i picking up d16a6 block pretty soon. i want to know if i can bore it .20 over to get the walls good and still have the walls safe for 300+ hp.

im going to use wiseco pistons and tuner toys rods

 

stock sleeves are pretty weak, you *could* run 300hp out of it, but if you detonate, say goodbye to that bottom end. Also, you may have a block that has been rebuilt and been bored out already. You really have to bring it to a shop and have them measure it for you.

If you are going to be running 300hp, I would advise you to get a sleeved block instead.

 

uhhhh. ive seen plenty of people do fin with stock sleeves, thats not my concern

 

Does tunertoys have D16 rod's now? or is it the eagles?

 

its the eagles

 

I'm getting my ZC bored .020 over. I'm not shooting for 300+ granted but IMO as long as I had a good tuner I wouldn't worry about it. You won't have much room for error though. Good luck. What comp pistons are you using?

 

wiseco 9:1 im just gonna end up sleeving the motor. i found darton sleeves for 450 and a guy that i met today said he could do it for cheap. (owns his own performance shop and builds porsche motors)
