true, but you have to remember that something like an LS-Vtec is not one of the "weekend jobs" that you can just kinda slap together... so it makes it very very difficult for people to attempt... and yes "theres no replacement for displacement" but also u can rev higher w/ a GSR or LS than you can with a CRV (b20)... and personally i think b20 swaps are junk... .2L makes a minimal difference once u break the 200hp range
