You might as well skip n/a and go straight turbo. Not sure if you're going to tailor the rod/stroke ratio for the two, but it can get expensive...

 

If AEBS knows it's for a daily driver, they're not going to fill the deck. Besides there are many OEM turbo setups that run closed deck, look at the 4G63.

 

a shop that warranties race motors? hmmm lucky. most shops i know wont warranty it once you tell them its going to be a race motor

 

i thought their t-sleeves only came in closed deck

 

maybe just a warrenty against sleeve sinking :dunno: i've seen a few shops offer that.

 

well i'm not to motor savvy i'm still learning, but my friend who works for honda as a A+ Technician is giving me alot of advice. i know i'm port and polishing, new valves, springs and retainers, new srp pistons, rings h-beam connecting rods from eagle. also got a block guard, cams cam gear, lighten fly wheel, upgraded ignition & fuel. i mean the list goes on and on,

 

personal preference but i'd choose different pistons and rods. and a block guard isnt necessary with new sleeves.

 

yea its been a toss up for a while, but going turbo seems like the best idea. the money isn't the issue, just having something realible is.

 

I didn't know that AEBS offered an option. I thought they always used a closed deck design.

As far as the 4G63, it was a cast iron block up until 2004. I always took the stand point that it was designed to be turbocharged, the block is much stronger. Heat will warp an aluminum block much quicker.

 

yea thats what i meant, aluminum block experience and such as well.

but i'm with ap2, skip the all motor step.
