excessive torque steer with an EF/Type R
When I really get on the gas pedal, my EF will pull strongly to one side, then to the other when I try to countersteer. I'm guessing this has something to do with the lightweight EF chassis and suspension not distributing the power from the wheels equally, causing the limited slip differential in the transmission to break loose. Now, I know that if I start bolting headers, high flow exhaust, etc. this will only exacerbate the problem. Not looking to steer myself into a wall anytime soon.
Some of you in the past have recommended a Quaife LSD to correct this problem, will this be enough? I have never heard Integra Type R owners complain about this, so this must be a quirk of the EF Type R setup.
Please help!

Yes. What you need is a 1 way LSD. A 1 way locks your wheels together under acceleration thus it would help with the torque steer you are having. Having better tires would help also.
an LSD will help but you will still have some torque steer if your putting down some good numbers
i had a homie with an EG that did the exact same thing so its not only EFs

i had this problem after doing a b16 swap in my crx, turned out when i removed the torque rod i screwed it up, whatever side it's pulling too, remove that torque rod, and take a look.
