The crank angle sensor in my distributor died a few days ago. I wound up using the distributor off of an 87 Prelude 2.0si as a replacement. After I installed it and adjusted the timing, I could feel a significant power increase right at 4000 RPM, much more kick than normal. Is there something special about the Lude's distributor, or is this just from me having a dying distributor for a long time?

Cool
What other engine parts are good to get from a Lude 2.0si? Besides the tranny :p

I also have the Prelude's ECU under my seat. Still don't know exactly what differences there are between the two, might know what to do what that extra ignition advance? Who knows :p

As far as I know, the distributors are pretty similar (if not the same) but the advance on your old one coulda been shot. My distributor's advance mechanism completely locked up right before it died, and gave me nearly 0 advance. Both are vacuum advance/retard

i think the Lude ecu has a much better flow rate in the injectors compared to the accord one. But i am guessing u were using the distributor and the ecu from the second gen lude (87 like u said). They had the A20 motor.
i think the ludes are better than accords !

U mean the lude ECU?
And what the hel are those two boxes under the two front seats?
i just noticed them a few days ago.
Ride wit us or collide wit us
:badass:
MY OTHER RIDE IS YO BITCH
The ECU doesn't affect the flow rate of the injectors, it just controls how long they open for each cycle.Originally posted by smufguy
