i have another block but its a 82mm 11.1cr with stock sleeves not going to chance that maybe send this block out to be re sleeved

Re: good bye cylinder 3
yea the fuel out here is garbage and theirs no way of getting e85 maybe high compression low boost just need to run race gas all the time.

Re: good bye cylinder 3
60-1 11 psi street tune very conservative to avoid the above...im guessing 270-300...engine was a stock 250k mile gsr long block...the last thing i expected to go was the sleeves..i was faster by a few cars than my friends 13.2 second turbo d16 on eg...so im guessing i was doing mid to high 12s...never made it to the track befor it blew..

Re: good bye cylinder 3
****, I don't like hearing that. I have crappy California 91 octane. At least I picked up the Silver Surfer to cope with the gas I'll be getting

No, those are 2 different turbos. This one is more similiar to a s256, but it incorporates BW & Garret products. It's made by TheShodan on this board. I lived out in Pahoa & never saw anyone with a fixed up Honda on the big island

Re: good bye cylinder 3
yeah you can make that but at that compression on 92 there is no room for any detonation. So get a bad patch of gas and your f'ed. The # 3 cylinder in this pick is from the tune and not cause of stock sleeves. Any pump gas is 93 or below is so unpredictable.

Re: good bye cylinder 3
i blew a much bigger hole than that in a #3 stock sleeve making less than 400hp (boost creep is a biotch).
since then ive run sleeved blocks and had a few incidents that most defiately would have toasted stock sleeves, but i wound up with just blown headgaskets instead.
