i'm biulding my B18c5 for turbo i'm going with, DART interlocking sleeves,cp pistons, scat rods and a sc61 turbo. I was just wondering whut compression pistons i should go with i'm looking for 450+hp i just was wondering whut comp. ppl went with that made that much or more power

Damn, I was hoping to hear about a C5 build. As in a Corvette C5.

Anyways, I won't give advice on the comp ratio since I've never built an engine to handle that much power.

9:1 c/r will do fine, but if your using sleeves, you may as well bore the ---- out of them and go 84 mm....

Why are you spending the big $ on sleeves for 450 hp, the stock sleeves should handle that no prob.

boosted_b16

although many will argue the integrity of the stock sleeves at 450 hp should be fine and is dependant on tuning, having a reliable 450 hp will require aftermarket sleeves, and like i said if you want good torque numbers, you should go 84 mm bore.

almost the same setup I'm going to run, shooting for 450hp on a 84 mm c5 block, stock hype r head and a gt35r turbo. I would run 9-9.5:1 anywere in there is fine. I also like the idea of the little extra insurance/peace of mind sleeves give That setup will be capable of more, but what the ---- are you going to do with more :P

i was just shooting for 450 i mean if i can make more than good but i'm going with a stock type R head just gonna refresh it new seals etc. i wanna run cp pistons scat rods and oem rings and bearings with the SC61 like 15psi normal but like 20-25 track

I didnt know they put type R engines in corvettes ?

koreanwilcox

Haha... that's how they name the generations of Corvettes. C1, C2, C3 etc. My buddies dad has both a C1 and a C5.

It's not the motor code.
