yo so wrong sleeves only needed for 600whp an up
my boi making 550whp with just a drag turbo kit, rods, pistons thats it
550 is wayyyy over what i wanted hahaha but is there any " special " procedures or small things to do when driving a engine with stock sleeves and forged internals? my friends told me i gotta wait till my pistons heat up or something like that, i couldnt understand his mumbling :blah: ahhaha

I think what those power goals (350 whp) stock sleeves will do just fine for DD.

youre full of shit...i still havent seen your dyno sheet for your 170 hp ZC....
550 on stock sleeves i doubt with "rods and pistons"...
PLEASE as i have already asked, learn how to type english and fucking not give out false info

b16a2s from what i hear have weak ring landing...why dont you just save up a little more and get GSR swap? i mean if you replacing pistons anyway, go ahead and get larger motor. just my two cents though
