Default How much HP does an LS-Vtec hybrid put out?

I'm about mid-way through swapping in an LS-Vtec hybrid into my 89 civic 4door. I'm getting conflicting reports as to how much HP & torque it puts out. I have a B18a block, and a B16a Head. So...about how much HP and Torque does in generate? Any help will be much appreciated.

No need to be an a$$wipe. I know the general area, Just trying to get more precise info. I'm assuming around 130-140 at the wheels. I'm just trying to get some confirmation.

yes thats about right from what i hear, they have some crazy low CR like 8:1 or something. get some b16 pistons to boost it up a lot i think.

160-165 hp to the wheels, 134 ft/lbs torque at 7500 rpms on a LS/VTEC CRX w/YS1 GSR tranny, DC 4-2-1 header, 2.25" restrictive exhaust, and stock PR3 ECU. Stock B16 head, stock LS block. Dyno'd my CRX back in 1998 and got those numbers. There was an EF hatch there the same day.... CTR pistons and CTR cams pulling 189-191 hp to the wheels.

Everyone's setup is going to be different, but my "baseline" runs with "basic bolt ons" should help out. The tranny had a lot to do with the torque/hp as it was the same as Type R gearing (best cable tranny to use )
