HMT F22a turbo Prelude Project!! w/ vids and new pics!!!
My 96 Honda Prelude S-turbo!
14B DSM turbo with 4G63 manifold redrilled to fit.
Intake runs below battery tray
HMT downpipe made by me and wraped with header wrap.
Ching Chang Meow BOV-works awesome, leaked initially figured out that the O-ring on the plunger was too big, so i used a skinnier A/C O-ring to allow it to sit all the way into the valve seat. Doesn't leak at all now, and sounds aweosme.
Used a 3/8 galvanized pipe fitting from home depot to weld to the pan for the oil drain, tunertoys oil drain fitting threads right into it. Soaked it in muratic acid first though to remove galvanized coating (Don't weld galvanized it can kill you).
right angle -3 AN fitting from Summit racing to keep the oil line off the manifold
My other ride...
So thats my setup. I'm runnin a p06 ecu chipped by me. And using crome, and a LC-1 wideband to tune. Currently running 7-8 psi with DSM 450's. Runs pretty awesome.
Special thanks to:

Turbo the other ride 
Hows the 14b feel on a 2.2? I'm putting one on my 1.6 and people say its too small, I can assume it runs out of steam quick...
cool project though, most people with f22's in their preludes throw them out in favor of the beloved h22.

Re: F22a turbo Prelude!!
It pulls nice. Burnt up my stock clutch fast. Just put a ebay clutch in it and it seems to be holding fine for now. Definately runs out of steam around 5000 RPM. Could have something to with the fact that I'm runnin low cam H22 ignition maps. I think it might be a lil conservative for my motor. Still a lil rich too. I was going to H22 swap it but I already had the turbo and manifold coincidently, and stumbled across some accord f22's that run this setup. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Re: F22a turbo Prelude!!
Everybody complains about how heavy those cars are and all, but I love the shape of them personally, ur car looks hella mean from the front...Using that 4g manifold and 14b turbo was brilliant in my opinion because now you have LOTS of options as far as turbo upgrades go...I sold an EVO3 stainless steel mani recently that would have looked killer, and I've heard is the best flowing of the DSM mani's...I gotta spare 1G cast iron unit if you ever need a spare or the 1 you have now cracks(they're known to do that)...
