Probably H22 if you want it to be reliable for a long time. And it must be decent if Honda used the same geometry in the updated engine for the S2000, F22c.

Here's what's possible with relatively minor modification and tune. That's whp:

I think the first question you should ask yourself is how long you want the motor to last before a tear down, and what type of operation it'll be used for (strip, track, street, etc).

Probably the most reliable/most power would be some sort of conservative K24...

but that's major surgery

Search for question one.

Question two: contact Hasport. They now sell a kit (mounts and axles) to swap K series into the 4g Prelude.
