yep it works, i saw a low 13 second d16 run with the ghetto sleeve job.

i was impressed. would i do it? nah... but i give mad props for those making power for cheap!

i know that people swear by this,not sure if i would do it,but who knows.it kinda makes sense to me,but in a way it doesnt,bc i mean it doesnt really strengthen the sleeves,and thats what you are trying to reinforce...

Hmm, that's pretty cool. This and the block posting method together would make a really ghetto sleeve job.

Just beacuse you do something yourself it is not ghetto. Domestic guys have been doing this for a long time, and the import guys are just catching on.

i think the people who have actually tested and tried the idea agree otherwise... sure theres always people that are going to disagree that its not the way the "pros" do it.. but you have to remember that the pros have money.. we dont.

ive personally seen a motor ghetto filled running mad boost. i dont know how long it ran, if it still runs, or anything like that.. but i know i saw it run down the line and pull a sick 13 sec et.

I wonder if the filler has a different thermal expantion rate than the sleeves.

 

[Dr.Anus]

^Definitely my concern with the filler method. The post method is supposed to have the same.

thats why you get the devcon, it has the same expansion rate as the block. same with the posts

Are you 100% sure of that?

 

[io_303]

i am 100% on the posts, and 99% on the block filler

The posts I know but with the filler the more I think about it the less of a problem thermal expansion is.

Why do this if the stock block can hold a good amt of power anyways. 13 sec block filled D-series? We were doing low 12s with a basic turbo kit on stock motors back in 1996 at 10psi. You dont need Posting, block fillers or block guards. They are overrated.
