B16 in a 2nd gen LS Integra
This has been bothering me for a while. Why would you do it? Yes I know that the B16 is going to have more HP than the B18, but less torque. Why not spend money on a vtec head, internals, or a turbo set-up for the B18? I just do not understand why people do it?

Built LS > B16
Turbo LS > B16

I don't know how much B16 swaps are going for, but I have a friend that just mildy built his LS and it's pretty quick and he probably spent less than a B16 swap would've cost.
