can anyone tell me what would be cost effiecent for an LX plans are NA, maybe pistons and rods in the future, either custom or otherwise and a little nitrous use if I decide to put the kit on

i would think sleeving the block would be more for forced induction than an NA motor. The massive increase in cylinder pressure (in the combustion chamber) would definitely call for sleeves. i dun think sleeving the block would be necessary for NA application since there will not be a dramatic increase in cylinder pressure....so if you plan on later going with nitrous i'd (personally) sleeve for precaution and also to up the shot for extra advantage[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, both are a good idea to us. Block gaurd is a must for force induction. Sleeving is also good with certin types of ring and pistons. I can't rember off the top of my head but there certain metls (spelling need to sleep...) that hold up good under boost but cause extra wear on normal cylinder walls.

Hey what does sleeving the block mean?

do they make block guard for the D17 01 civic ex?

Sleeving a block is making the cylinder walls stronger but putting in better material. what they do is bore out the old one to with in a few thousands of an inch. heat it up to about 500 degrees C, this expands the metal, and the put the new cylinder wall, that is a few thousands of an inch bigger then what they just bored out. normaly this wouldn't fit but thats why they heat it up, it is now expanded and the new cylinder wall is smaller then the holes they bore and they slide it in and let it cool down the metal goes back to the normal bore size and it is super tight fit now with much stronger material that can handle increased pressure. Thats the quick and dirty version of it.
