    Angry where to resleeve

    I have bee doin so researching on my a20 block, and I want to resleeve it and bore it - I have one place but it is like $800 for it to be done... does anyone know of anyplace that is a little less expensive to go??

    I want the bottom end to be bullet proof, so I can run 20 psi turbo..

    does anyone know where justin(turbo accord) went to have his done?

    the a20 is cast iron and can handle 20lbs no worrys and honda has a natural strong bottem end so nothin is needs to be done to the crank. their cranks are forged backed up with the best crank bearings in the world. but if you would like just get it knifed and have the machine shop check for cracks since the block is 10 years old. i would just advise a rebuild on the motor. and 800 bucks for a sleeve job is a good price.

    Hey listen to Ryer, he seems to know his stuff on turbo set-ups. The A20 block should handle 20psi with no problem. It is a cast iron beast.

    it doesnt have sleeves, newer honda engines have sleeves, anything over '90 has sleeves.
