Getting all my eggs together before I start. Planning on rebuilding a b16 with rods and pistons for a turbo. The only thing i'm concerned about are the sleeves and crank. Would they be alright under 350hp maybe 400hp at the strip? I'm new btw.

You will be fine with both. Honda cranks are good upwards to 700hp and stock sleeves have been pushed more than 400. It all depends on the tune

Chops13

That's what I figured. I just wanted to make sure. Just need to find a good tuner in NE Ohio.

good to go man.. do it all right and youll be fine.

depends on the tuner if you have a good one you will be ok

Tuner is 75% part of the build! He's like the doctor!

cleansi

it all depends you should be good.
ive been pushing past 500 whp on my stock sleeves for 15k plus now.
some are blown on the first pull get a good tuner watch out for boost spikes and you a/f.

also alot of success hasbeen made on water/meth inj or e85 to help save the engine

I'd like to run e85 but the nearest gas station that sells it is a 30 min drive.

I'v heard that Big3Racing in Medina does really good tunes for Hondas. They are located in Medina.

That's where I have planned to get mine tuned. 600 bucks for ECTune, that includes the $200 license fee for the program.

http://big3racing.net/ This is their website. Has a couple of the hondas they have tuned on there.

I'll have to look into them.

if you are seriouse about running e85 then just buy it by the drum and have it shipped to your door step

dantamparacer

sleeves are usually fine up to around 500ish

rich7777

Wow ! you can really do that ? Do you want to send me 10x drums as a gift ?

sanman000719

nah but i could point you in the direction of ashippe rthat will gladly take your strip club money right out your pocket though

rs250nut

Not a bad idea but by the time you have payed the handling fee, the vat, the import tax................. you may have just brought some c/q 16

On E85 400whp on a stock block is a walk in the park. All in the tune though.

rich7777

I was only messing around... I'd be interested to see what all the fuss is about though

rich7777

I was only joking with you I didnt actually think you could buy it like that.

rs250nut

Cheap race gas

sanman000719

lol its kool man

e85 i a buzz for a reason, and some will ay alot safer than c/q

rich7777

I can see buy your sig that you've had some fun with the stuff.

Do you know DK Goodrich BTW ? I see your both from KY.

Edit: Send me some Kentucky fried chicken then...

i think over 400whp youre pushing youre luck on pump gas...mine cracked and was tuned at 390whp...although the tune was done in 70 degree weather...and it cracked on a cold night 20 degrees....so clearly it was making more power. i also bored it to 81.5mm im sure that makes them weaker as well... 1500 $ later got Darton mid's and o-ringed. Although i agree its all in the tune...but generally speaking over 400whp with pump gas you have a greater risk.

sanman000719

lol@the chicken i knew col sanders when i was young and in school he was a wild old man and he left most of his estate to his choufer haha

yes i have been up to talk with dk a few times as well.
