I have a built block with JE 9.1 comp pistons and Eagle H beam rods "stock bore" but its not sleeved. Is it possible to keep the same pistons etc and sleeve it, would it be worth it. What do you think a ball park figure on cost would be?

 

Sup Nick, nah you will not be able to keep the same pistons wich sucks you would have to match them to the new sleeves. Sicne your motor is built I've seen many people run stock sleeves up to 450+ and sometimes even more so I would just keep what you have for now you should be straight.

What's up Lee? Ever finish you turbo project? HMM yeah I'll just keep that block, that is if I don't sell my car, my wife's wanting me to sell it but I'm don't really want to. I'll just keep putting money in it . Well cool thank man, how columbia?

 

Well my project is coming along, though I've changed set ups again hopefully my last one. U got to keep that car man lol it's too sweet to sell.

Cola is the same ole same ole nothing new going on right now, I'm kinda looking forward to NOPI so I can get some good races and what not in.

 

Anyone near Colo to help me tune my car when I get back? The only person I know is in Raleigh and **** going up there everytime I need to tune my car. I got it tuned right before I left@280HP I was pretty happy. But I only got to drive it for 4 days before I came here

 

There is a spot in fort mills P1 auto that can tune pretty good and there only about 45 minutes from cola. Pm "Jack" which is his sn for more info on that.

 

Does he tune uberdata?

 

I'm not sure if he does or not.

 

Thats what I'm tuned with right now that all, it would be nice to stick with the same stuff thats all, thanks any good luck with you set up

 

I've never had a block sleeved, but don't you match the bore to the piston? Not the other way around. You should be able to use your old pistons...

 

If you have 81.5MM pistons then whoever is sleeving and assembling your motor should be competent enough to bore the sleeves to 81.5MM, put new rings in the pistons, and install them in the new motor provided they are not worn heavily.

 

should be able to use same pistons with new rings, I did in my sleeved motor,b16a

 

There brand new pistons and rings, never been used

 

I'd just run this build until it takes a ****, then sleeve the block. Osan AB, huh??
I have alot of kick *** memories of partying outside the gate there in Song-tan. So how are all the juicey girls doin over there in Korea, I was at Humphery's for a year, loved every seacond of it.

 

Yeah its not too bad here, it would be a lot better if my wife and daughter were here. She just had my daughter in May and I've seen my daughter for a week when she was born. I won't see her until Feb. so that sucks but other than that its pretty cool. Getting drunk outside the gate is always nice . Yeah I'm just gonna through this block in and go, thanks guys
