Yeah it'll go into a B. I think a complication is the ECU. You'll probably need a stand alone system!

190bhp iirc, the conversion will cost thousands though! Is that worth it!?

Yeah mate, I was thinking WTF as he was right up my arse

On topic, they are 193bhp as standard, and it's about as cost effective as a LET really if you think about it:

The amount it would cost you to buy a GOOD let, or rebuild a tired one, would be the amount it would take to buy the VXR engine. Plus, it'll go in on standard mounts

Nah Warren is doing a small block Z18xe which he'll be running a Gotech aftermarket ECU

As long as you use after market manaement it should be reletively stright forwards. There will be other items which may need uprating such as converting the clutch to hydrolic etc

For the VXR engine to run on the standard ECU you need to have the standard stereo and clocks

Its surely an easier and less time consuming option than playing around with fly by wiring?

Not really, you would be best to adapt what you have before thinking about anything else. can-bus and fly doesnt stop you, they are the minor part's of the conversion tbh
