nice man, nice. should be solid, that turbo should take you to 300whp, I used one to 326 under 20 psi on my b16 setup. glad you did not let the bullshit talk about blockgaurds get to you. good look, cant wait to see the results

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
Wow, this is one of the cleanest/nicest builds I have seen on here. 
Thanks for explaining the O-Ring thing, but I'm a little confused on the grooves for them. You said a machine shop bore those grooves into the sleeve? Is it any type of copper wire or a special type? What size did you go with? So now this means you don't ever use a headgasket? Do you replace the wire when you pull the head like you would with a HG?
Are those Honda rod bearings going to be alright not to spin? Are they like aftermarket rod bearings or are you just using NEW OEM ones?
Sorry for all the n00b questions, but I'm really interested in this build and your approach. Good luck and I think 300whp is obtainable even with the 48/60.

ANSWER:thanks, the o-ringing is done by cutting a groove/channel around the top of the sleeve which the wire will fit into. it has to be precise so that the wire only protrudes .006-.008 about the deck.the copper wire was purchased from golden eagle. its 18 gauge.you still need to you use a headgasket but with this method you will almost NEVER blow a headgasket. if you pull the head its recommended that you do replace the wire.
Are those Honda rod bearings going to be alright not to spin? Are they like aftermarket rod bearings or are you just using NEW OEM ones?
ANSWER: all bearings are oem honda. they will not spin. they are better than generic one size fits all aftermarket bearings. this way you can always get proper clearance because not all the journal and caps are uniform some are bigger some are smaller and the aftermarket bearings are all one size you can't mix and match. my engine used honda b yellow,b pink, and b greens to achieve proper oil clearance.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
start on my pcv system........hmt style Jb madness.
from there it will go to a custom catch can and then to the exh. slash cut. im going to canton racing next week, they're gonna make a custom breather can for me, i like this method better because getting rid of the black pcv box free up flow, the box is very restrictive and it was clogged with chunks of ----.
