not much at all 100-105hp....maybe
*edit - best way to to tell is a dyno run, but that would be pretty worthless in your case.

you car can either be a d15b7 ( DX ), d15z1 ( VX ), or a d15b? piece of crap CX. and if its a DX model then most likely puttin down somewhere in the 90s

Re: (s10sdontfly)
um it might say it on the rear hatch, or on the inside of the door, or look for the engine code on the block.
edit: not on the rear hatch since u said it has no marks

Re: (s10sdontfly)
If it has side moldings its a DX. If it has none, its a CX or VX.
(If no moldings)
If its got 13" steel wheels, its a CX
If its got 13" 7 (?) spoke wheels (as in, NOT steelies) its a VX
If its a CX it has 70hp
If its a VX it has about 105 (i think)

ok...if you know its 1.5 liter its not a si becuase theyre 1.6, if it has side moldings its not a cx (although they were optional it may have side moldings most likely not) so its either a dx or vx...if it has steelies/hubcaps its a dx if it has 13" 8 spoke (i think) silver wheels than its a vx...problem solved!

Go look at your motor. In front of the block, you'll see a stamp next to the header shield. It'll say D15xx where xx could equal Z1, B7 or B8. Look for it. If it says D16Z6, you have a potential 1.6 SOHC VTEC motor. All other motors are pretty useless.

Then you have a B18B motor in it. You have either 145hp 127tq for the JDM model or 142hp 127tq for the US model. To the wheels, maybe 110-120ish and 100-110 tq. It's a DOHC non-VTEC motor. LOVES to see boost. Go on the Forced Induction forum and check how much power a turbo B18B can make. Well over 350whp EASILY due to the fact that it's low compression.

If it's a hatch with an LS swap it shouldn't be fast but definitely not slow
