No welding necessary at all. Not even the pan fitting.

I dropped the oil pan and will tap the pan tomorrow. I also have the RSX injectors in, but i will be machining some thread extenders so that the fuel rail can bolt down. Hops I did not miss anything kinda tired been a long two days. I will post some pics as soon as I get time. Paul at Dezod put some pics on thier site under 7thgen turbo kits. Hope you like.
Here are some of your pics.

Hey Guys, sorry for the lack of pics, I got so many I need to get all of them into photoshop. Well as of right now the only thing left is vacume lines, fuel system and the electronics.I installed two slim fans today along with the radiator. I will get my camera from the shop tomorrow and bring it home. I also made some female to male stud extenders for our problem we have for the fuel rail when we use the RSX injectors. I have to say DEZOD hit a homerun with this kit. It looks great and it has been really easy to install. If it was not so damn hot here in North Carolina we might be done. Just be patient pics are coming.

Boost Junkie, i machine them out of aluminum. I have a height adjustment issue to fix which is no biggie so when that is fixed i will be sending them to Paul at dezod so they can see what i created. But if anyone is really serious in boosting our civics pick up the phone and call Paul at dezod. This kit has been a breeze. As for my tranny i have a nice size tranny cooler that is mounted beside the front bumper. I relocated the horn for it to fit really well. It will be getting **** loads of air. I will be going the TCI direction in abit. But for now that is fine. I change my tranny fluid every 10,000 miles

Just FYI to extend the fuel rail studs is much easier than your making it. Just double nut the exisiting studs and screw them out, then install longer studs and use a couple washers, and or make a spacer from some small tubing

The charge pipe has a 90deg. bend. Turbo outlet and coupler are straight. To get it to fit, u have to use a slimline fan.

You do not have to use a slim fan i just choose too. I am using 2 800CFM fans. On the stock fans you just have to cut out where the turbo and fan meet. But yes slim fans help out alot. I did not get much done today. I finished all the vacume lines, mounted the fuel booster, and started working on the XFC fuel system.

You sure about that? I couldn't fit mine (charge pipe) between the front motor mount and the stock fan shroud even when I trimmed the shroud.
