F23 turbo to H22 conversion complete
I finally got the CL back after 7 days in the shop. Here are the promised pics and the dyno graph. I will post more stuff eventually but right now I just want to go out and drive it.
Sorry the pictures are kinda blurry and stuff. The valve cover and modified piping will be powder coated also.
And just to get about 1,000 questions out of the way this is the whole setup:

-JDM H22a engine
-Turbonetics T3/T4b
-Drag manifold
-Inline Pro 2mm head gasket

-FMAX piping
-Spearco FMIC (painted black)
-TiAL 38mm wastegate with custom dump tube
-GReddy Type-S BOV
-B&M fuel pressure regulator
-RC 550cc injectors
-Walbro 255lph fuel pump
-Crane Cams ignition
-Autometer gauges
-Hondata S200b
-TurboSmart MBC
-Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust
Transmission mods:
-JDM H22a tranny w/ LSD
-Exedy cerametallic 3 puck sprung clutch
-Exedy heavy duty pressure plate
-Clutchmasters 9lb flywheel

Great looking engine..The 1/4 still probably wont be that great since the car weighs a ton but it sure will be fun to drive..pssst pssst psst see ya ..Gotta see if you can smoke the G35s...Is there a reason for the A/C besides the humidity outside?

Ok to answer the above questions without quoting half a dozen times:
There will be more pictures when I get a chance
They told me boost peaked at 9.8 psi - the autometer gauge i have is about 2 psi off so I have to take their word for it
Ive been working 2 jobs all summer and my mom made a generous contribution
Yes all the tranny parts are interchangeable, I used my flywheel from the F23 but upgraded the clutch
Im going to try and rack up enough miles this week to break in the clutch so I can hit the track on Friday, but Im not sure
I emphasized the AC because its been hot as balls and the F23 setup didnt allow me to have it hooked up
The short shifter is nice, however, i liked the feel of it better on the F tranny. The H tranny feels a lot less notchy which is something i consider to be a good thing - but thats the tranny not a result of the shifter
Yes you can do this for well under 10,000

i'd like to know how bad tq steer is when you get around to launching it. are you gonna modify the suspension to help minimize it? i remember some1 making some kind of custom stabilizer bars. that kind of power in fwd demands some arm muscle i would think. anyways that is an awesome setup and i wish you the best of luck. mad props!

Raced my friends wrx which put down just over 300hp tonight, in a 3rd gear pull i had a hood length on him. I will wash my car and take more pictures and maybe a video in the next week.

why isnt there a turbo kit for the 3.0 ...lol...I'd much rather have a turbo than a comptech SC....and i always get made fun of just because my friends car is faster...even though his DID come with a turbo, (1.8t VW Golf w/ 12lb boost) and our cars didnt....
