Well, after some patients, money, and some good mechanics my car has a new motor. It's a JDM H22A (OBD1) with an lsd and it rides and revs like a dream. I love VTEC all over again. Here are the pics, I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out.

After a bath from sitting in my yard for 2 months:

Still waiting to pull the jdm h22a out first, then I can drop her in and pick up a few more parts...

I was thinking maybe a Skunk 2 IM, AEM FPR, possibly cams, and a P72 ECU I think. Also an EOM lip kit next spring.

 

very nice!

Sorry man, I guess you are right. It kinda takes the Tech out of Honda-Tech.
If you want to move it or trash I won't mind.

Waaay better, considering half the time my ATTS would cut out on me around tight turns. The lsd makes it very difficult to lose traction.
