Default 5th gen engine in 4th gen si?

So my 96 prelude Si is sputtering when I step on the gas in first gear and the engine light lit up. The shop said it was the throttle body, and changed it from a civic, but didn't help. Engine light still comes on and I was charged 160 bucks. The engine also eats up oil like crazy (1500 miles and they are gone).

Besides wondering what the heck is going on, I am seriously thinking of swapping a vtec engine (h22a). I am wondering if the 5th gen prelude engines will fit right into a 4th gen? Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!
