Hey everyone Im wondering how much stock h22a sleeve can handle? motor will be built with all new internal, mahle gold series 10.0;1 c/r and golden eagle rods, stock bore. stock head and of Crouse arp head studs and all the goods. probably be running a gt35r if funds aren't tight at the time. want at least close or up to 400hp. its going to be a budget build that's why im not planning to sleeve it. car will be a dd. Im j/w what the frm sleeve can handle before considering the build.

 

and yes I have search up my question but couldn't find the answer with forged internal.

 

Golden Eagle does not make connecting rods

and go read the h22 mahle piston thread... lots of issues with the pistons not fitting rods

 

We have a stock H22A4 making 450 whp for the last year, and those are open deck blocks. I put together his closed deck H22A block with Mahle pistons and Eagle rods, and we're pretty sure 600 whp is definitely doable. 400 won't be any problem for that setup.

 

frm sleeves can actually handle more power than steel cyls. the only problem is that frm cyls chew up piston rings much faster than steel cyls. so it's not a question of power ability, but rather a question of life expectancy

 

^this, I'm glad you brought that point up as many know about coated pistons with FRM sleeves but don't realize the rings are still steel... I think Mahle coats the edges of their rings though right? Don't quote me on that because I'm not sure.

I would imagine Honda was using a special material for the rings for the FRM motors
