Is a built (not sleeved) 8.5cr b16 block be more reliable for a daily driver?
I am about to buy a built block:
eagle rods
wiseco pistons 8.5cr
knife edged stock crank
z10 block guard
stock sleeves with stock diameter, minimum overbore .5mm or .05 (I think)
balanced, blueprinted
QUESTIONS:
For a daily driver, will this block be OK with a gt28rs turbo at 10-14psi, taken to 9000rpm (assuming I upgrade entire valvetrain and CTR cams, hondata s300)?
Are my above goals too steep for this shortblock described above? What are my challenges?
What are some ballpark numbers with this block and gt28rs 10-14psi?
Any thoughts are appreciated
Thanks

Man U FTW
if the block is built, crank that turbo out until it starts becoming inefficient and run at that power if you can find gas to support it w/o detonation. The built block is stronger than what a GT28rs can put out
