    I can tell you that the interior components are not exactly the same, but thats about it.

    it will fit, but you shouldnt see any performance gains. I had figured out that the 87 Accord and 87 'Lude used the same computer, ie same part #'s. The only difference I could find between the 2 engines. 'Lude 160Deg. Stat. Accord 180deg. stat, and that the 'Lude used a similar, but different fuel filter.

    and that the 87 and i believe 88 used 1 O2 sensor, 89 uses 2, for sure, I have one. I believe that Sabz said his car ran richer with the SI ECU

    The only diff I've noticed between the 87 accord and the 87lude is the lude has 140 mph as top speed, and the accord has 130 mph top speed.

    I think the lude ecu has diff rev and speed limiters. Can anyone back up that theory of mine.

    I dont know if it was Sabz but a member said you need the distributor and ecu to notice a difference or something like that. You will notice that 4000rpm to redline wraps up faster. Thats what I was told.
