im going to be boring my b16 to 83mm and i plan on turbo in the future, and i am just not sure if should get it sleeved or not. what would you recomend, my goal is to have atleast 400whp in the end. im not sure if that helps but i thought i would say that just incase it makes a differnce.

 

plz advice?

 

on a b16, i wouldn't recommend boring your stock sleeves to 83mm. The walls will be too thin and crack under pressure, especially if you're expecting to push 400whp.

 

ok. so get it resleeved? or will that not make a differnce

 

just don't bore it to 83mm. I would just bore it to 81.5mm. Good set of pistons and rods, with a good setup even on the stock head you should be able to hit over 400whp if you push enough boost thru it.

 

ya, i baught pistons that are 83mm they were listed as b16 81mm pistons on ebay baught em for 270 nib and was surprised when they came then to my surprise his ebay account was deleted./

 

so bad idea to keep em and boost with them..

is that even possible??? The only way to EVER put 83mm pistons in your B series w/ boost is through aftermarket sleeving...although i'm sure that's been said already

 

I might be wrong but I think few people done it on all motor setups. I wouldn't go past 81.5, some people do 82mm on stock sleeves but they can crank even without any type of forced induction.

 

alright. i guess they are going up for sale :-/
my luck... :-(

maybe ill just buy another block and throw these in this while building the other.... idk if its worth it though. hmm
