Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/ZC Connecting Rods – Forged 4340 Chromoly Steel for High-Performance Engines

Description

The Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/ZC Connecting Rods are engineered for demanding performance applications, offering exceptional strength and durability. Crafted from high-quality 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an H-beam design that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for engines producing over 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with foundries ensure each rod meets strict quality standards, with comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes that enhance fatigue resistance and overall integrity.
Each rod is magna-fluxed to verify structural integrity and prevent potential failures, ensuring reliability under high-stress conditions. The innovative two-piece forging process aligns the grain structure along the stress lines, significantly increasing the strength of the rod, especially at the cap. The straight H-beam configuration distributes stress evenly across a broad area, reducing wear and extending service life. Dual oil passages at the pin ends improve lubrication and cooling, delivering oil efficiently around the wrist pin during each engine cycle, which contributes to increased durability and performance.
Designed to fit Honda Civic del Sol models from 1992 to 1995 and Honda Civic models from 1993 to 1995, these rods are compatible with most pistons without additional machining. Each set includes four rods equipped with 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and bronze wrist pin bushings for enhanced securing and lubrication. The rods are balanced within a tolerance of ±1 gram, ensuring smooth engine operation and reducing vibrations. With a weight of approximately 509 grams per rod and an overall length of 5.39 inches, these connecting rods are a critical upgrade for high-horsepower Honda engines. Engineered for performance, durability, and precision, the Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/ZC Connecting Rods are ideal for serious enthusiasts seeking to maximize their engine’s potential without compromising reliability.
