I am running 10 pounds on my d16z6 and on the side plan to build a motor for more boost.
Now if i was to post the block, and use a block gaurd, i know some people have good luck and some have bad, but my buddy has been using one for 3,000 miles on his and hes ok. Should i be ok with this and some upgraded forged rods and pistons as well.

 

i ran 17 psi on my y7 mini me for 6 months of daily rapings with no sleeve support weaht so ever. its pointless.

i sold the motr and never had a prob with it..

 

u either post or put a block guard
doing both is a waste of time

 

If you can afford sleeves do it. I don't care if people push 400 hp, its all in the tune but it will fail at some point and besides you can run crazy *** boost like 20psi+ with no worries. I see that block filling seems to also be working but if you can get sleeves do it.

 

well 17 psi outta a t4/to4b on stock sleeves for 6 months and about 10k miles id say youll be ok.

it made 253 whp and woulda made more if i wasnt breakin up at 5300 like i did. d sleeves are pretty beefy stock.

 

i want to atleast post them, its easy enough to do and i got the ---- to do it, and i want it to last for atleast a little while

 

all posting does is add focal points for stress..... yes brilliant

 

stock ductile iron sleeves are strong enough.....I've never seen a stcok sleeve fail...the stock rod's and pistons always go first.

 

Screw the posting and block guard. Just buy some devcon and fill it. block guards are gaysauce.

 

ok now this is weird...im literaly like 15 minutes away from drilling holes in my block to posting it. i was under the impression that it was a good thing and that any support for the cylinders is a good thing? ive got pistons and rods and a built z6 head, im shooting for 300 to 340 hp. should i do it or not i mean it really cant hurt anything right? well at least thats my thought, hotrex is there any truth to what you are saying about creating a focal point for stress? that really doesnt make sense to me especially if you get the cylinders honed after posting (wich im doing) someone clear this up for me please!
