I have an H22 motor in my civic... now my question is can i put a h22 turbo kit dat is designed to fit a prelude into my civic or i need some custom welding to be done? Tell me all you know please!!!

You will need custom piping for the intercooler, you may or may not need a new manifold to make clearance.

Yeah I would think that with that larger engine that you will have some problems with fitting a turbo on the front there... you could try the prefab intercooler piping on an h22 turbo kit but dont be suprised if you have to do some custom bending... also, make sure that the intercooler as well as even the turbo will have clearance in its new found home. If I were you I would do a fully custom kit being that you will probably run into the same problems either way... Ya know what I mean? That is the problem with these swaps. They were never meant to be there in the first place, however cool it is to have. Good luck with it, God knows you have more patience than me in the first place swapping out that motor.Good luck and have fun.
