Default Question: LS Buildup
Ok here is my current thoughts...

I have a 91 LS motor. Now i want to build it to hold about 25 psi of boost (maximum). Meaning for track use only, yes she will be a street driven car, probably pushing maybe 9-11 psi on the street. Now i want to go with Darton Sleeves maybe with a 83mm Bore and keep the stock crank.
Now my real question is: Who makes good sleeves and whose sleeves suck? Just wanna know from peoples personal use and experience, and what combo of forged pistons and rods should i look into? Your input is much appricated thanks

sorry dude this isn't an H22. on B series 84.5 is the biggest bore you should go.

i say you should

Sleeves (AEBS or Darton)
Rods (pauter or Crower)
Pistions (JE) http://www.importperformanceparts.net/
(this site has killer deals on rod and piston combos!)


What kind of fuel setup are you looking into?

Are you going Ls Vtec?

I am having AEBS sleeves installed on my GSR motor they hold up to 55psi of air, PM Boostfed (terry) he has darton sleeves to see how he likes them (i know he loves them). any more questions?

i have golden eagle sleeves, arias forged pistons w/total seal piston rings, and crower rods. i'd say go with the 84.5mm bore, crower rods, and either arias or je forged pistons. i'd also would go with darton sleeves, i have a back up block with darton sleeves in case something should happen. AEB sleeves are great but too pricey for my taste.

It is all in who you know

I have never really been a fan of golden eagle after what i heard happened to terry i don't want to take that kind of risk, and be out all kinds of money.

First off, the larger bore you use the more prone to detonation your engine will be. Secondly, if you use an 86mm bore yoiu are basically leaving yourself no room to overbore and rehone if your engine decideds to let go.

That is just simply not a true statement. It is possible and proven realiable to use a larger bore.
