Very cost-effective, fun, and relatively simple to build. One thing that has always been frustrating with these builds 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. 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. Time to kiss those days goodbye!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the ultimate rod for these setups – lightweight, strong, and clears both the sleeves \u0026amp; girdle for unrivaled ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimized specifically for Vitara D16 builds they offer high strength and quality at an affordable price. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-piece forged 4340 chromoly construction provides outstanding strength and quality. Each rod is heat-treated, magnafluxed, CNC machined, and shot-peened to stress-relieve the metal. The rods have precision alignment dowels to positively locate the rod cap, maintain big end bore size, and eliminate cap walk. They feature bronze alloy pin bushings for floating wrist pins and come standard with 220,000 psi rated 3\/8” ARP2000 rod bolts. Instructions and ARP Lube are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged SAE 4340 Chromoly Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% CNC machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision rod cap alignment dowels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze alloy pin bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnafluxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-stage heat treated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShot peened to relieve stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach set balanced to +\/- 1 gram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser etched SFR logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfiled to clear most factory girdles and ZERO block notching is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500hp rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: Honda\/Acura D16 (ALL) \u0026amp; ZC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Forged 4340 chromoly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolts: 3\/8” ARP2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 473 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter to Center Length: 138mm – 5.458”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin End Bore: 19.02mm - 0.748”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin End Width: 18.2mm – 0.717”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig End Bore: 48mm – 1.890”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig End Width: 22.65mm – 0.892”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitara D16 Build Compression Ratios are as follows:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD16 Block with D16Y8 Head - 7.8:1 standard rod (8.8:1 with our long rod)\u003cbr\u003e D16 Block with D16Z6\/Y7\/D15B Head - 7.6:1 standard rod (8.5:1 with our long rod)\u003cbr\u003e D16 Block with D15B7\/D16A6 Head - 7.3:1 standard rod (8.1:1 with our long rod)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fspeedfactoryracing%2Fvideos%2F10156653977187738%2F\u0026amp;show_text=0\u0026amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SpeedFactory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32085063860269,"sku":"SF-02-103","price":699.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0315\/1727\/8253\/products\/img_3101edits.jpg?v=1579573209","url":"https:\/\/speedscienceproductbackup.myshopify.com\/products\/speedfactory-d16-vitara-spec-no-notch-long-connecting-rods","provider":"speedscienceproductbackup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
