Skunk2 Alpha Lite Series Honda D16/ZC Connecting Rods for Civic Si EX CRX 1988-2000

Designed for enhanced performance in lower horsepower applications, this connecting rod improves engine efficiency and reliability. Its narrow beam construction significantly reduces weight, allowing for quick acceleration and responsive handling. Forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, the robust H-beam design ensures a superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it capable of withstanding up to 450+ horsepower while still prioritizing weight reduction.

Advanced engineering techniques, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have been employed to identify high-stress points, optimizing the design to minimize wear and enhance durability. The straight rod design effectively distributes stress across a wider area compared to tapered rods, providing essential support in critical areas. Comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes contribute to the overall strength and consistency of each component.

Incorporating dual oil passages at the pin ends allows for improved lubrication and cooling, further enhancing durability. Strategically positioned offset oil passages ensure optimal lubrication around the entire wrist pin, ensuring efficient operation throughout each engine cycle.
