I spent a good part of last Thurs/Friday at his place shoehorning this monster into his EG4.
We have the motor in fine now, but we are still having clearance issues with the power steering pump, on the chassis above the passenger headlight. the turbo compressor doesn't clear the radiator like we hoped. and there is NO chance we will fit the AC in now....
Here are some pics.

Here you can see why we're having trouble with the P/S pump.

And a few shots with the turbo in place....

I'm sure most of you agree this is an exciting looking ride.

If anyone has any advice about radiators P/S pump clearances etc. let me know....

Looks promising mate. You can deffinately forget aircon, dont worry its more hassel then what its worth. Not sure about the PS problem but i have herd its a common issue with H conversions in EG's - i think you have to do some notching in the front radiator support. In regards to your radiator... did they size up everything with the manifold and turbo without the radiator & engine in the car ? Its a very really nice manifold but it now it looks like they will have problems running a half size radiator ?

You could mount the radiator at a slight angle to the radiator support offset to the drivers side of the car (have seen this done in the past) but then you really limit the airflow that can get to it, which will be very import when you have a intercooler infront of there and a massive exhaust manifold producing alot of heat.

Personally i would re-design your manifold so that you have more radiator clearance and your turbo sits closer to your passenger side. You could have a custom made radiator fabricated to suit your needs but personally i would grab a Mishimoto triplecore half size radiator, bolt on installation for the EG civic.... and resonable cheap from the usa. Aprox $300

Good luck champ!

Yeah, he has a larger aliuminium rad, the compressor hits it, and the waste gate flange looks like it may turn out to be a problem too....

He's considering getting a custom rad made which will fill the entire gap beheind the intercooler.... He takes his heating issues seriously, so whichever way he goes, I thinkk it will be a functional decision...

MR2 electric P/S pump eh..... Food for thought.....
Have been talking about mounting the P/S pump down where the A/C was...! Hmmmmm...

what are the benefits of using the f22a block? why not use the h22a block?

The H22 block is a cast aloy block, as is the F22. but the F22 has steel sleves from the factory.

Basically the F22 block is heaps more boost friendly.....

PS pump will fit, but your passenger side headlight might not. Depending on your mounts, you may have to section out a piece of your housing to fit it back in. Clearance is tight but it's totally possible. I'm using Avid Racing mounts if that helps bro. No need to notch the radiator support, but again this might be because of the type of mounts I'm using. May not apply to you though.

If you decide to use the relocation bracket for the PS, then the above is moot and none of it will matter. Clearance won't be an issue at all.

Full sized or half sized radiators will both work no problem, but slim fans are a must else it'll hit the turbo housing. Also agree with no AC...I kept mine and had to lengthen a section of my condenser hose and it was STILL a pain in the arse to fit...real TIGHT fit.

Nice build man, will follow this one.

Edit: My bad, missed the part with the full sized rad issue. Looks like 1/2 size is the go.

Oh and hit the guys up at honda-tech. Those guys have been toying around with H22/F22 turbos for ages. Wealth of knowledge.

The half size still has clearance issues....!

What is it hitting?

The compressor hits the rad, and the waste gate will be rather close to it also...

You can move the rad forward with no issues. Just break out the cutting wheel, mark out the waste metal for removal and have fun! It's semi structural to the frame of the car so no biggie unkess you want to register it for road use?

Have a chat to Derek at All in Fabrication (https://www.facebook.com/AllInFab). He is based in the USA and makes radiator/intercooler tuck kits for turbo B & K series, so I don't see why he wouldn't be able to knock one up to suit a F/H frank
