Hi i have a 1998 civic 1.6 sohc vtec with a 50 shot.i want to turbo it and have most of the parts. some people say this engine is not worth playing with since you cant get a sleeve kit for it. is this true ? has anyone heard of KMS turbo block gard? is this ilke a sleeve kit or what? They say it will hold 12 psi and the 50 shot. its on ebay Item # 2403514076if you want to check it out. any input would be great. with the hf mani do you have to take out the ac?
Thanks Andrew

block guards are NOT drop in. YOu must weld in placeand have surface redone by a knowledgable machine shop...

A block guard isnt going to do ---- unless its installed correctly. It will do more damage if not installed right. It can easily distort the cylinder walls and take away cooling in areas which its really needed.

I have a question, why would you want a 50 shot and a turbo setup? to run multipule types of forced induction, you better get a built engine quick, because you will launch rods quicker than you can hit your nos button.

Is it true you can't get sleeves for a d16z6? That doesn't sound right but I really don't know. Thanks,
