Yeah I know the 92-93 GS-R had the B17a stock, but if someone says it has a "new v-tech [sic] engine" then it's probably a b16a since, like MrFatBooty said, a decent B17a is scarce and the B16a is definitely not. That and the fact that the selling price is like $4000. So I've heard that the B17a is stronger than the B16a, and from the impression I get, it's not a small difference. Hence how people bash the B16 constantly and worship the g2 GS-R. I'm not contesting this at all, but if the GS-R I saw has a B16 instead of the B17, is it going to be as slow as an LS?
