The first thing you should do for your car is to chill out, and take some time to research before you do any kind of modding at all. An H22 swap will not work for your car. Your only real (practical) options are to boost your stock motor, or swap a K-series engine.

If you go to their website (Honda Tuning, Honda Engine Swap, and Drag Racing - Honda Tuning Magazine) you can actually go through a whole list of tech articles that they've had in past issues of the magazine. They have the full text of the articles and all the pictures as well, sometimes even more pictures than what was put in the magazine.
