Cheapest Sleeves
It is actually a question for a N/A motor, but I figured you guys would have more info. I am looking for the cheapest sleeves for a B-series which can handle an 85mm bore. Or even a list comparing the prices. This motor will NEVER see boost or N20, but I want it to handle 9000rpms. Compression will only be around 11.5:1-12:1. These are for a B18A, but I will have a Block girdle (from a GSR). I know you get what you pay for, but a friend told me (when I mentioned I was going to use darton sleeves) that there are sleeves that are WAY cheaper. This is not a race car, it is my daily driver and most of the time it will only see 4000rpms or less.
TIA
TIA

Re: Cheapest Sleeves (Twenty36_1)
I dont believe there are such thing as a "cheaper sleeves". All the sleeves out there are made to perform to the highest possible situation.
We just released our Exospeed Sleeves recently and are at $290 for the set. They do require installation by an experienced machine shop. But overall, its best to just go with the sleeving service all at the same time. lets say if you go through us, the sleeving service is about $880 and includes the sleeves and all the machining. its up to you.

Re: Cheapest Sleeves (exospeedAMcrx)
if its a daily driver, why the need to go 85mm?? just get 81.5mm Endyn 12.5:1 pistons and they will yield similar HP mod for mod. we have run up to 13:1 on these pistons using 91octane pump gas. on 110octane we also run a 125shot without a proplem.
if you stay close to stock bore, there are straight repair sleeves which are much thicker than stock. it cost us $650 to have them installed vs $800+.
now the other factor is that you don't really need aftermarket sleeves with the application you discribed. the motor i discribed above runs stock sleeves.
now if cylinder walking is your concern. a block guard can help that.

if we tore down the block, resleeved and in stalled new stuff. its pretty much a new fresh rebuild. look on our website on prices on the diff stages of race blocks.
