Default Worth doing a b18c(type r) engine swap?

This summer im going to swap the engine in my DA. I figure ill be happy with around 200hp for a daily driver. Now im trying to decide whether or not to buy a type r engine or modify a GSR engine.
Now my question is...
If i was to buy a GSR motor and modify it to reach around 200hp am I going to spend about the same as just buying a typeR engine and leaving it basiclly as is?...thanks

200whp is going to cost you $ if you are going all motor (i am talking cost of motor + modifications in order to reach 200whp)

personally, my vote would be going towards boosting an LS motor.

actually, here is a decent link you may be able to get some info from:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1171882

also, try searching "GSR TYPE" in an archived search in the integra forum, there are a lot of results, but i am sure if you look through hard enough you will be able to find some very similar threads you could get answers from.
