Lude Generation

That one was a H22a8 bottom end, standard P13 head (with his usual work) and ATR intake. It was putting out about 270hp so not a standard engine.

Rich used to have an H22 ITR that he competed with in the VTEC Challenge https://scontent-man2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-8/1548110_10153715047890514_1854109015_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=7f8c78&_nc_ohc=dU4Lb_tmypIAX9VEq2C&_nc_ht=scontent-man2-1.xx&oh=00_AfAjQaITeLLZmH6O1A...

It is possible to fix these relays, it might be worth having a go if you can't find a new one. You need to get a soldering iron and take off the old solder and replace it with some new blobs.
