Sleeves
I am planning a build for a B16A2 here in the near future and my intentions are to go turbo on this build. From my research over the years I have come to learn that all the manufacturers are about the same. My question is should I run dry sleeves or wet sleeves. I plan to run anywhere between 15psi and 28psi boost. Any help would be great. Thanks in advanced.

Re: Sleeves

Re: Sleeves
I gave you all the pertinent information required for this topic in the first reply. I will state again: It doesn't matter.
edit: because you seem to be dense and most assuredly this will aggravate you since you think you're question isn't being answered, I will tell you installation (machining) is what matters. They are both designed to do the same thing, and the metal is designed to withstand things that the stock sleeve can't.

Re: Sleeves
To be honest IDK, I have the old school GE Godzilla sleeves that have a full open deck with just a brace down low and a machined egde for the brace/sleeve to rest on, I always considered them "wet sleeves" because at the top its just sleeve and fully surrounded by coolant and the enclosed designs "dry sleeves", I could very well be mistaken I guess.

Re: Sleeves
Wet sleeves, = coolant touches them
Dry sleeves = usually installed into oem casting, which separates sleeve from coolant.
typically wet sleeves have much higher power/pressure ratings, though the dry sleeves have also proven to be very worthwhile. I would never run them, but that doesn't mean they aren't any good, and for the OP's purposes, either would suffice more than likely.
