Default Aftermarket Sleeves/Boring...Piston Preferences

My Acura Integra has the B18B1 Engine and I am looking to bore the cylinders....where can i find aftermarket sleeves that will fit my custom boring? I have checked all over and cannot find anyone who sells them. And what pistons would i get the most compression? Lookin to raise compression to 10.5:1

You have to sleeve first and bore later. Aftermarket sleeves can be bored from 81mm to 85mm.

Why would you want to raise the compression? 9:1-10:1 is the range you should be looking for turbo. If you are going N/A, you want much higher compression than 10.5:1.

Tell us what it is that you are trying to accomplish.

Taking in consideration what you said about the compression, would it be better to just run a turbo setup? Now can I still bore the stock sleeves?....Can I expect a power output range from raising the compression and boring the sleeves to be around or equal to installing a turbo setup? I am trying to build on my stock rebuilt engine and get all around great perfomance, some street racing and all time on demand power.

You are not boring for power since they don't have enough "meat" on them to take any substantial amount of material off. You will have to sleeve if you plan on boring more than 81.5mm. Boring stock sleeves is only done to remove any deep scratches or out-of-round that honing cannot.

As far as your other questions, I can't understand what you are trying to say. You can't compare a turbo setup and a n/a setup...they are two completely different builds with two completely different powerbands.
