Scratches head.

I don't *think* there was ever a 185hp 3rd gen lude. 90-91 pre-dates their VTEC system even in Japan. I can't really see them producing that much hp out of that engine without it. Where did you see this?

 

i have looked all over the block and can't find anything.. Where is it stamped

 

usually to the left of the headers looking down at the engine
