I'm on koni/gc... I was on the OTS koni and 500lb ground controls. I sold them on the CHEAP to get my hands on a set of koni race shocks.
B18B1 and B18B... the B18B is the "newer" version with slightly better cams (worth 5hp or so... but you have them) and some updates to the intake manifold/sensors.
Koni/GC, ASR rear brace (or the Comptech is the JDM pimp stuff) with an ITR rear bar, take the front bar off your car (after shocks/springs), some good 200 TW tires, some hawk/stoptech street/strip pads, and super blue.... done!
If I had the budget I would go K series... but you have a native b series car, so all the money you would spend on harnesses, mounts, fuel return, AC/PS, etc... you can just put into the B series engine and trans.
I'm going with the GSR because of rules. If I were just building a street car I'd piece together some "poor mans" ITR (GSR block with an ITR/B16 head)... BUT it requires building the bottom end. The GSR is a lighter crank, but it needs to be balanced... and you want ARP to spin where the ITR/B16 head will make power. The GSR will be the cheapest stock engine to make 200hp... but you are going to need to work it over to make it reliable....
that being said, I have put down 160-170hp/130-140ftlbs with a B20 block/head... Honda Challenge H2 spec built head on a stock block.
Be ready to get rid of your trans when you swap the motor. the LS/RS trans is terrible for having fun... you want at least a GSR... but the ITR/B16 is best.
