sleeving, tuning, bigger injectors etc, but I'd check the forced induction part of the board...

Try the forced indcution forum.
Some of those people really know their shizzle.

At first guess, you could probably NOT sleeve the block.
I've heard of D-series taking 20psi on stock sleeves with a pinned block.
If you go with the pinned block there is no need to even consider a blockgaurd (many people thing blockgaurds are garbage. Many have had bad problems with the thing slipping down a few inches into the water jacket )
You could also just sleeve the block. It's pricey, but you can then get it bored out for big *** pistons!

Aftermarket forged pistons are a MUST.
Aftermarket rods will probably be needed too.


Most importantly you WILL need a VERY good engine management system if you want this thing to run well and last a while. Don't try somethign dumb like the VAFC hack... that won't do it at 15psi.... maybe 10, but not 15.

save up and do it the right way the 1st time...
pistons
rods
head studs
sleeve
cams
fuel pump
injectors
ect ect....tons more stuff you can do all depends on how deep your pockets are....
ive had some friends run 10psi for over 2years on a stock b16... You just have to take very good care of your motor.....and def get some fuel management...... VAFC hack is a pos and you'll be all over the place lean and rich....and yes try the forced induction part of the board
