i would say do the b18c5 for all motor because of alot reasons. i know they cost a good penny but the itr motor has good ass internal parts for NA.
alot of guys with ITRs run NA and with only around 190-200 at the wheels they yeild some impressive times.

Basically B16A motors is great with turbos. Its performs better from what i seen.
B18C1 are good bad ass Natural aspirated. of course 20lbs more of tourqe than B16A. Both engines are 10hp difference, but i think B16A engines VTEC kick in Harder. If you go with A b16A. Which I recommend, throw in a set of CTR Cams & ITR valves & Valve springs. Them CTR Cams kicks really hard.

you can go a lot higher compression with the gsr..b16 block dont got enough oil squirters in it....also depends how you like your ride hight...you cant slamm it with a gsr cause the motor sits lower

LS-T would be my idea but your not going that far so just go with the B16 the C1 wont be worth the money if your not lookin for the fastest car just a respectable car.....If you want the fastest I think the LS-T setup is the quickest....And really torquy.....(sp)

bolt together an ls-vtec...its the best bang for the buck. But if you don't wanna do that, then get a B18C, they have more displacement and we all no "there's no replacement for displacement"

I want to drop it at leaste 3 inches....I want no wheel gap when I put on the 15" rims. The b18c1 seems like a better idea more bang for the buck. Like shinobi said I dont want the fastest car around just want something to put me in the 14's--low 14's N/A
