Hey Y'all, I'm going to be rebuilding my de motor and considering going with Darton mid sleeves. I plan on making 700+ hp with turbos, cams, etc., and E85. Should I sleeve the block or not?

 

Amother 700+ HP build thread being moved to a more appropriate forum. Maybe you'll get some knowledgeable opinions if you post what your current budget is, and what kind of mechanical skills you bring to the party.

 

I'm not sure anyone has had a positive experience with sleeves on a DE. You may want to look at CSS block guards. If your feeling supper spicy you could do what some of the Honda Boys do and put that sealant **** in to make a semi closed block.

 

As mentioned above - what is your budget for this build?

Tell us about your turbo system that you have (or youre going to build)?

What fuel setup do you have(or are you planning on)?

What clutch / flywheel setup do you have (or are you planning on)?

Have you upgraded your radiator? Oil Cooler?
