My B18C1 Engine Build/Assembly
Re: My B18C1 Engine Build/Assembly
Facepalm all you'd like.. I have seen and heard of many cracked cylinder walls on Honda engines. I have also seen many that were mildly modded, without sleeves (up to 300whp), without incident. What my point overall there was that somebody with the impeccable detail-oriented build such as calidad's might have had sleeves written into the first round? 
Sleeved block are not the end all be all / absolute.
You do realize this is 2017 not 1997 when turbo honda guys were rocking FMU or afchack and what we once through of a crazy turbo application for street honda was 300whp.......300whp then is the 500whp now, right?
I have customers/friends on stock sleeves making 450-550whp on stock sleelves (no other reinforcement) and guys making 500-800whp on stock sleeves with CSS and none of these are "out liners" but more so the norm to the rules of the turbo honda game.

Like a fool, I purchased the 67mm GTW as soon as they were on sale at the full price, and still haven't finished my car, it's just collecting rust.

Calidad, look up Engine Masters on youtube, they've got lots of cool videos with dyno testing all sorts of parts with big and small blocks. That side-draft air intake filter is one of the worst for power.
