D series block sleeves?
I'm lookin to put some serious boost to my d16z6. How much do the sleeves cost, where can i get them, and are they complicated to install? Thanks

no point sleeving a d unless you overbored or whatever. if your still at fact. bore or .10 over or something, you dont need to sleeve for boost. like 400whp+ has been proven on stock sleeves, just maybe a block guard or something

ya, if you have a stock block, you can do light honing, or a .10 bore and not need sleeves. i've seen d16z6's go with 30psi on stock sleeves. but i think ppl are using block guards, but not completely sure myself if block guards are good or bad

while the D blocks are def. strong i wouldn't suggest a daily 20psi 
Yeah you can do it but the question is for how long..
Just hone your stock block, and slowly build up the boost and figure out what you want out of your engine setup.
So all in all.. IMO don't sleeve it don't bother with a cheap block guard either they can restrict coolant flow and create hot-spots (look into golden eagle or custom guards if you're set on running them).

good info above!
the thing i would be more worried about with boost is the rods! LS is an option!
and do not forget ARP studs
