I am in elizabeth you can email me at miketatreau@yahoo.com. The best engine to stuff in there would be h22a. It will bolt right up. With the exhust id depends on if you want the rice sound or quiet. I have a h23a in a 93 accord with a greedy test pipe and a apexi cat back and it is quiet only thing that you can hear is the aem intake. You shoud email me and we can get together and I can help you build it. I am in the process of rebuilding mine since i snaped the crank.   Good luck man. If you want some help let me know.

The 4 door accord is actually lighter than the coupes, better for racing plus you get the sleeper look.  As far as engines go Maddaccord is pretty much right; the H22 is about as good as it gets.  You need to look for a H22a4 as those are already ODB 2, just like your accord.  When swapping a motor in a vehicle for road use it has to have a motor of the same year or newer. If you're really feeling gutsy and have the money to spend a K24 swap is also possible; its just about twice what the H is right now.
