everyone is going to tell you to sleeve it. That is the weakest part of the h22 so if you don't want to be off the road again sleeve it, rather be safe than sorry

 

Ok you REALLY need to get your motor out of there shop and mine as well hand it to monkeys... Cause they are going to blow it UP!
Like as said before if you want to run Forged parts you MUST MUST sleeve your block. There is 1 compay out there that sell pistons that are designed for Boost/N20 but have yet to be Proven out.
If you want a 3rd 4th 5th 6th opnion go here http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com they are about the BEST "Sleevers" out there.

Oh and that Phantom grip is going to EXPLODE the first time you launch on that car. Get a Quaife ATB diff. It comes with a LIFETIME warrantee. You break it and they will buy a new one! No questions asked!
Quaife
Phantom Grip

Yea if you want to BIG N20 or Boost then you are going to NEED fuel managment.

 

you cant use aftermarket forged pistons with the FRM material, you do know that right?


sell the phantom grip and get a real differential since you dont want problems

your mechanic and machinist sound like morons
