wussup ,

i'm the owner of a 1st gen legend and i have been seriously looking at finding ways to hopefully improve performance with this coupe. it has the ca27a engine. everything is completely stock.
after the water pump went splat i've been thinking of rebuilding the engine and was wondering if adding a turbo and/or boring the block would be something even worth considering.
i know that as far as internals and other engine parts are concerned i believe i have my hands full, since not alot is available for the legend , regardless of the year. but honest feedback will be greatly appreciated.

 

Here's a little tid bit fact, in JDM land, they made a turbo first gen legend. Of course, we never saw those here in the US. Now start googling.

 

well there are always mods that can be dont to any car regarless of model.

Look into the basics, exhuast, intake, better tires etc

 

'preciate it guys.... i've been googling for a minute and i'll have to begin hunting down that jdm engine, if i can find it.

 

starting with the basics i've already got that mapped out. i'm replacing brakes/rotors, intake/exhaust and shocks/struts if struts are on this model. susension/engine mount bushings are on the replacement list as well. just lookng to see if there was anything that anyone knew was avail for the engine(cams, pulleys, etc.) locally in atlanta i plan on going to batlground engineering for the forced induction, but was seeing if there were any known things available tat can be bought before i get ready to take it to them .

 

please tell me if you have any luck finding that engine

 

u also need the jdm ecu
