Default h22 ek with a/c and turbo

Anyone currently have this? If so what manifold did you use or is it custom? Any tips or tricks?

if you want a/c and turbo put a b-series motor in it

or spend $800 on custom a/c lines

I already have the a/c in my ek its a matter of getting the turbo in and the lines i can make myself. Thanks for not answering any of my questions.

You have an EK with an H22 and A/C?

In for pics, since haven't seen many H22 civics with A/C.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Pics would help with your question though.

Geeze. WTF is up with that? STFU he has A/C.


Sweet job man. Havn't seen this much, and when I have.. it's ugly. Clean setup.

If I was going to suggest anything, it would be to go top mount and re route your lines slightly. But then again, it may not clear your hood. I'm a B man myself, so that's where the bulk of my knowledge is. But I thought I'd throw in my 2 C's.

I know from experience that h22 ek's have a some what tight fit with a/c.

So IMO I don't think you could keep a/c if you boosted it (cause of space)

Dude, you realize there was no need for the rude comment towards my post. I really wanted to see how he manage to fit it. I hadn't seen many cars with both other than Preludes and Accords. So need for the "STFU."

That being said, you came into the thread all high and mighty to not even answer his question.

If I was doing a turbo setup and it was contingent on the fact that someone on H-T was going to say if it was going to fit, I'd feel very shaky with a response like, "I'm a B man -- I think you could get a top mount, but then you're hood may not close"



To the OP, you are most likely going to have make some phone calls, call Spoolin Performance... I'm sure they have measurements and they are good people. Seen many people have something not fit quite right, and they swap it right out for something that will.

LA_HONDAS was the one sounding like a dick if you ask me but with all that a side I have checked out Spoolin performance. I will call them up and see what they have seen done because I wont turbo it unless I can keep the a/c even if it ends up costing me a fortune. Its my DD and I need A/C in florida.

Totally understand that.

Worst comes to worst and you can't find a manifold within reason (price), just go NA.

H2B adapter, good headwork and cams, could be a great DD IMO ... for less than it may cost to your turbo setup, depending on how much a custom mani will cost you, if Spoolin doesn't have an off the shelf one to fit your needs.

And yes, I understand he was the one being the dick, but just making sure it wasn't directed towards my post. I wanted to do an H22 for quite some time, but didn't think A/C was remotely possible.

Out of curiosity, did you still use the D series alternator bracket?

Chill out. LA HONDAS was being an idiot, so I retorted and tried to suggest what I could. Not everyone has direct answers for people. But sometimes a suggestion sets you on a different train of thought. No, I'm not 100% he would even get a topmount manifold in there, let alone attached to a turbo, but it could just work. When I post a question, I expect some suggestions... it gives you options.

I guess your one of those guys who asks people questions and expects a Yes or No in return. I'm the guy who says Maybe. Criticize all you like.

Your going to have to get a custom manifold made. I got quoted $600-$1000 locally but it is totally possible to do a/c with a turbo. You might not get a big turbo in your car but you can get something that boosts 6-10psi.

you may be able to do a love-fab mini me manifold. The only issue I forsee is heat on your ac lines. wrap those puppies in heat wrap and find a good exhaust shop to design your down pipe and I think your golden. I wish I would have done the R&D on my turbo EK/H22. It would make for a much nicer car and I wouldn't be looking for a damn turbo kit for my bmw. lol BTW the swap is super fresh in your car. GOOD JOB!!

haha, I wasnt trying to be a smartass. The bracket use to be made by HCP. I dont know if they even still make it. It was basically a stock single cam ac bracket that was drilled out for an H22 block.
