Don't go with the b17. I have seen gsr's and I have seen b17 swaps, they are rare and kinda expensive. Lowest b17 swap I have seen was 2700 and gsr's are ever harder to find in good, not beaten the ******* crap out of, good condition.
Since you have a 1990, like me, your car is obd0. There are jdm b16a swaps of that year available for short money. Also think about a b18c swap. More money but they are stong as hell motors.
One more thing to think about is ls/vtec. b16 heads are everywhere and the rest of the parts can be had for short money comparitivly. Although if you want this build, do it right or have a blown motor. Seriously.
good luck.

Go for the integra xsi swap which is the OBD0 b16 motor and those were in all the honda integras of your cars generation, and if you wanted a interesting idea, get the OBD0 b16 and try to find a GSR crank and rods and some P30 psitons(or use the ones from the motor), all of those parts could be had for alot less than the cost of finding a good B17A motor and you will have a faster car with the forementioned parts. Good luck.

B17's are rare and expensive. Unless you really want the bling factor of having a b17 getting a b18c or a b16a are better bets.
