you guy know how the old ass preludes share the same engine as us right. well i was at the junkyard and i always see the older preludes but never payed to much attension to them. you know same mototr as us, nothing different or special right? wrong! i noticed that the spedometer goes much higher than ours. ours stops at 130mph, the prelude goes to 145mph. the redline on the tach is higher aswell. i was thinking, same exact engine, how is it faster. i figured that it cant be, and if it was, the only thing that i can think of if it is the same motor is, the ECU. so i pulled the ecu and it has the same plugs (which i figured) but the ecu itself was deffinatly different. and there were some wires that the prelude plugs had that ours dont. and visa-versa. i was thinking maybe the differance in the wires might just be different engine check light wires or something. does any one know if we can just plug the prelude ecu in and it will run better, or at all.or does any one have a wire label guide for both our cars and the prelude to compare what each wire is for. i did not buy thecu cuz i figured i would get some info first before spending money. i go to the j/y twice a week so i hid the ecu someware that i can come back to if i decide to get it. let me know what you guys think.
huh huh huh, i have an 88 3g and this is my 88th post. cool
