Default Going Turbo

Hey whats up. I am fixing to put a T3/T4 turbo setup on my D16Y8 in my '97 Civic Ex.I plan oninstalling Darton Sleeves in the block to protect against a Blown motor. Im only planning on running 7-8 pounds of boost but I have learned that it is better to be safe. I was wondering if anyone has done this or has any advice. Thanks.

no need to run Darton Sleeves if you only running 7-8lbs of boost. Good thing to do is though go by some ARP head bolts, and a COMETIC head gasket would also be good. And if you are going do it right by getting bigger fuel injectors and fuel pump, with the boost your running you won't make the power over 400whp so you dont need to change your fuel rail. your stock fuel railis good for 400hp just keep that in mind where u dont go blow money on fuel rail and stuff.
