Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/Z6 Long Connecting Rods – High-Strength 4340 Chromoly Steel for 900+ HP Performance

Description

Upgrade your Honda engine with the Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/Z6 Long Connecting Rods, engineered for high-performance applications up to 900 horsepower. Crafted from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature a straight H-beam design that delivers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, essential for demanding engine builds. Each rod undergoes comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes to ensure durability and resistance to fatigue, making them ideal for turbocharged and high-revving engines. The precision manufacturing process includes magna-flux testing for integrity verification, providing peace of mind during extreme operation.
Designed with dual-pin oil passages, these rods promote increased lubrication and enhanced strength, which is critical under high load conditions. The pin end is compatible with most pistons without requiring machining, simplifying installation. The inclusion of bronze wrist pin bushings ensures smooth operation and longevity, while the balanced design (within ±1 gram) reduces engine vibrations, contributing to smoother performance. Each set includes four rods featuring 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and high-quality lube for secure fastening and reliable operation. These long rods are compatible with a range of Honda Civics and Civic Del Sol models from 1989 to 1997, making them a versatile upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their engine’s potential.
With a weight of approximately 510 grams per rod and a length of 138.63mm, the Skunk2 Alpha Series rods are engineered for precision and durability. Whether building a high-boost turbo setup or seeking to increase RPM limits, these rods provide the strength, reliability, and performance consistency necessary for competitive racing and street applications alike.
