if the reason it's illegal here is because of emissions, you can get it detuned, as said above. that gets the e-test out of the way, but the safety would be tougher. they inspect the car and if it isn't deemed safe to drive on public roads for whatever reason (be it brakes, chasis, whatever) you have to make it road worthy before you can drive it. it's still legal to import it, it's not like there's a law against bringing it into the country, it's just that you can't drive it on public roads. dissassembling it and reassembling it won't make a difference when they inspect it.
if you said why it's illegal it would help. but i'd say go for the older evo if it's an emissions problem, then swap, as 2.2 said. it took me a bit by surprise that '92's are already going to be 15 years old and won't need emissions, which means i don't have to fix the leaky cat on my accord
and it means i can do whatever i want with the engine, screw catalytic converters.
