you should just stick to what ecu matches your engine. a CTR ecu is made for a CTR, not a gsr.

yea, get a stock gsr ecu, or get a chipped ecu from phearable.net or kenji211.com for your exact setup.

Vtec is engaging too late for your b18c1 using the ctr ecu.
Other then that the fuel maps are different due to displacement/cam differences etc.
