Crafted from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an innovative H-beam design that delivers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for engines pushing beyond 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with the foundry ensure each rod maintains consistent quality through comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes. This rigorous manufacturing approach results in a highly reliable component capable of withstanding the intense stresses of high-performance applications.\u003cbr\u003eEach Alpha Series rod is forged from two pieces, allowing for precise grain orientation along the rod cap, which significantly enhances strength where it is most needed. The straight design distributes stress evenly across a larger surface area compared to tapered rods, reducing fatigue and wear over time. Dual oil passages at the pin ends provide improved lubrication and cooling, ensuring the wrist pin area is well-protected during engine cycles. These oil passages are strategically positioned to deliver lubrication around the entire wrist pin, contributing to the overall durability of the assembly.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to fit most pistons without additional machining, these rods are shot-peened to further reduce fatigue and are balanced within +\/- 1 gram for smooth operation. They include 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts for secure fastening and bronze wrist pin bushings for reliable wear resistance. Each rod undergoes magna-flux inspection to verify integrity and is rated to handle high-performance demands, making them a trusted choice for serious engine builders and tuners. Whether for street, race, or drag applications, Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B18C Connecting Rods provide the strength, reliability, and performance needed to maximize your engine's potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eForged from 4340 chromoly steel for high strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eH-beam design offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eComprehensive heat treatment, tempering, and shot-peening for consistent quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece forging with precise grain orientation for increased strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDual oil passages at pin ends improve lubrication and cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated to handle engines producing over 900 horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and bronze wrist pin bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMagna-flux inspected for structural integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced within +\/- 1 gram for smooth engine operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with most pistons without machining\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Acura Integra Type R\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078393417927,"sku":"skk306-05-1120","price":496.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/36a8c3dab893e03d906fcd9c69b10ef5.jpg?v=1768175914","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/skunk2-alpha-series-honda-b18c-connecting-rods-forged-4340-chromoly-steel-rated-for-over-900-hp","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
