Yes it has been done. Its the same as any other b-series swap. It just isn't as common because it was only available in the 92-93 Integra GS-Rs...

It's almost an identical motor as the b16a

i would think the swap would be the same as a b16 or b18. good luck finding one though.

cheap being the keyword. a b18c1 would be good too. dropping from the 1.7 to the 1.6 there is some torque loss.
