Just to get the ball rolling.
You will need:
vtec pistons- valve reliefs on the ls pistons are not wide or deep enough also they are low comp.
vtec oil pump-out of b16a gsr or type R since your car is obd2 get a brand new type R one..about $150
Arp rod bolts- in the catalog the bolts listed for 1.8l engines are the 9mm rod bolts. On my b18a1 I had to use the 8mm ones. Ive heard that the b18b uses 9mm but Ive never checked myself. After installing the rod bolts have a machine shop resize the rods.
Ls head gasket.
water pump- you can use either an ls or a vtec pump but you have to match the t-belt to the pump you use. note: if you use a vtec water pump use gsr t-belt.
You can use any dohc vtec head.
Ecu-it would be a good idea to match the ecu to the head you are using. You will also need a knock sensor and that has to be tapped into the back of the block.
Optional:
Balance the rotating assembly- good idea if you plan to rev past 8k rpms.
DOHC vtec tranny- geared alot tighter than an ls.
I know I probably left some stuff out but this should get you started.
