I was wondering what is involved in sleeving my block (D16Y8).
The motor is already boosted, pistons + rods etc. I want to sleeve it so that it will be stronger and so i may run a higher boost.

Is there a certain sleeve you reccomend or that i sould stay away from??


Thanks.

 

depends on your overall power goal. if it inst that high you will be ok on stock sleeves. search for golden eagle manufacturing and ERL performance

 

i am hoping for about 275 - 325whp

 

it is all in the tuning. do forged internals and stock sleeves and you may be ok.

 

I have forged internals

 

for that amount of power you want, sleeving is not needed and the money should be spent on good fuel management instead

yup, 325hp is doable on stock sleeves, people on here have done it.

search for turbocx on here, i think he made nearly 400.

 

oh nice, i will check that out

 

for that ammount of power the stock sleeves will be fine.......
