{"product_id":"d16-vitara-spec-no-notch-long-connecting-rods","title":"D16 Vitara Spec No-Notch Long Connecting Rods","description":"The SpeedFactory Racing D16 Vitara Spec No-Notch Long Connecting Rods are engineered to simplify and enhance Vitara piston turbo D16 builds, which are popular for their cost-effectiveness and performance. Traditionally, these builds required standard length rods with extensive block and girdle notching, or custom longer rods that still demanded significant modification. These SpeedFactory rods eliminate that hassle.\n\nOptimized for Vitara D16 applications, these rods are substantially lighter than comparable alternatives, offering improved compression, efficiency, and throttle response by bringing the pistons to the correct deck height. The construction utilizes 2-piece forged 4340 chromoly steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. Each rod undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process including heat treatment, magnafluxing, CNC machining, and shot-peening to relieve stress and ensure precision.\n\nThese rods come standard with 3\/8” ARP2000 rod bolts, rated to 220,000 psi, and include installation instructions and ARP lube. They are profiled to clear factory girdles and require zero block notching, making installation significantly easier.\n\nSpecifications include a center-to-center length of 138.63mm (5.458”), a pin end bore of 19.02mm (0.748”), and a big end bore of 48mm (1.890”). The rods are rated for up to 500hp and are balanced to within +\/- 1 gram per set. They are compatible with Honda\/Acura D16 (ALL) and ZC engines.\n\nApplications include a range of Honda and Acura models such as the 1986-1989 Acura Integra, 1988-1995 Honda Civic Si, 1988-1991 Honda CRX Si, 1990-1991 Honda Civic EX, 1995-2000 Honda Civic, 1999-2006 Honda HR-V, and 1993-1995 Honda Del Sol Si.","brand":"Speed Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663772610872,"sku":"SF-02-103","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687686782.jpg?v=1784329472","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/d16-vitara-spec-no-notch-long-connecting-rods","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
