if you mean a poor mans Type R, thats when you take a GSR bottom end and put a B16 head on it.
A Type-R engine is almost a GSR bottom end with a B16 head, but it uses different pistons in the bottom end and a slightly different crank (same stroke as the GSR). The Type-R head is a b16 head thats been "ported", has better valve springs and valves, better cams, better intake manifold and throttle body compared to the b16 head.

b18b1 is a very reliable engine... its when u get a b16 head for vtec that ive heard bad stories.
BUT Turboed b18b1 with a b16 head is awesome! and fairly cheap.
As for power, ask Milano SIR how he enjoyed his ride in my car and how he liked the power output. :P

^ so are you suggesting a build with a b18b, and placing a b16 head on it? :P i have an chance to get my hands on a 95 SI with a rebuild head, debating doing that or sticking with the b18 head

oh and for cheap build i would suggest soapbox...

Anyways...if reliability is the highest priority here when making the extra power, than I have to agree that the best bang for buck is a stock B18b boosted with a very good tune.
You will make more power from say a boosted GSR, but look at how cheap b18b's are. Bang for buck y0.

You realize that makes no sense? Regardless of the reason why you do it, putting a B16 head on a B18b bottom end is the same ****. So, how would putting a B16 head on a B18b bottom end and boosting it be more reliable than just putting making in N/A?

BUT, you said you've heard bad stories of B18b's with a B16 head (LS-VTEC)...but than you go on to say a boosted B18b with a B16 head is awesome...so what im saying is, how does that make any sense, since the only difference than would be the turbo?
A Turbocharged LS-VTEC setup in NO WAY is more reliable than an N/A LS-VTEC...everything else being equal.
