Re: 1996 Honda Accord lx Turbo
You should just get your car tuned with software and ditch the piggyback. It's going to use the input from those sensors to increase fuel, but then you're going to end up with huge timing issues and everything's going to go boom. Go to a tuner.
You can skip on the LSD if you're short on cash and put that towards a tune. What kind of power are you looking to make? I was going to say go with a t3/t04e 57 trim until I saw you had some beefy engine mods planned. Ask your tuner once you find him.

Are u saying that i can just get the factory computer(OBD II) tuned and be done with it?

If you need to stay OBD2 then the AEM FIC could work. I've never worked with it myself but it will allow you to stay OBD2. Any of the other tuning EMS would require a chipped OBD1 ECU and an adapter harness. The tuning/chipping options for our OBD2 Accord ECU's is extremely limited.

Ah, then as you were told, the AEM FI/C is going to be your best bet.
As Ghost mentioned, your ability to tune is going to be limited compared to a "proper" OBD-I conversion w/ a standalone.
However, unless you enjoy swapping back to a passable OBD-II setup every time you are called in for emissions it's really the best choice.

I can tell from the part number that they are Ferrea without even going to that website. I have a set of F1901P that I am going to be using. They look pretty sweet, other than that I don't have any personal experience with them as of yet. However I have heard nothing but good things about them and their products.

Re: 1996 Honda Accord lx Turbo
What gasket holds up to boost better: cooper or mls? I heard that coper would be better but don't know for sure. Hussey performance cooper gaskets makes to order, which will allow me to order to what ever spec i need as far a bore and thickness.
