I'd saty away from block posting. The posts seem to loosen up over time and then serve no function. Sleeving a block by ERL, Golden Eagle, AEBS, or Bensons is a much better idea.

If tuned properly 350whp - 375whp with stock B series sleeves is fine. No need for posting or a block guard.

Alpha is right, however, I would put in the block guard just for the added safety and piece of mind.

Atleast tell the people new to turbo Honda's why your sleeves cracked

InsaneCivicSedan was tuned for 18lbs if I remember correctly. His boost spiked to 34lbs at 6,000RPM - 7,600RPM. This happened on a COUPLE occasions. The sleeves actually held the times before this.
