ok honda techs need help!!!my friend give me a b16 block bored to 83mm with a block guards( ph4 pistons b16 crank and rods) but i think the stock sleeve wont handle any boost .....and i was planning go forced induction so i was wonder if will be better for me, going with stock b16 block(i have an extra one) that i have or go with the 83mm bored that will be a 1.7 and run 8 psi daily drive something safe. the other ? is if that block will run better n/a instead of forcing the block with boost... and if i should be wasting my time with that block(83mm) that is no gonna last long...

 

Go with the stock block. 83mm on stock sleeves??? I didn't even think it was possible.

The stock block can handle plenty of power if put together correctly and tuned right. What are you going to use for tuning?

 

first i was planning using a piggy back for obd1 and dont know yet what im going to use for tune. but let come back to the block the 83mm block was running on my friends car the reason why he took it off is because he sold the car and he take off the all swap ...

 

Honestly, stay away from the modded block. I do believe the most you can bore a stock sleeve is 1mm.

The stock sleeve B16 block will handle plenty of power. Check out the Forced induction section of Honda-Tech. There is a guy in Europe (IIRC) that managed to produce more that 600WHP from a stock sleeve B16.

The PSI isn't the problem, it's the lack of tuning and supporting mods that cause motors to grenade. If you're truly serious about putting together something for boost, do your homework and gather all of the parts that you'll need to do it right.
