Default What EXACTLY Do I Need To Look For?

Ok, after much debate, I'm not going to do things half assed. I am going to put a hold on my turbo project until I can get a chipped ECU or a set of larger injectors to run an AFC Hack. Two things I want to ask. The first is what kind of injectors should I look for if I decide to run the hack..and if I need a resistor box, is there a specific type or are all the resistor boxes the same? I need specifics please because I want to be knowledgeable when i call around/search around for pricing. I am told injectors from the 97 prelude would plug right in because they are 5th gen and OBDII and they're a bit bigger than what I have...

Now my 2nd question is if I go chipped ECU...what exact ECU am I looking for? (E.G. a specific year or from a specific make/model car vehicle?) Should I buy a virgin ECU from an OBDI car and then buy the harness and then send it to be chipped for Chrome ETC? Or should I try to find a combo kit that will already be chipped to be shipped to my door so that I can just unplug the old one, upload a program to it and then plug my new ECU in and have it dyno tuned? If so..what should I look for then?

I know it's a lot of questions but I want to make sure I do this right the FIRST TIME so that I can have a reliable but fun car to drive in. Thanks in advance as always.

Anyone have any ideas?? I want to go the ECU route because it's more appropriate. I obviously can find an OBDIIb to OBDI harness no problem...but is there a certain year civic or other model I can pull an OBDI ECU out of?

And I appreciate your answers. Xenocron seems to have the correct ECU's and I think I'll purchase the ECU from there.
