I personally have never seen one done before, but I think if you can move your radiator or get a custom built radiator that is smaller but has the same cooling capacity, it can be done. Just an idea.

Anything is possible. Adjust the crossmember, custom manifold, half-size radiator, and lots of time and you can get one in.
If you do it it would be a first.

?? from the pictures, it looks like you have PLENTY of room.... could just be the angle of the shots though 
So, got a B20a1 huh? not bad. Whats the deal with the mounts?

Beautiful..... 
You need a 92-up civic radiator, then you have plenty of room. Get creative with your charge pipes, and don't be afraid to use a plasma cutter.
Hope you can keep the tires on the ground....

Oh admit it...you just wanted to show off your H22a stuffed in there didn't ya?
Anyways, you have PLENTY of room... even a turbo GSR is wayyyy tighter than that...

wow never saw an H22A in an EF before.. thats unique 
I think you could fit that turbo in.. just need to change your fans to something more slim (FAL?), and have the turbo sit on top, like mine (click link on my car in signature if you don't know what I mean). maybe you'll need a custom hood too to allow for turbo clearance (or you'll be cutting up your original hood)

my friend has an eg with an h22 in it that he drives every single day, he's yet to have a problem with overheating and he is still using the stock radiator.

I could help you turbo that beast! Do you know about the April 14th PA EF (check the ef fourm) meet? Come down and I can check it out and tell you how to do it. You should see my custom turbo in my car! Also don't get a place racing front crossmember....it will break. I live in Lancaster PA so I don't think I am too far from you.

Re: everyone has said turbo wont fit? (esp169)
It's just a chill meet at Maple Grove. But I am sure some guys may take it to the back roads but nothing offical is planed on that.
I talked to Chris from Lateshift engineering in Philly. He thinks they can handle it. He has done all kinds of crazy custom turbo setups and is very good at fabrication. Give him a call and setup a time to meet him. (215)-230-9535. Just take the PA turnpike to the Willow Grove exit from there it's about a 10 min drive. I can give you more detailed directions if you want.
