well, i know that doing it on an accord of the same vintage isn't that easy. my tech just did one, and we were just talking about this on saturday.

the mechanical part may not be hard, it's the electronics that will kill you. both the accord and the prelude have an immobilizer. the prelude is its own unit while the cl/accord are built into the ecu. this can be overcome, but it is complicated.
that is...unless you want to skip all of that and go OBD-I. but i don't know if that is possible with that chassis. don't want to give bad advice.
