The Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B18A/B Connecting Rods are engineered for high-performance applications, featuring forged 4340 chromoly steel construction that offers exceptional strength and durability. Designed with an H-beam configuration, these rods provide an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for engines producing over 900 horsepower. Skunk2's extensive material testing and collaboration with foundries ensure each rod maintains consistent quality, incorporating comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes to enhance fatigue resistance and overall integrity.
These rods are precision-machined from two-piece forgings, which align the grain structure along the stress direction, significantly boosting strength and durability. The straight design distributes stress more evenly across the length of the rod compared to tapered alternatives, reducing wear and improving longevity. Dual oil passages at the pin ends facilitate superior lubrication and cooling, ensuring the wrist pin remains well-lubricated during demanding engine cycles. The offset positioning of these passages allows for uniform lubrication around the entire wrist pin, further supporting engine reliability.
Manufactured with high-quality components such as 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and bronze wrist pin bushings, these rods are shot-peened to reduce fatigue and magna-flux inspected for structural integrity. Each set is balanced to within ±1 gram to ensure smooth engine operation and is compatible with most pistons without requiring additional machining. With a length of approximately 5.4 inches (137 mm), these rods are a perfect fit for specific Honda and Acura engines, providing a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and durability in their builds.
Whether you're building a naturally aspirated or forced induction setup, the Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B18A/B Connecting Rods deliver the strength, precision, and reliability needed to handle high horsepower levels while maintaining excellent durability over time.
