Default Help with my B16

Whats up everyone, just need to clear things up.
Im about to put together my turbo b16 first gen and i need to make sure i have everything. as fare as turbo things i got that covered,
its just these little things im not sure of.

1st off i need to make sure this lsd will work for me. cause im pretty sure the y1 tranny my engine came with is the same tranny in a acura interga 90-93 right?? im tryin to buy this lsd with it work for me?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:B:AAQ:US:1

2nd also need to replace my gaskets on the engine just wondering if it would be the same gasket set for my first gen as for a b16a2. i know a guy seeling one for a b16a2 just wondering if that would be the same set for my first gen?

3rd just need to know what spark plugs you guys would go with for this turbo set up.and if you think i need new spark plug wires aswell.

thanks everyone hope to here some good stuff

1. Not sure if the y1 was in 90-93 integras, but the lsd should work with y1 transmissions. Eh... OBX isn't total crap, but there's definitely better out there. I don't know much about limited slips though...that's just my 2 cents.
2. Those gaskets will work fine. All non OBD critical parts on a b16a2 should work with your b16a.
3. NGK iridium or Denso iridium. High quality spark plug wires are essential to a good turbo setup. Accel, Nology, and MSD make good wires.

If it were me, I would go to Rocket Motorsports and get these Spark Plugs, he modifys them and they make more power on a dyno than Iridium ones.

Just click on the RM Modified Spark Plugs, also get some REALLY good spark plug wires. How much HP will you be runing, what kind of tuning are you going to have on this car, have you changed any internals at all?

I hear of people running turbo kits on Stock B16a's all the time. Not my deal, I would change the psitons and rods.

I switched my LSD from my Y1 to my YS1, so yes it is compatible.

You're right, 10psi on a high compression b16a is gonna kill it in no time.
Best leave the boost at 6-7psi until u can lower the compression a bit. Easiest solution, thicker headgasket. Best solution,lower compression pistons.
