Do some maintenance and it will run better. OEM NGK spark plugs, spark plug wire set, distributor cap + rotor, clean the injector baskets and check the distributor ignition timing to see if its where it should be. Once your maintenance is up to par you could benefit from a Hondata S300 and get it tuned. Gains with the Z6 will be hard to achieve without forced induction so while staying NA you could get some aftermarket camshafts + cam gear but what you spend will not be very rewarding power wise. I say just make sure the motor is running good and save for a swap.

There's no such thing as a B22 or a B19a2. Maybe you shouldn't swap anything until you know what you're doing. I suggest any variation of a B16 but that's preference because everyone will go their own route so my suggestion has no substance for you.
