I have a 1994' Honda Prelude. What would be the best motor swap to do that would have great horsepower ?

Well, I'm thinking that by his name, he's got a Prelude S, which is a crappy platform for boost. F22A1, SOHC non-VTEC.
You're better off getting a USDM H23A1 to drop in there. No messing with VTEC, nice low to mid compression for boost.
To clarify, the JDM H22A has 10.6:1 compression. The H22A out of the JDM Type S has 11.1:1 compression.

he's already got a 2.2L, boost it and you'll get lots of TQ, that will fire you down the 1320

i'm gonna go with everyone else and say that his motor is a P.O.S. i had a boosted h22 in my wagon (yes a '91 accord wagon) that ran 12.30's on drag radials. i sold that motor to make some cash and put the old f22 back in. the h22 just like the f22 (or any motor) requires building to handle more than 7-8 psi. but once you build the h22 it will be more reliable because of the closed deck and the cam tuning ability doesn't hurt either. in the long run if he tries to boost his current motor he's gonna run into a lot more problems than with a built h22. but i think turbo is the way to go hands down for high hp

A boosted pile of poop is still a pile of poop, just one that will be prone to blowing up quicker.
