DO NOT DO THIS IN A HOME GARAGE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BLOW YOU, THE HOUSE, AND THE NEIGHBORS INTO ORBIT. TELL EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY WHILE YOU'RE WORKING. Get a slingshot and some rocks to shoot at smokers, kids, and other annoyances who get too close. READ ALL BEFORE BEGINNING WORK. Do this in the driveway on a slightly windy day to keep gasoline from pooling. Get a Class B fire extinguisher before you start. Don't hit anything with metal objects. If you must impact something to get it loose, use a rubber mallet and be careful. Get about 10 good rags in case of a fuel spill. Don't use fans because the electrical motors have tiny sparks that are generated as the fan motor gets it's electricity to spin the fan blade. Don't use an electrical drop light. Put on goggles unless you don't want your eyes anymore. DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY. Relieve the fuel pressure by loosening the 6mm service bolt (smaller one of the two) on top of the fuel filter (rear of engine compartment). The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. In the trunk, look in front of the spare tire well. Take off (carefully pry up) the LEFT metal access cover from the floor of the trunk. Remove the electrical connector and disconnect the two fuel lines. Remove the fuel pump mounting bolts (hard to see). Pull the fuel pump up and out. NOTE: If the fuel pump hits the trunk as you try to pull it out, and you can't remove it, you'll have to LOOSEN the straps on the tank, lowering it a bit, so you can wiggle the pump out. Install is reverse of removal. IF YOUR VEHICLE YEAR IS '87, THEN THE PUMP IS EXTERNAL.

The answer is no. The fuel-injected engine from your 1987 Accord is a direct-fit into a 1985-1987 Prelude Si, but will not fit into a 1988 or newer Prelude due to a completely different engine and transmission being used. The wiring harnesses and ECU will also be very different.
