Hey guys, whats the hightes boost level you guys would run on stock sleeves ? Ive read a lot of things here on HT, about boost is irrevelant it's horsepower that matters. I know b16 sleeves are good to about 500hp, which is more than i need i'm hoping for 400whp btw. The reason I ask is i have a stock sleeved fully built b16 with a block guard, and 2 different performance shops have told me not to run over 15-16psi and the guy who did all the bottom end building/ machine work guaranteed me i can run 18-20 with no problem. I want to run 18-20 and i'm just about to get it tuned what do you guys think is safe for stock sleeves

 

ppl making over 700+whp on stock sleeves with over 25+ psi of boost

psi don't mean explative

 

over 700 on stock sleeves for a little while maybe.

and he is right about the psi not the issue.
my friend made 600 on stock sleeves fir 1 dyno run, then went boom.

at that level, any hiccup is usually catastrophic.

 

understandable but a hickup can happen on 15 or 20psi or even lower and i understand thats were a good tune comes in i just want to make sure that 18-20 psi and 400whp whont be to much stress on my motor

It's all in the tune...as long as you run moderate boost.

 

18-20psi with what turbo?

 

PSI is too relative to matter across the boards, son.

X2 it depends if your going to run 18-20psi on a stock 14b or a gt35r... psi really doesnt matter

 

the turbo is a garret t3/t04e 57 trim and a full-race mani if that matters

On an SLS ramhorn w/ a 57 trim and 110 octane, SLS's white hatch made 451.9whp at 24psi on a piston/rod/stock sleeve setup w/ a B16. Then proceeded to run a 10.47

 

Why not spend a little bit of cash for an after market sleeve which at the end of the day will give you a peace of mind.

cheers..

I have my GSR with only rods and pistons for over 2 years boosting 25lbs making well over 500whp and no issues. For stock sleeves good tunner and C16
