Profiled to clear factory girdles and ZERO block notching is needed.Įngine: Honda/Acura JDM D15B SOHC VTEC (does not fit other D15 variants with 45mm big end bore)Ĭenter to Center Length: 136.38mm – 5.369” They feature bronze alloy pin bushings for floating wrist pins and come standard with 220,000 psi rated 3/8” ARP2000 rod bolts. The rods have precision alignment dowels to positively locate the rod cap, maintain big end bore size, and eliminate cap walk.

Each rod is heat-treated, magnafluxed, CNC machined, and shot-peened to stress-relieve the metal.

The 2-piece forged 4340 chromoly construction provides outstanding strength and quality. The custom rod length brings the Vitara pistons up to proper deck height which gives higher compression, increased efficiency, and better spool time while being substantially lighter than other similar rods on the market. Optimized specifically for Vitara JDM D15B SOHC VTEC builds, they offer high strength and quality at an affordable price. Introducing the ultimate rod for these setups – lightweight, strong, and clears both the sleeves & girdle for unrivaled ease of use. Custom longer rods were then introduced that fixed the deck height/low compression issue, but you still had to deal with the tedious and time consuming task of block and girdle notching. One thing that has always been annoying though is having to use standard length off-the shelf rods that are low compression, unnecessarily large and heavy, and require the usual block and girdle notching to use. Very cost effective, fun, and relatively simple to build. Vitara piston turbo SOHC VTEC builds are one of the most popular 300-500hp street Honda setups out there. Proudly introducing the new SpeedFactory Racing JDM D15B SOHC VTEC Vitara Spec No-Notch Connecting Rods!
