Sleaving the B16a

system · January 31, 2002, 4:39pm

I am going to build the B16 for turbo, but im affraid of the cylinder walls cracking. I am going to be boosting high and the hp goal is to be getting 350-400 whp. I allready have plans on getting je forged pistons whith a 9:1 cr, and eagle rods. I am really interested in Golden Eagle Manufacturing. I want to put the iron sleeves in but dont know of any shops in New York that does this. Has anyone else sleeved their engine in the NY area? My car will be daily driven so I need it to be reliable. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

How much is it costing you to get them sleeved?

$750 for the basic service…then tax is $829… then shipping which is another $40, but you get sleeving, decking, and o-ringing…so its not too bad, considering the block will handel all the boost you can put to it (with proper tuning and fuel) so best of luck

Thats not to bad, it’s always good to feel secure when your boostin. Do they have any online site I could go check out, or did you call them?

Thanks for the replies

Do they cause extra to bore the cylinder out to 84 mm?

This what Vince emailed me back. "To get your block sleeved will be $750.00 . That includes us sleeving your block ( same price from 81 - 85 mm ), decking ( two options - step-deck or O-ring ) and cleaning. Our turn around is about 7 - 9 working days. Bore and hone adds about 5 days to the turn around time and is an additional $125.00 and we need the pistons to do this. Shipping will usually run about $60 - $70 one way, maybe less.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call (909) 592 - 4311 or e-mail anytime.

Thanks for your interest and hope to hear from you soon. 

Regards, 
        Vince Tiaga"
