MidShipCivic

My friend has a MX-6 V6 (almost no aftermarket for it)


He said he wants to boost it ( he doesn't know much about the basics of turbocharging etc) I did some reading and this thing cant really handle anything after 400hp. Only the ausssie made over 1100hp with it and that with some sleeving I'm guessing.


Heres the block.

Would Darton or Benson do something for this?

That's a nice looking engine...thick sleeves, main cap girdle, etc.

Is 400hp not enough? I'd check into things like pistons and rods before sleeves.

For sure the sleeves can handle 400-700hp it's your pistons and rods that'll break first. So just upgrade those.

BTW thats OEM block sleeves.

You guys really think so ?

Pauter and Ross makes something luckily.

4-bolt mains in a deep skirt block looks pretty stout to me.

MidShipCivic

So it must have been from bad tuning then that it blew at 400whp, if you guys say the thing is stout.

earl had done a block similar to that a while back with some benson's sleeve
