Block Guard Or Posting?
 
im putting together my setup for 400whp on my b18c1. i know i know, someone will tell me to sleeve it. but, i want a cheaper effective alternative, if it so exists. ive heard some negative things about block guards, and i know block posting is also an option. with that amount of power, what do you guys suggest i do, i really do not want to sleeve it, as the cost of that is out of my range right now.


also, when it comes to block posting.....what happens when later down the road i DO want to sleeve it, and now there are holes in the block?

People have done 650+ whp on stock sleeves, Stephan here on HMT did 500+ whp I believe, not sure about Josh Ross's dad's car when it had stock sleeves (might have made a lot before it was sleeved), so you should be fine at only 400whp, with good tuning of course.

there are people making 500whp on stock sleeve right now. I know of 2 who are 430whp for 6months strong now.

Ive rocked 350ish whp on my stock sleeves for well over a yr now. sure, its problably only been driven half of that time, but when it does, it gets ripped on hard. Its also survived about 10 full pulls through an LS 4th gear on 20psi of SC61 lovin'

of course, im a firm believer in good tuning, so thats no doubt :)

seems as if my sleeves should be ok at 400 from what you guys are saying, but is that with a block guard, posting, or what? also keep in mind that this is my dd :s

stock sleeves, meaning no block guard or posting. Dave is on OEM pistons and rods too, unless I am mistaken.
