<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by b18_spoon &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Why?</TD></TR></TABLE>b20s are very different then b16 and 18s for sleeving because of the way their made and most sleeving shops will not guaranty them or even try to sleeve them but because we make all our sleeves in house we can sleeve almost anything and we have sleeved many b20s with no problems

 

sounds good to me me..my friend has a turbo b20 on 10lbs and thats his daily hasent had any problems yet and he has been driving it for almost a year

 

How different is the bottom of the B20 sleeve than the LS sleeve? I was led to believe that B20 blocks were basically bored LS's; therefore bad for boosting because the cylinder walls were thinner than LS. Visually I didn't see any of the typical webbing on the outside of the b20 block that the LS has either. Does that mean anything as well? I always figured the that as long as the sleeve was strong the rest of the block would hold up.

 

the b20 is like a ls because it has the same stroke and uses the same rods but the casting is totally different the b20 sleeves are different then any other Honda but when it is sleeved it is fine and will hold up as good as any other Honda motor

I was going to say RS machines does as well. I talked to them a few weeks ago about ordering a sleeved b20.
