I was thinking about getin a block gaurd and just wanted to get some opinions and fact from the honda-tech specialists. I have a built gsr bottom end with a t3/t4 E turbonetics turbo and hondata s200. Will be running 10-12 psi daily and 15 on race gas at the track. THANX fellas!

that's pretty much the setup i'm running right now but on a B16...i used the Nuformz blockguard which seems to be holding up.....i'm also running an InlinePro gasket....JE 9.0:1/Eagle Rods

gsrcivict

how much power you get outta that b16? where did you get the nuforms from?

thanx

I think a block guard is an awsome option if you dont have the money for sleeves. The only time you hear horror stories about block guards is when people install them wrong, or like a couple years ago when some of them had cooling problems. Just make sure you dont distort the sleeves when you do the install, and I havent heard anyone talk about cooling problems recently so I dont think you need to worry about that.

BTW where are all of the anti-block guard people? They usually chime in by now

I've been running the str block guard for quite some time w/ no probs. What I found out after the fact though is if you are going to bore the bottom have them do it with the blockguard in place, makes sense.

gsrcivict

what if the blocks already been bored? (20 over I think)

The block guard would still fit the same, but the sleeves might distort a little easier since the sleeve is thinner....

Make sure you put the blockguard in before any machine work. I had sleeves distort putting a block guard in after the sleeves were bored to 81.5.

gsrcivict

what do you mean distort? did they fail? So I shouldnt put one in? my block has already been bored to 81.5.

how hard is the install?
