I'm just talking about a normal B20B, no VTEC head swaps, but that still holds very true. Unfortunately, that transaxle never came with an LSD so one would have to be added. If only the G2 GS-R had a stock LSD.

b20b bottom end with a b20z head? is that it?
B20B or B20Z, the complete engine. Take your pick, but the JDM B20B and USDM B20Z have a higher stock compression ratio then the USDM B20B. The heads are identical. I just say "B18A/B" and "B20B/Z" to save the time of typing out B18A, B18B, B20B, and B20Z.
with a 92-93 ys1 lsd tranny and a 90-91 pr4 ecu (programmed by anyone or leave it?) and a 90-91 b18a intake.
what am looking at as far as price for all of that?
That transaxle will rape you in excess of $500 if you can find one (it must be from a 92-93 GS-R, all 90-93's were marked YS1,) plus $400some for an aftermarket LSD. If you want to sacrifice the YS1's first gear, most B16A transaxles are geared pretty much the same and cost a lot less. A standard B16A transaxle runs around $200ish, and one wth a stock LSD is usually a couple hundred more.
The ECU will run around $50-100, do not chip it! A complete intake manifold (with throttle body, injectors, fuel rail, sensors) will run around $100.
You will still need mounts, a shift linkage, axles, an OBD-0 distributor from a 90-91 Integra, and a few other bits and peices. Keep a spare $200 at least for things that go wrong and need to be replaced.
