1993 The H22 debuted in the U.S. in 1993 as the H22A1 for use in the Honda Prelude VTEC.
Would i tack weld a peice of quarter panel from another prelude of the same generation and then grind it down, sand, primer, and then paint it?
A 1994 Honda Prelude S would not have a VTEC engine in it (assuming it has the original engine in it). It should have the F22A1 in it which is SOHC and Non-VTEC.
The 1994 Honda Prelude is best run with 91 octane fuel or higher. The vehicle is designed for use with high octane fuel.
the best swap would be a JDM vtec 2.2 liter. you can get a 2.2 liter vtec out of something like a 2001 Honda prelude but you would have to do the wiring harness
Yes. The 4th and 5th generation ('92-'96 and '97-'01 respectively) JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Honda Preludes had trim levels which used the F22B motor.
they would fit but your car would run rich because the 90 prelude is a 2.0 the other one is a 2.2 or a 2.3

vacuum leak
No, the B20A or B21A motors will not fit into ANY other car than the 88-91 Prelude it was intended for. This is because the engine block was designed to sit at an 18-degree rearward slant in order to clear the low hood-line of the car. So these motors will not work in anything but a 3rd generation Prelude. If you intend to make it work and swap a B20A or B21A motor into a 4th generation Honda Civic then by all means have fun, but it will be neither easy nor cheap to do so because a lot of custom fabrication will be involved. It would be a waste of time and money.
Coil, distributor, bad wire.
Yes.
I just went through that exact problem with my 88 prelude, it was the ignition cylinder.
