I've already tried to set some zephyr configs, but n51822 to run as peripheral it nedds at least ~20KB
Have anyone got success or all the nrf51822 QFAA H2 will really never work ?

There's not support for the nRF51 series in our NCS sdk and there's no plans to add it in the future either.
The nRF51 series is not intended for new designs. By next year they won't be qualifiable with BT SIG anymore as they can't keep up with the BLE spec.
You can use the nRF51 series for proprietary RF ofc.
haakonsh thank you for the information.
We already bought many nRF52840 but it will take 1-2 months to arrive, so we would like to use the time to develop some code learning the internals.
We are using these MCUs because we have a lot ( nrf51822 QFAA [rev1 and rev2 == 16KB], but we saw on the video below:
Marcel compiles the zephyr bluetooth samples and it always consumes less than 16KB. What magic is that ?-D
We are not having success to do that, even using the bbc_microbit as board profile.

He probably built with as few components as possible, or the components he used required less RAM in 2017 than now.
We will start supporting the nRF52 series in our nRF Connect SDK (NCS) very soon, but we will not support nRF51 with NCS.
They already there. There are boards nrf52xx in the boards directory on https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/tree/master/boards/arm.
I've been capable of compile to nrf51822! Tweaking buffer sizes and making other changes. It is really very good!
Why do you not migrate all the nrf stuff to the zephyr main repository ? No all, but the enough to make anyone compile the NCS samples.
We work with a downstream repo of Zephyr, at regular intervals we upmerge stuff back into the Zephyr Project. We support NCS, and not zephyr directly.
