Skunk2 Racing Pro Series Titanium Retainers for Honda/Acura B16A/B17/B18C/H22A/F20B Engines

Description

Upgrade your Honda or Acura engine with the Skunk2 Racing Pro Series Titanium Retainers, designed for B-series and H-series VTEC engines. These retainers are engineered to significantly reduce valvetrain mass, which translates to increased horsepower and enhanced valvetrain stability during high-performance driving. Crafted from premium titanium, they are 42% lighter than OEM steel retainers, helping to reduce overall engine weight and improve engine responsiveness. Each retainer features radius-cut edges for better rocker arm clearance and incorporates strategically placed lightening grooves to maximize weight savings without sacrificing strength. The reduced height ensures optimal valve seal clearance, further enhancing engine efficiency.

Skunk2’s manufacturing process combines advanced 3D CAD modeling and FEA analysis to optimize each retainer for maximum strength and minimal weight. Rigorous testing on engine dynos and race tracks ensures each component can withstand extreme conditions, including engines spinning up to 17,000 rpm in superbike applications. Only medical-grade titanium, ultrasonically inspected and certified, is used in production. After CNC machining, each retainer undergoes meticulous inspection to verify hole diameter, taper, and defect-free surfaces, ensuring reliable fitment and consistent performance. To provide added security and traceability, every retainer is serialized with detailed material and manufacturing information.

Designed to pair seamlessly with Tuner Series or Pro Series valve springs, these titanium retainers are ideal for enthusiasts seeking to maximize engine performance while maintaining reliability. Suitable for a wide range of Honda and Acura models, including the Honda Civic del Sol and Prelude from 1994 to 2001, this set of 16 retainers offers a comprehensive upgrade for high-revving engines. Skunk2’s in-house development and testing guarantee that each component meets stringent quality standards, supporting your vehicle’s performance on both the street and the race track.
