You are taking on a big swap. The K is not a great fit into our cars, the K24 will be popping out of your hood. You couldn't have searched too hard as there is another whole website dedicated to this topic:

lmao. Might as well get a d15z7 and soup it up or go B series.

B is overrated to me, as D takes more skill to make it go fast
Any amateur can buy a b series but 60 percent of people dont know how to make a d series faster

What zrickety said, also I've heard it could/would cause handling problems as well. Inquired about H22 swap at the best Honda performance guy in my area and he basically shook his head and snickered.
Howard at http://www.rlzengineering.com/
Then advised me not to for several reasons including handling problems. Said I would be happier all around with a d16z6, and it's a waaaay easier/cheaper swap.

Wow! On second thought, you may wanna save that one. Maybe throw a little boost at it. 6 or 8 lbs should do for a start... Just enough to give it a kick in the rear.
