Krzys Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Right then, been looking around the net as you do, notice that when people turbo their Civic's they go on about Darton sleeves.I know they go in the block, but some daft questions are about to come Do you need different sized pistons? I assume it'll need running in either way?Also are there any other benefits to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 what ever size you want and are for upto 700 +bhp applications need machine work also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Would you say they would be needed for supercharging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Best apeaking to rich as he done this to his turbo mb6. I don't think you need them for a supercharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah I'll wait for Rich's input! I don't think supercharging has the same DET issues as turbocharging? I'm probably wrong though but that's why I'm asking! If it was a case of forged pistons and rods to do the job then that would be spot on! I already know what I want to do top end! I just need to know what bottom end components need strengthening so that she'll be reliable! Would rather do it once and do it right!

beastgtir Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Don't need to do nothing of the sort for anything upto 400 ponies on a b18c4.my friend had a darton lined block and oil pump killed the engine!!! We threw in a new engine n box from a low mileage donor car, slapped on an even bigger turbo manifold, intercooler etc.car runs around 300 ponies all day long without any problems. (has only had a road tune so no graphs but the tuner has mapped plenty of cars and ones with similiar spec were around that power).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nice! So literally a stock bottom end, no forged pistons or owt then? What about if I modified the head as well so she'd rev higher as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
