B20VTEC will make more power. B18c1 would probably be easier if this is your first swap. To do a B20VTEC, you have to drill and tap holes.

Dont mess around. Get the US motor so you are smog compliant. That will help resale

If you're looking for a reliable drop in, just go with the gsr. Unless you have the funds to tune a b20v.
