d16 project!
 

I have a d16 I dont know what kind. Its on the EG body non-vtec. 75x90mm bore and stroke. I know the compression is around 10:1.

If I do the block posting shoould I sleeve it and hone? Or sleeve, hone and posting? Plan to put the (d16???) piston that is 9:1(dont know what model). What you guys think with a t3/t4 deltagate2, fmic spearco,450dsm injectors, b16T/B, inline drag 3 pump, vafc hack, and ported head. Planning to boost 8psi. What do you think the power it will produce. Planning to use a wideband o2 sensor.The engine will be pulled out this week!

Thanks in advance!

Re:d16 project!
 

for 8psi u dont need to sleeve/post it. only 13+

Re:d16 project!
 

Yup, just to be safe. I want to bring the engine back to stock specs. Plus we have a hot climate.

What you guys think about the things Im planning to do?

Re:d16 project!
 

well.. if u want to be safe put some rods/rod bolts and all that in there to..

do the posting if u are worried, its relatively cheap to do yourself, but sleeving is not.

Re:d16 project!
 

well, i get the sleeve cheap. what you guys think about d16 9:1 CR. t3/t4 at 8psi, 450dsm, inline pump, port and polish head, block posting. maybe 10psi in the track? how my hp could I get minimim and maximum?

Re:d16 project!
 

SAFC for tuning? Id say at 8psi you'd get around 180-200whp.

10psi, maybe 200-230

Re:d16 project!
 

okay, thanks! Ill be taking the engine apart this week and let you know. any suggestions

Re:d16 project!
 

About the block posting, do I need to get the exact same material as the engine block. Or i could use regular alloy pins at the hardware? could I use metal epoxy? whats jb weld?

Re:d16 project!
 

Use the same alloy as the block, so it heats/contracts the same amount or you will get sleeve distortion. Use a high temp epoxy.. JB weld sucks, I have a small leak :-\

Re:d16 project!
 

is there any aftermarket rods that would work with stock piston?...

Re:d16 project!
 

I could have the sleeve done cheaper than you guys think. maybe around 80bucks. rod really dont have a budget.

Abaz,

How would I know if its the same material as the block?

Re:d16 project!
 

sleev job for 80 bucks??

the sleeves alone are like 400

Re:d16 project!
 

yup, I have friends that will do it for me really cheap.

Re:d16 project!
 

Not too many people know how to do a proper sleeve job. Make sure they are doing it properly, otherwise they may sink, crack, well you know the rest.

It's not the same as iron sleeving a 350. It also needs to be posted and the old sleeves have to be cut out.

If you can get it done for that cheap then go for it.

Show us some pics when it's done.

Re:d16 project!
 

i think your buddies are just putting in new stock sleeves which is useless

Re:d16 project!
 

If you re-sleeve, it should be stronger right? Puts it back to stock bore! I think they could do it right. A machine shop is going to do it. Any other suggestions?

Re:d16 project!
 

could I use A high temp epoxy or fiberglass resin to solid deck the block?
