I have an LS swapped eg hatch, it isn't super fast or anything but it is definately a nice little town car, plenty of torque for the chassis. I'm not into bragging about hp numbers or drag strip times though, I don't care how much horsepower it makes. I give this swap a thumb and a half up.

150 whp is defiantly do able. right not i am at 160 whp but i have alot of work on it thought like stage 3 race cams and over size high compression srp piston and N/A rods and a custom tuned ecu. also im running that in a 98 civic 4dr and it already feels pretty good because im still running an ls with a stock civic exhaust (1.5 inch inner diam) and 18 inch wheels . i bet if it was in a couple or hatch it would be pretty fast for all motor.

the LS motor has a lot of potential. good torque.

It shouldn't be difficult, its in almost every single Integra you can find. Go to the junkyard or something.

yeah man the LS is a great engine, responds well to mods and makes for a fun ride.
There's a guy on here, B19Coupe, he's done some good stuff with both the LS and B20's. He made somewhere in the neighborhood of 170 at the hubs and 150 some ft lbs, on a 190,000 mile LS stock bottomend, fully tuned.

Here is a link to his build up.

Lots of people overlook the LS due to a lack of vtec, which would be because of a lack on knowledge.
