im working on a turbo kit for a 96 civic ex (d16y8 w/ obd2 ecu). i have most of the parts i think i'll need, i just need some advise on what else i need to get, and finally how to tune my ecu. the block is stock, with a p&p head, and im gonna put a crower turbo cam w/ their springs in it. im going with the turbonetics hybrid t3t4. i have pretty much everything that comes with a typical turbo kit. i also have a 12:1 fmu. if i use this, what injectors should i use? what will i need to do or buy to get my car tuned? people have recommended that i get an obd1 ecu and get it chipped. i can get an ecu chipped by jet for free, so id like to utilize that if i can. i really have no idea what to do, but i want to make sure the result of this project is a fast reliable economy car, not just a waste of a lot of money. i'll take any advise i can get.

Ditch the FMU. Get an OBD2A->OBD1 conversion harness with a chipped OBD1 ECU. Have it tuned with something of the likes of Uberdata or Crome. If you have the money, Hondata is a nice option as well. Although for nearly free, you use Crome which does about everything Hondata does.

i agree ditch the fmu and go ubber or chrome. throw in some DSM 450cc injectors and get a good tune

with the obd1 ecu, what will i need to do in order to use the 450cc/min dsm injectors?

PGMFI.org will have all the info you need on the rom editors and basics on how to tune.

To run DSM 450s you'll need a resistor box and Rom Editor to control it. Don't waste your time with the Jet crap.
