eh, the b16 pistons would not be legal.
and I think the idea of an ls/vtec would really be stretching the rules.
is the ITR in the same class?
If so I would consider ITR pistons and cams in a gsr motor, you will get decent gains from the bump in compression and cams.

I don't think itr's are in the same class. I haven't looked at a rule book in a while. I think a straight up gsr would be your best bet.

US ITR pistons do make a decent difference in a GSR motor.
I know of a certain 4DR Teg that runs mid to low 14's with just those mods and a cat back exhaust.

IIRC for Street Prepared you have to swap over the entire GS-R engine to be legal in CSP. once you mix & match parts from different trims i think it puts you into prepared/modified.
(you can swap an engine, as long as the engine is available in another trim of the same car.. IE, you can put a CRX Si engine in a DX or HF chassis).
in that case you may be more competitive by just going straight-up B18C1.
