So I am down a considerable amount on one of my cylinders for compression and am starting to look into what I want to do for a budget friendly rebuild. I know obviously a traditional AEBS or Darton mid/wet sleeve is the best on the market but it costs a pretty penny to have them purchased and installed. My first initial thought was to do the expensive mhale stock frm sleeve piston but regardless the car will most likely need a cylinder bore and it gets sketchy depending on who you talk to. Also the selection of compatiable parts is not limitless like in a traditional B or K series. My engine builder and Honda mastertech suggested honing out the stock FRM sleeves and doing the $300 Darton Dry Sleeve. I know that is what the FRM lined H series guys do alot. That way we can purchase just a normal reasonable BC H-Beam rod or another good budget rod and a 11.0:1 CP forged piston. Just looking for something reasonable priced that can hold up to 700/750hp max with more flexability than the FRM stuff.

Anyone on here have any experience with these sleeves and what can I expect for a good reliable power range. The car is at 500whp right now and should be in the 650whp range in the near future.

Thanks for any imput you guys and girls can offer!

 

You can't go wrong with Darton I had them on my evo awesome never let me downThat being said I have heard of a few people on here use the dry sleeve and loved them

 

I know some guys who have used them. They put down around 700hp or so with no problem.

 

I have the darton dry sleeves in my motor. About 2,000 miles on them no issues at all.

 

Nice man! What did you do for internals?

 

Brian Crower rods, cp 9.6:1 pistons, acl bearings.

 

I have them on my car 520 on pump 715 on q16 at 27psi for about 15,000 miles

 

I'm also using them making 500 on pump and 604 on c16 haven't kept up with miles but I got tuned on April 2011 and car still running perfect

 

Nice keep em coming guys

 

Wow, I wouldn't have think many people are pushing them this hard
