I'm building a poor man's type r right now, and the best info I can give you is to DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. When you think this stuff out in your head it seems easy...
"all I need is a b16 head, and a gsr block!"
Then you really get down to business, you gotta get the head check and possibly surfaced. While it's out you might as well replace the valve seals, then the blcok has to be honed and or bored. They since it's bare, you gotta get new main & rod bearings, pistons, rings, rods, rod bolts.
AFTER ALL THIS, you can use the same head studs, so you go with arp... Then you find out about how much power you'll be putting down so you get larger injectors, fuel pressure regulator, type r oil pump, and fuel pump. After all that, you still might as well get new axels. After you've checked and double checked all the things that could possibly be needed, you've got to break it in lke a brand new motor, so that means changing the oil atleast 3 times before 1000 miles. Plus you;ve got to get it tuned.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, BE PATIENT!
good luck. hit me up and maybe we can help each other out.
