i doubt you will find any kind of step by step for a very custom very fabrication/modification heavy install such as an h22 into a 3rd gen accord.
You will have to make your own motor mounts, custom axles, and then get the wiring diagrams for both the prelude and hte accord and make your own harness as well.

cant remember where i saw it, think it was here. but it was a 3rd gen accord with an boosted H22. off topic, i personally seen an 86 Integra with a H22 in it. no froame mods on either. have to remember that the h22 engine mounts up to the "f" and "b" series tranny's. just a thought. its up to you. but it will get tough. just dont give up.
actually, the 3rd gen chassis is very open and big. with lots of "flat room" to do custom fab welding. just a guess, but since the motor will mount up to your trans, you will still run all your current running gear, axels, shifting link, etc. and i would run your current engine harness, so that way it will still plug into your engine bay harness. then take out the needed hook ups off the h22 engine harness. like vtec solinoid, presure switch, and other "knock" sensors. but as far as hookin those into your current info center, well that is where the waters would get dark. but the easiest part would be the mounting of engine, and custom exhuast and intake DIY's. wow long thread.
