Pics look awesome.. looks like it's all a tight fit.

i'm hoping your moving the battery to the boot.. it would look so much better.. and free up some space ;) 8-)

Edit: i see you got mass room behind the engine.. thats a shame.. wasted space.

Just at the front! As you said, there is loads of room behind the engine and I may be able to get the battery down there. I am not so sure about fitting the battery in the boot, I don't fancy the hassle of running cables throughout the car!

Does anybody happen to know the front track of the K20/K24 Honda Accord and the Prelude?

Take the battwry and move it to tbe boot mate, it will be better weight balance.
You only need to wired up 1 wire.
ludes are ment to be driven, not wanking around on a stand like a Civic.

i have used http://www.infinity-exhausts.co.uk/ to do custom exhaust on my del sol with h22a
honesly?
amazing quality you can "supervise" the whole manufacturing process and the guys who work down there are artists of their trade

anyway i have payed 130 for manifold and 270 for the bit from the manifold all the way to the back
plus lifetime warranty is a nice bonus (oh and they have honda s2k as their "show car" yet when i was there it was rather dusty lol)

Lottery win!, you wont need one for this swap ;) You guys would be quite suprised on how little this swap has cost.

There was no way I would have got the cost down if I pieced the engine together part by part which is the reason why I bought a complete supercharged civic type r. The only things I have left to buy that are of any real expense is the exhaust system from header back and the drive shafts.

These prices include things that you could do without like an AEM all in one wideband & boost gauge, and a custom CNC machined double din cover, I am sure people could find a cheaper header etc.
