I remember looking on e-bay a looong time ago when I was just first starting to look for jdm stuff for my car. I remember coming across a jdm acura legend engine swap and it had a factory honda turbo mounted to it. I was like cool! then clicked by. I wish I saved pictures of it but now i'm wondering how big the turbo was.
They released this model in 1988 in the acura Legend and Steerling (Legend clone)
Few months back I picked up a tuner magazine with the article of some guy having the first Boosted Legend (hahaha) he could've just found this swap and dropped it in.
I know the legends stateside never came turbo....but as far as the steerlings i'm unsure. I saw a few Legend/steerling clones at my local junkyard that were that year but never payed any attention in the engine bay. The first units were supposingly built in Anchorage Alasaka.....maybe a few are over here? I'm going to keep a lookout. As far as I know they were available in japan and the Uk...
Thought it would be nice to find a oem honda turbo with the words HONDA raised print on it.... Get popped by the cops and I can say it's o.e.m equipment and my car is from out of of the country. Look at my military sticker biyatch!
We have some really dumb cops in my area.
There's 3cars at the military base where I work at that have real RHD cars. I think it's funny when they drive offbase. I don't know what the heck the other 2 jdm cars are.....never seen those things in my life... but the other guy I know has a real RHD S14 silvia with japanese plates etc and he drives it off the base without any temporary tags. He got popped once but the cop let him go. I doubt I would be as lucky but it would be a funny scenario.
