(it should control all the variables, like timing, boost, vtec engagement, fuel, etc.. correct?).. ok so heres where i am so far:
B18c1 in a hatch or CRX
t3/t4 turbo
built engine with engine block guard (i think this is the thing that connects to all of the mains stabilizing the block.. right?):
midrange compression pistons (with oem headgasket) so i can always change out the gasket to gain/loose a little compression. (prolly 9.5's-10's)
Pn'P on the head
mid-range cams (streetable, yet also raceable)
LS tranny
AEM EMS w/ EBC

Just some food for thought. Either way you go, a racecar project will be pricey and everything will have to be considered.

prolly, now that i plan on going turbo, might as well, right? i mean i never wanted it to be a major racer anyway, i just wanted somthing that i caould haul to the track and get pretty good times with, but with turbo i should be able to keep that goal and still keep it streetable at the same time

been there done that
if you get an aem ems there's really no need for a boost controller cause the ems can handle that. a block girdle is what you're refering to by the piece that connects the main caps together. and if you get a b18c1 you wont need one of those either. they come with them stock.
and hondata would cost about as much as an aem after buying all the parts necessary to convert to obd1.
