hp numbers for an lsvtec will vary depending on how you build it and what you build it with.

and it uses a VTEC head from a B18 (in the Integra GSR). so you get both the low end torque and the high end horsepower. it has been known to be unrealiable.
you can use any vtec head (b16a, b18c, b17, etc.) and it is only as reliable as you build it. so if you build it half assed expect it do die half assed.
with any engine rebuild you wanna replace all the bearings and balance the bottom end if you wanna rev it high.
