Turbo H22 - Honda Prelude Forum

Hope someone can help me out. I got a Drag kit form Turbo-kits for my 94 with a jdm h22. I am having all kids of fitment problems with it. From the looks of the intercooler location I am not going to be able to even get a jack under the car to get it off the jackstands. Has anyone done a turbo install on their 94? Thanks

that's what you get for getting a kit from DRAG. Wait after a few months and the manifold will start to crack... as for FMIC, being too big, most turbokits/installs require you to trim your front bumper, notch your traction bar and most of the time extend the downpipe to reach the cat/exhaust. Have you tried jacking the car up by the front tow hooks? That will work as well.

It is not that it is too big, it is located below the bumper. The turbo is located right on the front of the manifold. All the turbo ludes that I have seen have the turbo on the trans. side of the manifold. I dont have any clearance for the fans and barely enough for the radiator. Do you think this is the correct kit?

that usually the case... most people have to run a thin fan setup. I upgraded my radiator to a alum koyo one and i'm only able to run one fan on it. The prelude engine bay is really tight compared to a integra or civic. Just one of the thing u have to deal with when u go turbo. Heck my downpipe is soo close to my AC compressor i mite just rip the ac out to make more room and run a twin fan setup on the other side of the radiator.
