Your thinking of doing the same swap I got. It's also known as an LS VTEC (B18 bottom with B16 head.) It's fast and It's only as reliable as you make it.

I wouldn't reply to this if it wasn't as new as it is, but whatever. Do a search on LS/VTEC and you will find loads of into.

The LS and GSR block are NOT the same. The GSR has a girdle and oil quirters to allow the engine to rev higher reliably and not spin a bearing. The B16 head flows better. Do your research if you're looking into turbo or doing this build. You are putting parts together that do not belong together. At least start with just the LS/VTEC. It should make about the same power as a B18C1, and they pull pretty well with a GSR tranny.
