stock sleeves with internals.. how much boost?
I am looking into building a block with arias pistons and eagle rods, stock sleeves. with decent tuning, how much boost can the stock sleeves handle? 15psi? 20psi?
how much could it handle with RS machine sleeves?

they say the walls start shaking at 15psi. I strongly believe against block posting. I feel it causes more harm than good. Its basic physics, pressure is a force exerted over an area. When the force is concentrated onto a small 1/8th inch area, The exerted force is multiplied exponentially.

i wish i had money to build my engine, but i guess <10 psi will do for now.

I don't have money to build a motor, I'm running >12psi. The boost keeps rising as a get bored with the car. Motors are harder to gernade than most people think. It took 16psi and some severe *** kickin to eventually melt a piston in my Integra. I'd post pics but I no longer have a camera.
