need some advice (building my motor up)
 

ok, so i am rebuilding my b18b. i am going to be putting SRP 8.8:1 or 8.4:1 pistons(havnt decided) darton sleeves and tuner toys h-beam rods. plus a guard block. my question is, how much horsepower do you think that setup will hold? i might be thinking about nitrous in the future, so keep that in mind. so what comp ratio should i go with. 8.4 or 8.1, i want to run somwhere around 20-25psi SAFELY on crome. is this possible? thanks guys

and if you have a setup that you have done in the past like this, post up what you used and what you accomplished with it! THANKS!!

with a block guard AND sleeves, its gotta be good for at least 1000hp. sounds like you need to learn a hell of a lot more before you go taking that motor apart.

like what

A blockguard is used as a substitute for sleeving for those lacking the money.If your going to spend big bucks sleeving you might as well get something better than SRP&tunertoys combo.

another words u cant use a block guard with sleeves O0

and as to running 20-25 psi is fine on either 8:4 or 8:1, just use a good tune, i would prolly even go a little higher but you gotta choose what u want you might want to do a little more research before commiting to this project

i thought a block gaurd was just extra support for the sleeves. I dont want to spend BIG BUCKS, and thats why i am choosing to go SRP and tuner toys. whats the matter with there stuff? I would like to make UNDER OR AROUND 500hp. I think that that 450 is a Goal to reach. I am thinking of just going with 8.0:1, thats a pretty good compression ratio for my wantings right?

and yes i need to do more research i know, but i was just getting an idea, and i would still like to know if anyone has similar buildups and could let me know what they did! thanks

ALSO IF YOU HAVE A BUILT TURBO MOTOR USING UBERDATA, CROME, WHATEVER, YOUR INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKS!

8:1 is low to me....id go with 9

Re: need some advice (building my motor up)
 

block guards help protect stock sleeves

Re: need some advice (building my motor up)
 

with 20-25psi? if anything i would go max 8.5....right? 9 just seems to high to me
