The Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda D16/ZC connecting rods are engineered for high-performance applications, offering exceptional strength and durability for demanding engines. Crafted from select 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an advanced H-beam design that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for engines producing over 900 horsepower. Extensive material testing and collaboration with the foundry ensure high-quality manufacturing, while comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes maintain consistent strength and fatigue resistance. Each rod undergoes magna-flux inspection to verify structural integrity, reflecting Skunk2's commitment to quality and safety.
Designed with precision, these rods utilize two-piece forgings that align the grain structure along the stress lines, significantly increasing strength. The straight, non-tapered design distributes stress evenly across the entire length, reducing wear and enhancing durability during high-stress operation. Dual oil passages at the pin ends improve lubrication and cooling, ensuring consistent performance across engine cycles. These features help prevent wear and extend the lifespan of the rods, especially in high-power environments.
The rods are compatible with most pistons without requiring machining at the pin end, and they include 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts for reliable clamping force. Bronze wrist pin bushings further reduce friction and wear, while balanced to within plus or minus 1 gram for smooth operation. With a length of approximately 5.4 inches and a weight of around 17.9 ounces per rod, the Skunk2 Alpha Series rods are a trusted choice for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and engine reliability. Suitable for Honda Civic del Sol and Civic models from 1992 to 1995, these rods are ideal for racing, turbocharged, and high-performance builds, delivering the strength needed to push your engine to its limits.
