Designed specifically for B-series and H-series VTEC engines, these retainers are crafted from medical-grade titanium to deliver a significant reduction in valvetrain mass, approximately 42% lighter than OEM steel retainers. This weight reduction translates into increased horsepower, improved valvetrain stability, and higher engine RPM capabilities. Featuring radius-cut edges, these retainers provide increased rocker arm clearance and facilitate better valve seal clearance, optimizing engine efficiency. Strategically placed lightening grooves further contribute to weight savings without compromising strength, all while maintaining durability under high-performance conditions. Each retainer undergoes rigorous testing using advanced 3D CAD and FEA techniques, ensuring optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Manufactured with precision CNC machining, each piece is individually inspected for proper hole diameter, taper, and free from machining defects, guaranteeing precise fitment and reliable operation. Skunk2 engineers validate their designs on engine dynos and race tracks, with testing conducted at engine speeds exceeding 11,000 rpm, ensuring these retainers meet demanding performance standards. Each retainer is serialized, including detailed information about material batch, production, and inspection dates, providing assurance of quality and traceability. Compatible with a range of Honda and Acura models including the Civic del Sol and Prelude from 1994 to 2001, these retainers are ideal for enthusiasts seeking to maximize engine performance with reliable, high-quality components. When paired with Skunk2's Tuner or Pro Series valve springs, these titanium retainers contribute to a high-performance valvetrain setup that sustains reliability during spirited driving or race conditions. Skunk2's in-house design, development, and testing processes ensure every component meets the highest standards, making these retainers a trusted choice for performance-focused builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTitanium construction offers a 42% weight reduction compared to OEM steel retainers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for B-series and H-series VTEC engines including B16A\/B17\/B18C and H22A\/F20B\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRadius-cut edges for increased rocker arm clearance and improved valve seal\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStrategically placed lightening grooves for optimal weight savings and strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufactured using advanced 3D CAD and FEA analysis for durability and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecision CNC machined and individually inspected for quality assurance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSerialized for traceability, including batch, production, and inspection details\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Skunk2 Tuner and Pro Series valve springs for high-performance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEngineered and tested in-house with applications on dynos and racing environments\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 Honda Prelude VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Honda Civic del Sol VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 Honda Prelude VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Honda Civic del Sol VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 Honda Prelude VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 Honda Civic del Sol VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 Honda Prelude VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Honda Civic del Sol VTEC\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Honda Prelude Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 Honda Prelude Type SH\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Honda Prelude Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 Honda Prelude Type SH\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 Honda Prelude Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 Honda Prelude Type SH\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Honda Civic Si\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Honda Prelude Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 Honda Prelude Type SH\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Acura Integra GS-R\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Acura Integra Type R\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Honda Prelude Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 Honda Prelude Type SH\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078389223623,"sku":"skk308-05-0300","price":251.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/ffd3d1ee2c43956425a9d68a0b8fd2c0.jpg?v=1768175810","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/skunk2-racing-pro-series-titanium-retainers-for-honda-acura-b16a-b17-b18c-h22a-f20b-engines","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
