You need to understand the situation a little better. You have a 1.8 liter that you are wanting to switch out for a smaller, 1.6 liter with less torque. Theres no replacement for displacement.
I had a blown up, single cam that I swapped out for a fully built B16 with more power and torque then I had before. I also didn't pay much for the swap as the average person would. I got a once in a lifetime deal to trade a $500 car plus $400 cash for the entire swap and turbo kit.
If I hadn't found this deal, and had tons of cash to blow, I would have went with an built LS motor.
All I'm trying to do is help you. If you don't want help, stop posting about it in the shoutbox.

ps- I removed the "so called" part from your post so that it sounds like you know what you are talking about.
+1 SON!
