Im in the process of building my turbo kit, and the question of sleeving pops up after i buy a new part. im looking for nothing spectacular, like 300 hp max. so do i really need to sleeve my block. its a b18c1. so help me make up my mind.

 

You've been here for 2.5 years and you still don't know how to search? Jeez. 300 horsepower is perfectly fine on stock sleeves in a daily appllication. Lots of people are pushing 350+ on daily drivers. 500+ on race gas has been done on numerous cars on stock sleeves.

Your search for <FONT SIZE="8">stock sleeves</FONT> returned <FONT SIZE="8">138 results</FONT>.

 

HAHAHHAAHA!!

 

im sure if you read all 138 of those posts none of them specifcally answer my question. thanx for the help.

 

stock sleeves are fine if your tuning is up to par.

Yes, I'm pretty sure there's atleast a dozen of them that do answer your question.

 

with proper fuel management and tuning, 300hp is doable with stock sleeves.

You shouldnt have to build a sleeved block to handle that much HP. Concentrate on bigger injectors and ESPECIALLY tuning, dyno tuning as precise as can be.
