hey guys looking for some heads up on doing this to my ls/vtec.............im basically looking for some cheap way to strenght up my block ..........my goal is to run 20 something psi........i read the tread on this subject on the d series .............wanna know if somebody has done it and how is it holding together

 

20 psi is a lot of freakin boost, to run that your gonna have to get those darton forged cylinder sleeves-very expensive, foraged pistons and rods-very expensive, some type of programmable ECU-expensive, for 20 psi u gotta run race gas all the time-very expensive.

 

I'm not trying to disrespect what you just said "anothercivicsi", because it's all true. But to run 20psi you don't really need sleeves. On our single cam race car we run stock block bored .020 over and just an STR block guard, and we've been running 28psi to that motor for over a year now. No problems at all. But that Accel DFI definatly has something to do with it.

 

i posted a ls block... it was a pain. have someone weld in a blockguarg for you... use one with larger coolant passages, and have it one prior to the machine work to accept the toughend internals. its cheaper and better than the posts

 

How is it better than the posts? Can you give us some insight?

It seems to me that with the right tools posting a block shouldn't be very hard. Cutting through some of the external webbing to drill looks like a PITA if you don't have the tools.

 

I'm going to be doing a incar install of some "Pin/Posts" for my Ls/Vtec very soon...

I'll take some pics..

jefff are u gona use the same measurements from the d series as far the distance from the top and bottom of the cylinder??..............u gonna install them with the block on the car??..........dammmmm.....let us know how it went>>>>>>>ps im trying to do this to my block *** well

 

the welding was a real pain... but i think Abaz;s are epoxied.it wasnt that hard to dril it, but if you do post it the block should be machined afterward, to compenstae for the way it can distort the cylinder bore.

 

whiteteg, you said youve been running 28psi on your car with the str blockguard. is it a daily driver and have you ever had it overheat
