Default Worth fixing my B20b bottom end?
Would you say building a B20 bottom end is worth it with their weak sleeves? By build I mean only pistons/rods. I'm not even sure if my bottom end is bad (I either blew the motor or head gasket) but I figure since the motor is apart right now I might as well do something down there. If you think it's worth it, feel free to suggest some piston/rod setups.

Thanks

How much will I be able to boost without having to worry about cracking the walls?

there is no all-inclusive answer to that question.. its all in the tuning and fuel management.. some people will say to stay under 10, then there are people like st00pid who boost 20+ on stock bottom ends with no problems.

True, I'm happy under 10. Looking for aftermarket internals now.

b20 sleeves are weak, but I have seen a guy in town run 30 on the stock sleeves. he had a str block guard in there too. and 10:1 pistons on methanol.

Jesus that's crazy. I probably wont be running over 10psi anyway, so with some nice internals I should be safe...
