it honda or an acrua, with that engine u said had a turbo. now if u say its the c20 V6 turbo, the 20, in C20 indicats its only a 2 litre engine. especially when its a honda engine, they numbers after the letter is how many litres it has. the smallest "C" series engine i can find was a 2.7 litre. im gonna try finding this V6 turbo.
