Boost a D16Y8 or D16Z6 past the mid-200s on factory rods and you're gambling with a windowed block, which is why forged rods are the first thing that goes in when a D-series bottom end comes apart. These SpeedFactory H-beam rods are built for exactly that build: the boosted Vitara piston D16 making real power on a budget that would barely cover pistons for a K motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are 2-piece forged SAE 4340 chromoly H-beam rods rated for D-series builds up to 700hp. Each rod is 100% CNC machined, multi-stage heat treated, magnafluxed, and shot-peened to relieve stress in the metal. Precision alignment dowels locate the rod caps positively, which keeps the big end bore round and eliminates cap walk under load. Bronze alloy pin bushings run floating wrist pins, and the rods come standard with 220,000 psi rated 3\/8 inch ARP2000 bolts. Sets are balanced to within 1 gram, and at 483 grams per rod they're lighter than most comparable H-beams while staying at the stock 137mm center-to-center length, so they work with almost any D16 or Vitara piston without changing your compression height math.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging details matter on a D-series because clearance is tight down there. SpeedFactory profiled these to clear most factory D16 main girdles, and block clearancing is limited to minimal notching at the bottom of the sleeves. That's a real advantage over bulkier rods that turn a bottom end refresh into a machining project. Instructions and ARP assembly lube come in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\/Acura D16 (all) and ZC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged SAE 4340 chromoly, 2-piece, 100% CNC machined\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700hp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e483 grams per rod, sets balanced to within 1 gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to center length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137mm (5.394 in), stock D16 length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePin end bore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.02mm (0.748 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePin end width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.2mm (0.717 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig end bore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48mm (1.890 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig end width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.65mm (0.892 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBolts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8 in ARP2000, 220,000 psi rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWrist pins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloating, bronze alloy pin bushings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-stage heat treated, magnafluxed, shot-peened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of 4 rods, ARP2000 bolts, ARP assembly lube, instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fit every D16 variant, so that covers the D16A6 in the 88-91 Civic Si, EX, and CRX Si, the D16Z6 in the 92-95 Civic EX and Si and del Sol Si, the D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Y5 in the 96-00 Civic lineup, the DOHC D16A1 in the 86-89 Integra, and JDM ZC swaps.

Past the 400-450hp range on a D16, the open-deck block and factory sleeves become the limit, so plan on sleeves or at least a girdle and honest tuning before you lean on the top of that rating. These rods clearing most factory girdles means most, not all, so mock up and check before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloating wrist pins mean your pistons need to be set up for floating pins with retainers, which Vitara pistons and virtually every forged D16 piston are. Have your machine shop verify pin fit and big end bearing clearances during assembly like any forged rod set, torque the ARP2000 bolts to ARP's spec with the included lube rather than a factory manual figure, and rebalance the rotating assembly if you're mixing these with used pistons or an aftermarket crank. None of that is unique to these rods. It's just what building a bottom end right looks like, and it's the difference between a 700hp-capable rod and a warranty conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrims\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1989-1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16A6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1990-1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEX sedan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16A6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1988-1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic Wagon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRT 4WD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16A6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1988-1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda CRX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16A6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1992-1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEX, Si\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16Z6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1993-1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic del Sol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16Z6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1996-1997\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic del Sol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS, Si\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16Y7, D16Y8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1996-2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDX, LX, CX, EX, HX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16Y7, D16Y8, D16Y5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1998-2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16B5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1986-1989\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura Integra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD16A1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJDM \/ swaps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZC applications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for the 99-00 Civic Si.\u003c\/strong\u003e The EM1 runs a B16A2, and 2001 and newer Civics moved to the D17 and later engine families.
