im planning to pull my integra motor in the next couple weeks. Been slowly piecing together a kit, went with a ram horn and a 6262 that i couldnt pass on. How far can i go with my stock sleeves? I dont plan on pushing the turbo to its max, therefor id be pretty happy with anything 450-500 whp. Want to do the weisco/eagle combo 9:1 comp, but curious if thats gonna be pushing my sleeves to much

 

We've seen stock sleeves crack at 300 and some at 600 and anywhere in between. There's always these guys for a middle step http://www.cylindersupportsystem.com

 

if youve got the dough, why not just sleeve it? itllbe safe an youll have peace of mind ))

 

oh, and if you ever want more... you wont have to rip the engine apart, you win twice brother

 

i would get it sleeved or get the css done if your goal is 450-500whp.

 

also i would consider getting aftermarket valve springs and titanium retainers.

 

Sleeve it.
81mm and rebuild from there. It should last a long long time on a good tune.

 

Stock sleeves hold up well at those power levels particularly with the right tuner and fuel. You can push 400 range with pump gas on stock sleeves but I wouldn't go much further. 600-700 being done on stock sleeves. Some people Run GE block guards for added support. Don't waste your time and money on CSS. Sleeve it or leave it alone IMO

 

mostly want to run it on pump, and maybe the occasional e85.
Can any one recommend a place besides golden eagle that will do sleeves

 

Any NW guys on here? I need a good machine shop with some boosted honda experiance to do my short block. Im in the portland area

 

Howard's Hotrods in va. Excellent work had them build my shortblock
