Rebuild/Build the internals and the block and replace all parts with new parts. After that, you'll have yourself a clean and fresher engine, imo.
SR's generally can handle that much power/boost but with that money, you're better off going with a different platform. The amount of money spent on building a 400whp SR with supporting mods can get expensive. I mean if you want easy power, go V8. With the money that you're willing to spend on a SR, just go with a V8.

Well I'm not looking for the cheapest way to get 400hp, I just wanted to see if i could make an sr20 reliable at that power. I already have all supporting mods, my car made 408whp before it spun the bearing. But it had all stock internals, so I figured while I'm in there id just build it.
As for a V8, I'm not a huge fan for some reason. I have a supercharged lt1 camaro, and its just not fun, Ive ridden in an ls1 rx7 and they don't feel as good as a turbo 4 cyl. Even my non turbo aw11 MR2 with a 4age is more fun than the stupid fast camaro. I guess I just like driving cars with small motors. They feel hyper, like they are ready to go, and when boost comes on they just scream.
(sorry for that long rant. lol)

an SR's stock bottom end can handle up to 500hp
building an SR's internals will not take 5K

So would I be safe with just forged pistons once the crank is machined?
And the most money goes to having someone build it. I would feel much better having a reputable shop build a motor that they have built a hundred times before, than me do it in my garage.
