b20/vtec and lsvtec are the same exact process nothing is different other than the cylinder bore so go with b20 if you have the money.

Alright if going N/A. Your b20 should have some eagle rods and a forged piston with compression of your choice(11-11.5:1 is always good and safe on 93 octane)
you have a gsr head right? just purchase some R cams and tune them and your good to go. You will have a very powerful and safe street engine. It's always a good choice to use the vtec water pump...and the b20 already has the same oil pump as a b16, but your gsr pump will be a little better. Also maybe you will want to swap teh gsr block girdle and replace bearings with brand new ones for a piece of mind.

any other questions IM me.
