Default need advice on tunable ECU or piggyback for 97 JDM Accord

Hi everyone,

Situation is this.. My right hand drive, CD4 JDM accord came with the F20B2 SOHC non-vtec engine..

At this point, i have done the I/H/E and am enjoying the gains, so I purchased a Bisimoto custom level 1.5cam and cam gear and want to get it installed then dyno tuned. Only problem is, I don't know what would be the best purchase for tuning it..

My vehicle came stock as OBD II so considering here are the options as I see it

1. Piggyback system..

I have read up on a few, and the advantages and disadvantages of this route..
What would be a reccomended piggyback considering I am not currently planning to boost and don't have vtec..
Overall it seems the cons outweight the benefits when compared to a OBDI ECU s

2. OBDII to OBDI conversion

What ECU would be the best to purchase for this? Also, where can I purchase a pre-chipped ECU vs doing the chipping myself...

What is the cost of both of those options and what product is recommended? I constantly hear reference of Hondata and their S100 unit seems right in my pricerange..
All recommendations will be appreciated though..

Thanks in advance
