Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B18C Connecting Rods – Forged 4340 Chromoly Steel, Rated for 900+ HP

Description

Upgrade your Honda B18C engine with Skunk2 Racing’s Alpha Series Connecting Rods, engineered for high-performance applications up to 900 horsepower. Crafted from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods combine strength and lightweight design, featuring an H-beam configuration that ensures optimal stress distribution during high RPM and power output. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with the foundry guarantee high-quality, consistent rods that meet rigorous standards. Each rod undergoes comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes to enhance durability and fatigue resistance, while magna-flux inspection confirms structural integrity and defect-free manufacturing.
Designed with a two-piece forging process, these rods achieve excellent grain orientation along the cap, significantly increasing strength and wear resistance. The straight H-beam design reduces stress concentrations compared to tapered alternatives, providing reliable performance under demanding conditions. Incorporated dual oil passages at the pin ends improve lubrication and cooling, which are critical during extreme engine cycles, helping to extend component lifespan. The precision fit between the rod and cap eliminates the need for brittle materials or machining, ensuring a perfect fit and robust operation. Compatible with most pistons without additional modifications, these rods are a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their engine’s potential.
Each set includes four rods, fitted with 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and bronze wrist pin bushings for superior strength and smooth operation. Weighing approximately 510 grams per rod and balanced to within one gram, these components are designed for optimal engine balance and performance consistency. Whether building a high-horsepower street engine or a track-ready setup, Skunk2 Alpha Series Connecting Rods provide the durability and strength necessary for extreme power applications while maintaining precision engineering and quality assurance.
