Skunk2 Racing Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods (Part Number 306-05-1160)

Description

The Skunk2 Racing Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods are engineered for high-performance applications, delivering exceptional strength and durability. Crafted from high-quality 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an advanced H-beam design that optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for engines producing up to 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with the foundry ensure consistent quality, with comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes that enhance fatigue resistance and overall integrity. Each rod undergoes magna-flux inspection to verify structural soundness, adhering to Skunk2’s strict manufacturing standards.

Designed with precision, the Alpha Series rods utilize a two-piece forging process that aligns the grain structure along the stress axis, significantly increasing strength and longevity. The FEA (Finite Element Analysis) guided design identifies and reinforces high-stress areas, while the straight, non-tapered profile distributes stress evenly across the entire length. Dual oil passages at the pin ends provide superior lubrication and cooling, essential for high-revving, high-performance engines. The rods are balanced to within one gram to ensure smooth operation, and feature bronze wrist pin bushings for reliable, low-friction movement. Compatibility with most pistons without additional machining makes these rods a versatile choice for engine builders seeking reliability and power.

Suitable for 2000 Honda Civic and 1999 Honda Civic models, these rods come complete with 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and lube, ensuring secure fastening and optimal performance. The combination of advanced manufacturing techniques, meticulous quality control, and thoughtful design features make the Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods an excellent upgrade for serious enthusiasts and professional engine builders aiming for maximum horsepower and durability in their engine builds.
