How much horsepower does a 1994 Acura Integra LS have?

The 1994 Acura Integra LS delivers about 140 horsepower from its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine (SAE net). This was the standard power output for the LS trim in the U.S. market, paired with a choice of transmissions and tuned for a balanced, rev-happy character rather than outright low-end torque.


Engine and power profile


To understand what that horsepower meant in practice, here are the core figures for the 1994 Integra LS.


Note: horsepower figures refer to the U.S.-market LS with the 1.8-liter engine, and torque numbers are SAE net as well.


Before listing the details, the following bullets summarize the primary horsepower-related specifications:



  • Engine: 1.8-liter inline-4 (B18B1)

  • Horsepower: 140 hp (SAE net)

  • Torque: 127 lb-ft

  • Power delivery occurs in the mid-to-high rev range

  • Transmission options commonly included a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic

  • Drive layout: front-wheel drive


In summary, the Integra LS offered a refined yet reasonably powered package for a small car in the mid-1990s, emphasizing smooth power delivery and efficiency rather than outright peak horsepower.


Context within the Integra lineup


It's worth noting that higher-performance variants in the same era—such as the GS-R—used a more powerful 1.7-liter VTEC engine producing about 170 hp, while the base LS remained at roughly 140 hp. The difference highlighted Honda/Acura's tiered approach to the Integra's performance spectrum during the early 1990s.


Summary


The 1994 Acura Integra LS has about 140 horsepower from its 1.8-liter B18B1 engine, SAE net, paired with around 127 lb-ft of torque. This positioned it as a well-rounded compact with a balanced blend of performance and practicality in its class.
