I had a crx w/ b18c1 block, b16a head, and usdm ITR pistons stock bore. It was in a Si crx. The car was fast, but know I have a 91 si Hatchback w/ a type r. I would definetly do the R swap. It gives u a nice broad powerband with good top end power. The R in my civic is a lot faster than the the b18c1.
