DART sells just the sleeves if you own/got the hook up at a machine shop...personally i think that GE warrenties there sleeves...you cant beat that...

How much Boost you going for man? Boost 15 with good tuning, youll be happy trust me. Otherwise sleeves are going to cost you at least 900$

DH-Racing can probably do it for $1k you gotta count shipping your block back and forth though. I had them build me a full engine block and head (minus camshaft and rocker) using an a6 block with a z6 head oh and no oil pan for $4.5k shipped. This is a fully built motor though, and fully race ready for boost.

So I give props to them www.dh-racing.com (they're one of the only people getting decked up on my car!)

i called all the local shop and i got a price of about $600 sleeve and labor he say it a dry sleeve so it can handle some boost but not like 30+psi he say maybe about 15+psi what you guy think ? $400 for the labor if i get the sleeve

Re:machine shop sleeve
 
if you're going to spend 600 to do it halfass, why not spend 1000 and have Benson, GE or whoever you like do it proper?

I had to take it in the ass on my B18C1 im building... just the way it is.

Re:machine shop sleeve
 
def dont think that that is worth it 600 to boost maybe 15psi i would just spend the extra 400 and do it right if your goin to sleeve
