I was thinking about getin a block gaurd and just wanted to get some opinions and fact from the honda-tech specialists. I have a built gsr bottom end with a t3/t4 E turbonetics turbo and hondata s200. Will be running 10-12 psi daily and 15 on race gas at the track. THANX fellas!

 

on blockguards , they do more harm

 

im not sure, but if you want to be st00pid fast!

just rebuild, sleeve it is the way to go

 

I have never used one, but a friend of mine has. Personally, I think resleeving is the best way to go. My friend used one for 3months. We, were doing a rebuild on his motor so we began taking the motor apart. When we pulled the head, we noticed that the block guard was sitting halfway down the sides of the cylinders. Not on top like he had installed it. I guess from all the vibration it just slid down. The blockguard was useless. If I were you, I would just save up and do it the right way. If you want to run higher boost levels, this is necessary. That's just my opinion. Good luck.

 

there are so many varied opinions on the subject, some people love them some hate them. try searching and look through some more opinions.

 

I would love o just sleeve it right now but I just aint got the time or the money. I plan on buying another block later on and sleeving it then. What do you mean by "higher" boost? I mean I want to run 10-12 daily and MAYBE 15 at the track. Of course finely tuned with hondata. thanx

 

where else could I look for some more opinions? Thanx!

GO TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! just had to throw that in

 

you could try the forced induction forum, instead of the classifieds

I am in the forced induction colum. where else can I look? thanx! Gabe

 

you are in the forced induction CLASSIFIEDS, this is where people buy/sell stuff forced induction related, you should ask this question in the TECH: forced induction, just follow the link I posted above.

 

sorry fellas, I forogt I was in the classifieds.

 

block arent nessary unless you run over 500hp all factories like toyota, nissans are runnin open blocks up to 500hp with no prob

 

Factory turbo'd cars are built for turbo already....try pushing 500hp in a honda motor w/o a block guard or sleeves, I dare you.
