Still not worth it though unless you get a thuper deal on teh engine.

yeah, I agree that on the highway the b16b would out accelerate the b18b if in the same car. However, the complete lack of torque mated with an even heavier body just makes for a completely unwise decision to mate it with an integra shell.
