a) don't sleeve the motor unless your going for real big power
b) don't go as low as 7.5 compression, the car will drive like **** off boost
c) lay off the drugs, or get laid. or both.

b) Cut back on the wacking
c) Pull your finger out of your *** and go do something with yourself
Ok this is getting WAAAAAAAY out of hand. Lets start this over shall we? Hello my name is Joe, I am a soldier stationed on Ft Drum, I have been building performance cars since I was 18(sigh 10 years) and have recently gotten a boosted 350Z and am looking to A) Do a nice rebuilt low compression motor. B) Raise my boost a bit. C) Enjoy the car for years to come.
IslandZavage; Thank you for the info, I was unaware the VQ's dont like being sleeved, I've sleeved almost every engine I have rebuild with outstanding power, efficiency, and reliability/durability results. Many of the worlds top performing cars are sleeved from the factory and when race prepped(C5/C6R *drool)
And isnt the VQ38 sleeved? I think I remember comming across a thread on here about it

Lots of us had horrible experience with sleeved engines, they just don't seem to go well with the VQ and head lift seems to happen more often than not. No one really even runs sleeves on road race or street cars anymore due to the stock sleeve engines being able to hold 800whp.
I was going to "O" ring my sleeved engine after it failed but I just gave up on in and now I am just building a stock bore 3.5L hopefully that goes better for me.

Hmmmm interesting, I wonder why the VQ doesnt like being sleeved. And if your running a stock sleeved engine then your still running an engine that has been sleeved.

This quote says your "halfway through a complete rebuild" and that makes you a liar if now your saying the machine shop is awaiting your "word".I didn't bash you for your obvious lack of automotive knowledge,but when you contradict yourself and no one points it out it's time for me to post.
i'm sure your more than able to have someone sleeve your motor.....gl with that.

As far as I know there is not a HG with fire rings availible for big bore (100mm) VQs, I did however try a Cometic Phuzion gasket that has an expanding gas filled ring. The OEM HR head gaskets (95.5-96mm) do have a fire ring so they are becoming fairly common in builds now.

Any engine that is aluminum will have some sort of steel sleeve/liner as far as I know. Then engine I am building will have OEM cylinder bores, to be clear the majority of aftermarket sleeved engines seem to have issues however the OEM blocks bored .020 over don't seem to have issues some have even held 800whp. Some of the big power drag cars do seem to use aftermarket sleeved blocks with no issues.
