Max boost on my motor??
I have a b16a 2000 civic si. The motor however has a bottom end.
Motor consists of
JE pistons 8:5:1 83mm bore
Eagle Rods
STR block guard
and a thick non memory nascar head gasket
valvetrain port and polish
3angle valve job
the reason i ask this is because the original bore was 81mm
and the new bore is 83mm so the sleeves were reduced in thickness
from the bore and I think that comes into play. I have all upgraded fuel and
ignition. I didn't sleeve it because I own a shop and sleeving is expensive and
customers don't ever look at that because of that reason. So this setup is a first for me. Normally sleeves can handle 30psi boost at the track. Bensons jobs handle a big 38psi so Im not acustomed to using stock sleeves.. Some one ever see max boost on these..?

Re: Max boost on my motor?? (immortal)
tell me about that this is my first rebuild motor like this one id rather sleeve it and forget it but its only for kicks if it blows ill dump one of my built b16a's in. But its still my car since everyone is chicken to turn up the boost.. my car is the test dummy.. I figure i hardly drive it so why not..
