Default Civic Ls motor swap
Quick random question guys. A civic hatch with a LS motor is putting down what kind of horsepower. I met a guy with it and I'm not fully familiar with it. He said its stock LS motor.

From what i remember, they had "325hp" but I'm sure most will say that it's underrated.

That kinda motor in a light car like that will be a beast.

stock b18b = 140hp to the crank. Those motors are more or less only good for boost.

The vtech b18 has 160hp to crank. The b16 has 140hp. H22-195hp, K20-205hp. They love boost and thats about it. Wrong Wheel Drive not FTW.

when he said LS I thought he meant like a chevy ls1 swapped into it (rare but heard of it done before).

Next time I will think before I post!
