i am thinkin of using a b20 block wiht Arias rods and cp 9:1 pistons i hear b20 sleeves are really thin i dont think i will have the money to sleeve it but i want to hit 400 to 450whp is a block guard worth it? or should i use a difforent block?
thanks

 

Its not going to hold unless you sleeve it. Rest of the build sounds decent though.

I would not chose a b20 for your goals.Ls or ls/vtec would be the way to go.

 

That is the setup i was going to be running. What hp numbers can i make safely using a block guard?

 

i think mine would have lasted a little longer with a block guard, made 349whp on a stock block. sleaved cracked on a cool night.

 

a buddy of mine just said he would give me a b20 block i also have a LS block so i think i will just use that with the rods and pistons and a block guard but is a block guard even worth it? i hear alot of people say that suck and some say they are good

 

how long did yours last?

 

Bullshit,anyone who tells you a b20 isnt good for boost,doesnt know what they are talking about. Trust me, I had one

 

What setup were you running? Was your b20 sleeved? Ill be running a GT35R @ 12 psi. Will my sleeves hold?

Check my sig for the page, its the same except i have a b16 head on it now. Yes it was golden eagle sleeved, and no definately get it sleeved at that level.

 

Worth it to use a block guard wiht stock sleeves? for a LS

 

I dont really get why people dont want to sleeve their blocks...

 

because i dont have the money to do it i never said i didnt want too i really want too but i have to send mine to the states so to get it done plus shipping would be alot of money

Sorry what do you mean straight LS? How long have you been running that setup with stock sleeves?
