Default Engine Build

ok.....so i picked up another s2k for 500 bucks....yea lol.....i know. but the only problem is that the motor is locked up completely. so, i took on the duty of bringing this thing back to life. im about to start on the build in a couple of days, its gonna take a while....im 20....not exactly rich....but have alot of time on my hands. i just dropped the block off at white performance machine in TN to have the block bored .020 and honed. the next step is where you guys come in. what parts have you found that can make this thing a straight killer? it will be boosted, keep that in mind, i already have all the parts for that, i was about to boost mine. so all help is appreciated, thanks guys!

ack. The s2000 block isnt supposed to be bored/honed, since its FRM lined..

I'd look at getting a cheap used block off a wrecked car if I was you

FRM-lined cylinder can usually be bored up to 0.020" but it is a more complicated and intensive procedure than doing say a ductile iron sleeved block.
Having the block sleeved will increase your options regarding pistons. With a FRM-lined cylinder you basically have only two piston options, those being OEM Honda items or custom Mahle Gold pistons.
