How much would stock sleeve hold?..
 

how much boost would stock D16Z6 sleeve hold...assuming i am using aftermarket pistons/rods...
would it hold up to 15 psi?.....
if not how much would pinning it help?...(b4 resleeve $ :-[$)

Re:How much would stock sleeve hold?..
 

i doubt the stock sleeves would take 15psi for long...i ran 13 for quite some time, but i wouldnt go to 15....i posted my block so we'll see how well that does when i get it all done and boosting again

acuatly not really looking for certain psi...
but aiming for 250+whp...in a D16 with rods and 9.0 pistons...with a T3/04 .48.60, vafc . btm, 440ccs.........would 10 psi do the job?...if it would then i might just forget about teh sleeves and save $600+ ;D

I'm running stock sleeves with a built bottom end. 13psi, spikes to 15-16 under load (no wastegate, only a spring). 250 whp should be possible with that setup, but probably not at 10psi. Maybe 14-15 or so, depending on other factors. I gotta get the booger put back together, and then I'm gonna dyno her, so we'll see what she will do at 15psi.
