i seen people make 300-400 on stock sleeves.

you need a good build and tune though.

if your going n/a theres really no need to sleeve unless your going all out.

but if you boost minus well get it sleeved and do it right the first time

i got a sleeved b18b1 waiting for pistons and rods

I'd sleeve it because you could go with a bigger bore for the same price and assuming your getting new pistons as well, most of the bigger pistons are close to the stock size as far as price goes. If your going to be spending 1000 for sleeves and 500 for pistons would you rather have 81 or 85mm bore? Bigger is better.

if you go with stock sleeves you risk damaging your other parts when they give out later on.

stock sleeves will hold good hp, but for how long?

do it right the first time and save money.

gotta pay to play

The OP hasn't posted in this forum in over ten years... and the last posts were "For Sale or Trade" type posts. I am fairly confident that he will not respond to you.
