Would this be handy enough. Would just need prelude loom to match with the accords and mybe different mounts?

Hi mate, I was doing this on my 2001 Accord. One thing I'd say is check what OBD your Accord is. All the 2.0's were OBD-II but the 1.8's were a mix of OBD-I and OBD-II from memory. If your car is OBD-I then go for the H22A from a 4th gen Prelude, if your car is OBD-II go for the H22A from a 5th gen Prelude (5g lude owners correct me if I'm wrong! I know the engine in the SiR is OBD-II but not sure about early UKDMs?) - I did it the wrong way around and IMO it's not worth the hassle of the wiring if you can get the right engine in the first place. You'll also need the nearside engine mount from a 5th gen prelude as the Accord mount on that side won't take a H22A. You will need custom p/s hoses as well to take the pump (apparently) and from memory I think the fuel hoses are different too where they join the fuel rail but I can't remember 100% on that one.
