H22A4 is probably the engine you want to look for. Especially if you are in california due to the smog laws. if you know what you are doing you can change from an OBD2 to OBD1 in just about every other state, you just have to find an H22. A word of warning. If you get the H22A4, the ECU has an immobilizer on it, and it will need to be reprogrammed at a honda dealer.
hey you can run a h22a1 or h22a4 in your car but i depends on the smog test where you live b/c i have research the same engine for my car the h22 puts out 190 horses at 6800 rpms and 161 ft torque

hey you can use h22a4 and run a odb2 down to odb1 conversion harness
well the A4 IS Obd2...so why get a harness.
Yes, you can use your accord tranny, but most swaps come with a transmission and ecu in the states. I dont know the way it is where you are, but if you can only get the engine youll still be okay. if you get an H22A1 or H22A you will have to buy a conversion harness and an ECU (P13 or P72 with a tuning program).
if you get the H22A4, you can swap the engine in with almost no fuss. You will have to get an OBD2 Prelude ECU (still think its called a P13) and to do it the right way, you will have to take your car to a honda dealer to start it. They will need to replace the ignition with one coded for your ecu's immobilizer. The other option is you can remove the immobilizer chip, but your CEL will be on. Most places any dash light will automatically fails you for inspection.

I dunno about your dealer, but hell, mine even sells the AEM v2 intake. Basically you need to tell them that you blew your engine (something along those lines) and you want to swap an H22 because its the best price. The problem is you have an immobilizer on the ECU, and you need your ignition reporgrammed. Ask what they can do to help you with that...you can provide all recipts.
If you are knowledgable, and nice, then the people working there can be cool. They hate ricers that have no idea what they are doing, so represent yourself professionally when you walk in.........They let me borrow special tools and look in their personal reference manuals.

hmotoronline.com sells full swaps i would go with a jdm motor if i was you..if you dont care about being smog legal. theres ways around it. the type s jdm motor would be the best one to get because of the wiring hasle being that its already obd 2 and the fact that thats the type r of H series motors..it has a stock crank hp of 220 and torque of 163. then get a motor mount kit if you need one for that car ..that engine comes stock with LSD. and you might be able to use your stock wire harness from your accord if its vtec.
