Are sleeved blocks ok to run boost on?

[Yamanator]

Ok guys, just want to know how do feel about sleeving 2 cylinders and then running boost on that motor? I have a block at the machine shop right now getting 2 sleeves put in it and then getting redecked and was just wondering when I get it back is it ok to run 2 head gaskets and 10 pounds of boost on a stage 1 supercharger? I just want to know if the sleeved block will hold up! it should be brand new right? I will have 2 brand new pistons in it and running lower compression, should be fine right? Let me know what your thoughts are because I do have people interested in my supercharger kit, and if you think the motor won't hold up with this setup, I will probably sell it. Thanks for any input, THIS FREAKIN SIGHT ROCKS........................

OH YEAH, THIS IS ON A 04 WARRIOR WITH 2600 MILES ON THE MOTOR.

Just to confirm - you're having 2 steel sleeves put in, or having the cases re-nic'd?

Having the cases re-nic'ed............

Thought so. I've got a whole bunch to say on this topic, but not enough time to get into it right now. The short answer is that yes, there's no reason not to run the re-nic'd block under boost when you get it back, assuming the bores are true.

I've probably re-built somewhere around 50 of these engines to-date. Sometime this week I'll put together a post with a few pic & observations around what I'm seeing.

Do you actually bore the cylinders out and then put in Nickle sleeve's, then deck the block? or do you just re-nick the cylinders? not sure on the proceedure!!!!!!!

Nikasil is an electroplating process. There is no such thing as a 'Nikasil sleeve'.
