basic turbo engine build info needed.

held up for 9 months then it saw a 34lb spike on pump gas with the new turbo while running some bikes and knocked a chunk out of the sleeve if i had never let it go over 21 lbs no doubt in my mind it would be running perfectly fine today. I beat on it nearly everday for 9 months

oh damn i think you could have gone past 21psi if it were tuned but how in the heck did you end up with a spike in boost like that,thats like 13psi more. i have seen some write ups a of people using vitaras,eagle rods and arp stuff. running 25-35psi and running this on stock sleeves with a block guard and head work . google it there are write ups on it going back to 07 i think 1 guy in puerto rico claims he was the first to use vitaras in his sohc.

i was planing on building the head and going 28lbs and c16 till that happen and im sure with good tuning it would have held over 21lbs go autoworks has had a stock d15b tuned on 24lbs for over a year and it just now finally let go. and speedfactory 600+whp hatch split sleeve number 3 after making over 30 track passes high 9's

wow but now im convinced a stock sleeved d16 can handle 400whp but 600whp is just nuts. makes me feel pretty confident that my build will hold together pretty well since i wont be near those numbers.
