    Default Sleeves???

    I have a b16a2 and im gonna completely build it and then soon after go with a turbonetics turbo kit or a mainstream turbo kit. Im gonna go for a goal of 275-300whp. Probably at around 10psi. Since im gonna have the motor completely apart, should i get some new sleeves? If so what brand? I just wanna do it right the first time.

    anything above 475 and i would reccommend aftermarket sleeves, you can go more than that but you start livin on the edge. If you go aftermarket sleeves, Golden Eagle is where its at.

    cant beat golden for the price and have yet to see any evidence that there's arent as good as any others out there.

    but for your power range get a blockguard and you'll be more than fine

    Look at the Peakboost kits or Full-Race

    I just looked up the peakboost kit ($3999) and the full-race B Series AC Stage 1($3999) or B Series AC Stage 2($4,249). By way the kit has to be ac and ps compatible cause its a DD. I might as well pay a little more money and get one of those kits. They make more power anyways and probably better quality than turbonetics kits.

    im a full-race distributor too so i can get it cheaper than their advertised price. just let me know what kit your looking at , i can get a price for you.

    Full-Race is THE best kit you can buy. i just sold one for a GSR too
