My brother wants to swap an h22a into his 95 honda accord ex. Would I be easier to swap an OBD1 or OBD2 engine into it?

I'm not to familiar with the F and H family but I've heard that the H doesn't take well to boost. I don't remember what the reason was, maybe thin sleeves. Some people will say cause of the rather high compression ratio, ignore that if you have a good tuner or trust whoever you deal with.
Yeah, it's because of the sleeves. They're made from FRM, which is lightweight and plenty strong enough to handle the motor's stock output, but not really very ideal for boosted applications.
Like you said though, it's still ok to boost on an H22, you just need to keep it at a very reasonable level and make sure it's tuned well (which should be a requirement for any forced-induction setup anyway).
