The Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods are engineered for maximum strength and durability in high-performance applications. Forged from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an H-beam design that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for engines handling over 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with foundries ensure each rod meets rigorous quality standards, with comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes that enhance fatigue resistance and structural integrity.
Designed through nearly three years of development and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), these rods distribute stress evenly across their straight H-beam structure, reducing wear and increasing durability. The two-piece forging technique aligns the grain structure along the stress direction, significantly elevating the strength at critical points such as the rod cap. Dual oil passages at the pin ends facilitate superior lubrication and cooling, which contributes to the overall longevity and performance of the connecting rods. Each set is magna-fluxed to ensure no hidden flaws, and balanced to within one gram for smooth engine operation.
These rods are compatible with most pistons without requiring machining, making installation straightforward. They include 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts, bronze wrist pin bushings, and are shot-peened for stress reduction. The design features a fat H-beam that offers high strength without adding unnecessary weight, and the offset oil passages help deliver lubrication and cooling during each engine cycle. Whether you are building a high-boost turbo engine or a naturally aspirated build demanding maximum power, the Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B16A Connecting Rods deliver exceptional performance and reliability for your Honda Civic 2000 and 1999 models.
