I saw this somewhere.

Lets eat Grandma!
Lets eat, Grandma!

Punctuation saves lives.

But seriously, this is going to be really hard to diagnose over the internet. I would take it straight to a certified Honda/Acura mechanic. It sounds like you have more than one problem with all the noises,idling issues, and black smoke...Good luck!

BAR'd means is the engine match up with the car in other words if you do a engine change youmust bar the new engine to the car it involes takeing the car to CHP AND a smog check also running no cat in your car will make black smoke becouse your Oxygen sensor is reading bad and will tell the ECU WRONG which in turn is makeing your car run Rich

Also i would not run a B16 head on a gsr engine you will loose power One more thing is your Idle problame is most likely a vacume leak on you intake manifold to find a leak spray WD40 on the manifold while the car is running and if you see any bubbles theres your leak
