Default Engine Swap Options

i am new to moddin hondas so i probally have a pretty easy question to asnwer. i have a 96 del sol with a b16a1 in it and i am planning on doing an engine swap to either of the vtec integra engines. now i guess my question is, is it better to start off with the type r engine and then add in after market stuff, or would it be cheaper and basically give me the same power if i used a gsr engine and then added after market stuff?

Type R.

Everything on that you replace will sell well.

why get rid of the b16? you already have a good motor, and a car that is kind of rare these days. for the cost it would be to swap a gsr or type r motor you could've gotten a sick *** turbo set up.
