as i understand any H-series trans should work fine. i don't know which would have come from the factory with LSD.

i don't think an F2B apapter would do you much good in an accord chassis. that's kinda working backwards, more complicated instead of less complicated.

M2B4 LSD, H23, and T2T4(F20B) LSD trans will all do by using your stock accord tranny mount.

i forgot you were boosted... i'm thinking if you can find an LSD to fit the stock trans. you'll be good. you've got a relatively low redline and a torquey motor, long gears are what you want. well, assuming this is a daily driver and not a dedicated strip car...
