I'm familiar with the engines: The 2.0Si had a B20A5, 135HP 1958cc, whereas the "Si" had a B21A1, 140HP 2056cc. The 1990-91 "Si" had two different "Special Edition" models: ALB and 4WS. Mine is the ALB. I can pop the hood and see the anti-lock brake module sitting behind the battery to the left of the distributor cap. Of course, I've also put it to the test once. The ALB kept me from having a nasty accident... I originally had the B21A1 in my car; but as I mentioned, I replaced it with a JDM B20A due to extreme oil comsumption.
You are correct that there were far more 2.0Si's manufactured. The 1990-91 ALB and 4WS models are hard to find... I felt lucky when I found this one...that is until I realized how much oil the B21A1 drank.

I suspect most of those "Prelude SI" are the 2.0SI models,they were much more common. ISTR that the 140HP motor was an all-aluminum motor,no iron cylinder liners.
I don't recall the 90 SI as having anti-lock brakes,though.

I have a 1990 Prelude Si ALB with a JDM B20A engine in it. (Engine is not the original, of course) My ECU is a PK3, which is the original ECU from the factory, and the car runs fine. I've noticed that most 89-91 Prelude Si's have a PK2. Does anyone know the difference between the two types?
Thanks!
Jon
