Either way, have you considered gear/transmission swaps?
There are taller B-series gears that will fit in the B16's YS1 case easily, including longer final drive sets and a taller 5th gear from non-Vtec Integras.
There are also (obviously) a plethora of great gear swaps that could be performed on the D-series transmissions as well.

Thanks for the input, i've read alot in these forums and i see that you've always helped and pitched in with the honda owners.
I've got a B18C1 integra GSR motor DOHC VTEC (from my old ricer days). I spent too much money buying the motor, not gonna swap it out any time soon. Its like buying a 50" LCD tv, only to swap it out for your old 19"crt just so you can save electricity. C'mon, who does that?
All kidding aside, I know i could swap out for an LS tranny with the taller gears.... but im not THAT hardcore into FE. So i dont plan on doing anything mechanically major, just little bits here and there that i can do to increase FE while keeping things moderately priced
My ultimate goal with the car now is to keep a balance between "fun-when-i-want-to-be" and while getting decent/above average mpg's.
