      Probably not a good idea for boost. There's a reason Darton doesn't bore to 90 for turbo applications.

        It certainly isn't IDEAL for boost, but for the sake of understanding what your goals are a bit more, I want to know your specifics.

        What amount of boost do you intend to run?
        How much will you be getting the shortblock for?
        And I guess I should ask if it is indeed a complete shortblock.
        Is it a 50mm or 55mm main block?

        If your goals are to boost below 15 pounds then it shouldn't be much an ordeal. Typically people who want to sleeve a block for boost have goals set a little more lofty than 15 pounds so the recommendation to stay 89mm and under is with that consideration in mind.

            That sounds like a build I would be a big fan of. A bit on the expensive side though considering you're buying someone else's project.

              What pistons and rods come with the block? $1,500 for a MID sleeved bottom end is a pretty good deal. I would N/A that bish all the way!

                My thoughts exactly. But since he was looking at it from a boost perspective I would assume it had boost friendly pistons in it. But that setup would be right at home in my car.

                  Yeah I try not to ass-u-me anything these days.

                  Knowing what the cc of the dome/dish and the compression height of the pistons would be useful info.
