Hi All !
As having a missfortune with my Darton Sleeves apperantly leaking coolant into the Oil pan just after only 100KM after rebuild, i was thinking of not taking a chance on dogi install again, and rebuilding on a new block keeping the OEM Sleeves.
I aim for about 400-500 HP, Probably around 8000RPM and a max of 30PSI ocationaly.
Daily drive for most of the time on lower boost setting.
What types of reliable long term power figures do you guys get/got/heard of somone getting, on a safe 86.5mm or 87mm bore with a SR20DET - with stock sleeves ?
How much boost would be safe to run on OEM Sleeves , and what bore size ?
Allso, why was i and others tempted to install sleeves ? To tell the truth, i was told that above "this" and "that" i will need them, but come to think of it, i never heard of any type of failure, because sleeves were not instlalled.
Has any of you heard of such failures, and what exactly happend and why ?
Hopping to save some head akes and money, this time around,
Thanks,
Dany.
