COMPACT HIGH-OUTPUT ENGINE BLOCK
The S2000 engine block is a one-piece, open-deck aluminum-alloy die casting. Of special note are the block's FRM (Fiber-Reinforced Metal) cylinder liners cast integral with the block. FRM is a composite material consisting of carbon fibers embedded in an aluminum oxide matrix (aluminum oxide is a ceramic material used for spark-plug insulators). As a cylinder lining, FRM offers several advantages over conventional ferrous-metal liners, including lower weight, faster heat transfer and a greater resistance to wear.

iirc you cannot bore the FRM

also people are making 400 hp on stock bottom ends....

 

I dont really hear of anyone boring out the f20 or f22 blocks to sleeve. If anything people increase the stroke.

Stock block has seen 500hp from some turbo people, their was rumors of a 900hp s2000 though.

 

i know what he stock internals can handle. im wondering though if i do rods and pistons, should i go ahead and do sleeves. or are the stock ones safe at 600 whp.

 

i think 69x whp is the record according to the highest hp stock block thread in the FI forums? Thats probally around 800bhp or so...not bad huh??

that doesnt matter its how long it will take a beating...

but its all in the tune... with sleeves it gives the tuner a bigger margin to work with.....
