potential isn't the right word....

gsr or nonvtec b20??? go gsr it's more expensive out the gate but if your asking this question you haven't price out the vtec conversion (with tranny)....

you can always sleeve the 1.8 to a 2.0 if you really want to

i have 2 ls/vtecs (one b18 and one b20) believe me it's much easier and cheaper to build the vtec motor...

i should have worded my question better. i just want to know what would be better a gsr or a crv vtec? and would the crv vtec be cheaper?

id go with the crv tec,ive got a 84mm lsvtec. hybrid motors have a bad rep because of the wanna be mechanics. ive seen three attempts fail and the fourth was done by my friend with the same parts except head gasket...............now it runs hard. the gsr crank girdle has alot of piece a mind though, when you go past 9500
