Leia's Built EK Turbo H22 done.. <<VIDEO>>
This is my EX-Girlfriend Leia's 98 Civic EK HB.
She bought a JDM h22 from Hmotorsonline last march to get ready to be built.
Using Darton Sleeves, Endyn Rollerwave 9.1 FI Pistons and Eagle Rods on the bottom end. Basically bulletproof.
Shortly after we installed the h22 and broke it in normal aspirated.
I started last week ordering all the flanges and parts to get ready for the turbo setup.
The manifold came out pretty decent, I have a serious problems making manifolds because I'm a very impatient person and cant handle taking hours and hours making these silly things
However, using a Shitbird collector made everything alot easier.
We have a big race coming up this next saturday so we decided to use all my turbo stuff from my built ls/vtec on her car. The Snail of choice is a 62-1 T3/T4 Ball Bearing Stage 5 wheel. Also be using my Tial 40mm Wastegate.
Suprisingly there is alot of room even with a H22 in the EK engine bay. I had no clearence problems with anything.
People always ask me, "what do you use to cut out the front bumper" Simple, Air hacksaw! best damn tool ever, you can cut the front bumper out real nice.
Mocking the CustomCoach 8in Intercooler.
Classic HMT right here... Nothing like coat hanger welding
Ted owns all with the oxygen acetylene torch. (thanks again for letting me use your kick *** garage the past few days)
3in Downpipe, it was a little tricky getting that downpipe to fit on that 5 bolt flange. We are still waiting for the Electric cutout that will be install later on. Basically it will have a stock exhaust system w/ a E-cutout 3in.
Big Thanks to Steve Stealthmode for the oil lines & fittings, I was going to get a cheapturbooilline.com kit, but dear god I didnt want to wait for 6 weeks to get one!
Oil Return came out pretty simple..
Charge pipes, 2.5in mandrel painted flat black. Also using Napa Silicone connectors, works perfect.
Engine Bay shot,
All Done, unfortunetly I dont have a burner so I couldnt put a FI map on, so I'm driving up to bellingham tomorrow to get this thing street tuned with Dave.

Re:Leia's Built EK Turbo H22 done.. well almost
Good thing you included the coat hanger welding, otherwise this install would look entirely too clean for HMT 
. Looks great though.
