where can i get my block sleeved? i'm still learning, i know alot about engines, but not everything...but what that was leading up to is what is sleeving the block? it's probably exactly what it sounds like but just trying to understand more so i can adventually reach my goals and actually know how to fix anything that goes wrong at the same time...

 

www.z10eng.com for AEBS sleeves - what I have.

Other sleeves to consider are Benson and Darton.

Look here for what sleeves look like: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=142746

 

yeah it's exactly what i thought it was...j/c though how long would it be ok to run a turbo with the AEM EMS on stock internals at 8psi?

not trying to go for my goal until after i'm out of school which will be at most another year and a half... but it would be fun to have a quicker car in the mean time cuz it's just not meeting my adrenaline junky needs anymore!

 

Depends on how hard you drive it. On the stock compression you should be just fine for a while at 8psi if you're not balls-to-the-wall all the time. You'd need to always run premium gas and be sure to have someone that is reputable tune the car. They would be able to tell you what you can expect from the life of the car with that setup and boost level.

 

Also golden eagle has great prices on sleeving blocks. check with camp1320.com ask for tom. I just got my block done a few weeks ago, it's looks sweet... camp1320 is also on hondatech.com a lot.

Stock sleeves are good for about 400whp or so (depending on turbo size) i've seen people push them over 500whp but IMO 400whp+ you should start looking into sleeves. 300whp is fine with stock sleeves and stock internals.

 

i'm going tomorrow to talk to a guy who specializes in honda-acura car's tomorrow, cuz he helped tune my friends car. I'm gonna get the EMS first, but probably wait to install it after i get the money for everything...also i'm pretty bad about going balls to the wall too often so i may have to wait for the turbo...j/c if i got a DART block would it be able to hold up as apposed to getting my block sleeved cuz i can't go without my car for too long or i'll go crazy and i think it would take less time to just get a new block than to sleeve my current one...

 

RC 1000cc injectors, Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, AEM EMS, Crane Cams HI-6 ignition box and MSD plus wires, Crane LS92 external ignition coil with a MSD cap conversion kit to external coil.

 

Ah, yes. I knew I'd forgotten another good one. Thanks for adding that. I've dealt with camp1320 before. I got my main/rod/thrust bearings from them (ACL). Good guys... Tom's his name I believe.

 

450cc injectors are good for about 260-275whp. The drag kit will support more power than your stock block can handle, so don't worry about that. AEM EMS, what a stupid idea, period, for any application. First find out who is going to tune your car, and see what they reccomend. The S300b MIGHT be a good option after another year or two, but it is foolish to be the first group of persons to guinea pig a new system.

typically, I prefer to build a kit from other used kits. Like pick up a used drag kit, and then replace what you want to upgrade. If you are new to turbo/modding cars then I would suggest buying a full kit that will allow you to upgrade as you grow more knowledgable.

So, the first thing you should do is find a local reputable tuner, and see what he reccomends.

oh i know plenty of tuners, i'm not set on anything except the turbo kit just b/c it's a good place to start and work from... cuz i want a t3/t4. Unless someone knows a good place with cheap prices on piecing together a turbo kit...

also i don't feel like having to get all the conversion harnesses and other crap to run hondata cuz that's a pain in the ass!

does anybody know anything about turbonetics kits, more or less just looking for if they're better than a drag kit to put on my car cuz they seem to be more complete than drag kits???
