ive got an 97 civic hatchback.
ive been thinking about buying a b20b block , and then a b18b gsr head to put on the block, im gonna try to make it an all aftermarket engine with turbo, i would like it to be vtech,would this fit my car?

would a b16 head be better on it than a b18 or not?

The GS-R engine is the b18c, not the b18b. Do a search on CRVTEC (or crv/vtec).

i have a b20z that is sleeved w/ a b18c5 head for vtec, it works out quite nicely

It is in a 89 civic hatch SI. I do not know the exact horse, i THINK its about 218 to the wheels when i was getting everything tuned and timed. Keep in mind, i have a new cam, pistons, and rods along with intake
