I'm assuming you mean Civic hatch.

My friend has a JDM H22A in his 93 hatch, and we have video of it outrunning a C5 Corvette. That car is crazy fast. The disadvantage: No belt driven accessories. You have to give up your A/C, ABS, and power steering. However, this also means less parasitic drag. Also, since the H22A is larger than a B series engine, understeer will become much more apparent, but nothing that can't be corrected with some beefy sway bars.

If you want something a little more daily driver friendly, put in a B18C and bore it out to bump up displacement. That way you also keep all your belt driven accesories, not to mention the swap itself will be much less "invasive" yo your engine bay.
