Some do yeah. I think i might just do body work and re-primer mine. Since it's warmer and the weather will permit it to stick better.

. Just when it was cold I was tired of looking at that haggard ass white primer that was on it. So I said forget it and rattle can'd it. I might do Primer Grey till i get a paint job. Iono

Re: Poor-Man Setup
the gsr is a way better bottom end than the ls. not to mention no one ever puts the vtec oil pump on the ls when they do the vtec conversion.. bad juju just waiting to happen there. b16 head has the smallest combustion chambers therefore the highest compression of al lthe honda heads. since a type r is just a b16 with a lil blending and some spiffy valves the regular b16 head is often the way to go.
ive put together some super low budget lsvtec with b16 head, 12 to 1 pistons and made a tick over 180 at the wheels. no tuning, just stock ecu and what not. far from ideal.. but its a raw bitch in a crix.
just remember if you use an sir1 head that the valve springs are at least 10-15 years old and may not take kindly to ridiculous redline.

Re: Poor-Man Setup
on the subject of primer.... dont ever rattle can your car. cause if you ever want to paint it you have to sand ALL that lauqer shit off{and there not water proof so the metal will still rust under the primer}. what a nightmare. go to the paint store, get some epoxy primer and spray it on. you can have them tint it whatever color you want, therefore you dont have to rock a baby shit tan car till you get it painted. not to mention satin colors are fucking sick.
for you guys with no compressor the paint store can mix the paint {in this case primer} and put it in a rattle can for you so you can still piss can it, but at least the metal will be protected.

Re: Poor-Man Setup
You could also buy a gsr block and get an ls crank/rods/ctr pistons if you want to go n/a so you dont have to run the extra oil line from the block just an idea though
