Yep, common setup, referred to as "LSVTEC"
You'd need the ECU, there's some machining work to tap the oil line into the block for VTEC operation. There's a kit from Golden Eagle you can buy to get all the neccessary hardware.
Do a search, it's been covered in detail on the board many a time.

Yes, it's been covered a lot so you should be able to find a lot of info if you search. LS-VTEC using a GSR head is said to be just like a b18c with more torque.
