hi guys im from the united kingdom and im doing a b18c4 turbo build in a ej9 hatch but the problem is no one over here can sleeve the blocks so i was wondering what horsepower and psi i can run safely and reliably.this will not be a daily driver only a weekend car.the setup is as follows:

wiseco low compression pistons
carillo steel rods
acl bearings
cometic low compression head gasket
arp rod bolts
arp headstuds
new oem honda valvetrain
peakboost turbo kit(t3/t4 or t3/t60-1 not decided yet which do you think?)

all help will be much appreciated guys.

p.s it will be tuned on hondata s300

 

are those wiseco pistons going to be forged? If so I don't think you will be able to run them on stock sleeves. I think the real question you need to ask yourself is what hp number are you shooting for? It is much easier to pick a power goal and then build an appropriate type of motor as opposed to making a list of parts and asking yourself how much hp will this make. There are just too many variables with the latter approach. Hope this helps

wtf?

no information is better than wrong information


to the OP; with that build list 350-400whp would be within reach, assuming the fuel system can handle it and the tune is good.

I think you are refering to the H22 stock FRM sleeves.
They will have a problem with regular forging.
(Didnt mahle make pistons for the SS H22??)

B18 sleeves will handle forged pistons without any problems.

With a good tune you shouldn have a problem maxing your turbo.t3-t04e or t3-t60-1
Just make shure you are picking the correct size injectors and a good fuelpump.
and of course choose a known tuner that you know do his work properly.

the engine can break on 250-300whp with the wrong guy behind the laptop
