Hey, with a built bottom end (eagle rods-endyn pistons) How much boost can stock sleeves on a B18 handle?? Thanks.

 

Jinxproof, Care to answer this?

well we've run about 375 hsp to the wheels on stock sleeves and stock pistons(b18c1). next month i will be able to tell you how much on stock sleeves and forged pistons/rods. we know of one person who pushed close to 450 with that combo. i will know personally in one month and i will post dyno and 1/4 mile times then, regardless of the outcome.

so to answer your question, a b18c1 motor will handle at least 375 to the wheels properly tuned.

you can run high boost levels with stock sleeves as long as your tuning is ok... I have built and seen many stock sleeve motors run over 25psi boost and over 525whp with stock sleeves

 

i heard they can handle up to 430 WHP before they start having some problems...

 

thanks for all of the replys. I guess that means 12-15 lbs. of boost should be o.k. then.

 

That's what I like to hear!! Whew! ::wipes brow::

I knew not sleeving my motor wasn't the end of the world.
