are you sure that that particular model is the Euro R, there are quite a few of that body style(CH chassis I think) for sale under the Type-R name.

Euro R rear end:


Type R:

Top one looks like the 6th gen EuroR and the lower one is the 5th gen Type-R that was on Top Gear...

EDIT: That black one looks like it has US plates... it must be an imported Torneo EuroR rebadged as an Accord.
dont think its imported, judging by the Cube in the background. Its probably just a Thailand or Japanese plate that is the same shape as the US plates.

Same chassis. Different production year.

H22 is a good option just dont plan on turbo in that state they have FRM liners that exspand and turbo destroys them very fast, you will need to sleeve it and add the forged units too. But out of the box i think its a good option.

If your engine is fine and you just want to increase the HP and torque then try some performance parts and chips. this will really help you and also saves lots of money.

i agree adding a chip will help alot and if you got all the standard bolt ons and a good camand cam gear you could be running decent

Chips dont exist, unless you put a bag of doritos in the car.

Apparently theres a chip for the J series... a few J30 accords run a Unichip...

but seriously, stay away from chips, i agree with finch i dont think there are any chips out there worth buying for your 99. and jet chips are a joke.
