Unsleeved with a blockguard or totally unsleeved? Once again IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE RIGHT FUEL SETUP AND TUNING. Standalone tuned ive heard people going boost crazy between 15-20psi but daily you could run 10psi. Block guard/standalone/tuned you could run 12-15 daily I would think. These #'s dont really mean anything because untill you tune it and see whats up anyone can just guess. Hope I helped some or maybe even a little

 

he is right it is really a guess. but you can always push it harder when it is tuned

 

It's somewhat tuned right now.

My last trip to the dyno made 272 whp and an a/f ratio of 11.5:1 at 14.1psi. I don't think the exhaust temprature can get high enough to start melting things running that kind of boost with that air/fuel ratio.

What do you guys think?

 

what engine are you running

 

ask jinxproof99 how much boost and horsepower he is running on stock sleeves.

 

1.8l non-vtec

-Wiseco 8.5:1 pistons .20 overbore
-Stock shotpeened rods
-ARP head studs
-Mr. Gasket three layer head gasket
-Mr. Gasket spacer intake manifold gasket
-Mr. Gasket exhaust gasket
-255lph Walbro fuel pump
-RC 310cc injectors
-Vortech FMU running 12:1 disc

I'm currently pushing 14lbs of boost.

 

I have gone 24 psi with block fill from 1/2way up cylinder and blockguard on top of that. rings on Arias pistons went before the sleeves. Sleeves were still good at 500+hp at wheels.

I plan on taking the safe route and using Darton sleeves.

 

good choice, thats what i did.

 

i run 23-24 lbs on a t4. forged pistons/rods/stock sleeves. dynoed 450 to the wheels and went 10.82 in a full interior hatchback. stock motors can take a beating if the tuning is right.

 

What motor are you running? And what are you using to tune it?

 

Karl didnt Stan have stock sleeves on his car? I am using the benson sleeves and love them

 

hes running a gsr motor with a haltech e6k, and i would definately have to agree with karl that the key to keeping the sleeves intact is tuning.

The sleeves and everything else

 

i had stock sleeves with stock pistons and rods last year. stan did too. i went 11.38 and stan went 11.27. this year kevin(quality tire) has a completely stock bottom end and ran 11.30's last week.
