Best engine...

No one uses Block guards anymore, The only thing the K has over the B is IVTEC and a better cylinder head.

THe K shares alot with the H22 believe it or not.

Bottom line is you just are giving out bad information. The FRM sleeves are FINE. Why do poeple advocate iron sleeves? its because the OEM sleeves whether its FRM OR NOT, fail past 400whp.

if its 400whp an under, stock sleeves, FRM OR NOT, are FINE.

Emminos car makes great power, but he cant rev it high. But he also has a 2.3 liter.

an h22 with the same turbo kit versus Emminos setup, the h22 is better, id rather have DOHC an 1000 more RPMs of powerband, than .1 L.

but what do i know....

Apparently mazda people know more than me when it comes to hondas

I'm not gonna argue the logic of stock pistons failing but please explain warped cylinder sleeves with forged pistons? Why do every other company make iron sleeves for both the H and the B series? Why don't they feel so strongly about the FRM sleeves? Like I said, they aren't ideal for boost and most of them warp after so long. That's why it's best for the F22b bottom end

you are throwing around concepts that it doesnt sound like you understand.

Warped sleeves?

I take it you mean the bore going out of round. That only happens with stock sleeves if the piston is over heated or not tuned properly.

Furthermore, it can happen on IRON sleeves and STOCK SLEEVES with ANY PISTON.

Iron sleeves only mean they can withstand more combustion pressure.

So how many stock h22s have you seen boosted for awhile, then torn down and checked their Piston To wall clearance?

I mean you say they

Like I said, they aren't ideal for boost and most of them warp after so long

YOu must have experience in this area, please enlighten me.

So your argument is:
1) FRM Sleeves are bad because they warp
2) They are weak

Im telling you, you are WRONG.

Yeah right.

Yeah, I guess you're right then because I just did a couple minutes of searching just to find those pictures.

Yeah right.

so because someone ran their car too lean that means the motors suck

LOL you guys kill me
