My current build and some questions.
Alright here's my current build and setup:
CURRENTLY INSIDE CAR:
Stock USDM B16A2
AEM Cold air intake
P28 Ecu chipped by John Vega(Phearable.net)
CURRENT PROJECT:
B18C1 Bare Block
JDM B16A P30 Pistons
Brand new LS rods/rings
ARP bolts
MY QUESTIONS:
Was wondering if this setup will work if I use my stock B16 head and if a LS crankshaft and LS rods will work on the GSR block. Also I would appreciate any opinions to help me out. Thanks in advance.

Yes your setup will work. Many guys run the 89mm LS/B20 crank and rods in vtec (gsr) blocks with great results!
Setup sounds like a good starting point. The extra strength and lubrication of the gsr block is never a bad thing.
I would look into possibly a ported head before you finish building it.The block will be built so all that is left is your head. If your head is already P+P'd, everything else will be easy as it will be more of a "bolt on".
Of course to truly exploit the engines potential, you will need bigger than stock cams and the valvetrain that goes with it.
Good luck with your build!

Great. Thanks for the information guys. Right now I'm on a budget, so a port and polish isn't an option and I'm thinking of getting a port and polish done when I get a set of CTR cams and an ITR valvetrain. Again thanks, you guys rock.
