get an oil pressure guage like your tuner said and see what the oil pressure is.

It could be the oil pressure switch or the wiring for vtec.

But i would assume a lack of oil pressure would cause the "low oil" light to come on, instead of a code 22.

I would check the wiring first because that would be easier then purchasing an oil pressure gauge. But if the wiring checks out then do what lenny said

stop driving that thing around and trying to pop that vtec, take it to a qualified shop...that has done b20/vtec swaps.
