Gonna be slammin some rods and pistons in my B18b

is sleeving really necassary?

I only want to run 15 psi or so

gonna try for 300HP

 

You will be fine with the stock sleeves but make sure you have a good tuner.

 

yep. this is a good time to get some headstuds as well, and do things like timing belt/water/oil pump, thermostat, any other little things like that.

 

Nonsense, go for 350-400 whp. Engine life will be approx two oil changes, and with all that heat cooking the oil they won't be the every 3000 mile variety. You'll also need racegas or water injection at that point to cool things off.

Wanting your engine to last is irrelevant when you can make anybody sitting in your passenger's seat gibber in terror and try to cram themselves into the floorboard! Think about it.

 

Just make sure you hone the cylinders before you install the pistons.

 

i think it will last longer then 2 oil changes.

 

At those power levels, I'd tear the suspension out from under the car before two oil changes... that is if the transmission didn't fall out from the defective ED chassis transmission mounts tear off from the frame rail in a real power situation. Maybe you picked one of the easier, roomier chassis, though

 

I'm installing the exact same pistons and rods in my B18A1,but my pistons are a 10.1 cr so I'll have to get it tuned to run some higher boost safely. But I'm gonna be running two rhb5's and I want to run 15psi but thats gonna be pushing the limits of these lil snails. It's gonna run me basically 100 for all new bearings(rod,thrust) major gaskets, timing belt. I've got connections otherwise it'd be like double that.

 

block fill it and you can run 15psi and at the track run more and have no problems with a good tuner im doing the same build but filling it and im going over with the bore a little to 300hp is a lot what size turbo you running
