d15b7 rods vs d16z6 rods...strength wise
I jut put togather a b8 block along with a jdm d15b head. Iv always heard the b7/b8 rods r weaker and I actually found a old post that had pictures but they didnt work of course and the poster didnt say anything about the actual beefiness of the rods. So the z6/d15b rods can handle 200whp safely, are the b7/8 rods only good to 160? 170? Iv seen a few older articles and threads were people r putting down 150-160 to the wheels with b7's. Can anyone point me to some pics of them side by side or anyone have a definate idea on what these rods r good too? If i decided to replace the rods, is there any stock honda rods thatd work good up to 200 or more..like a1's (im pretty sure these wont work due to length or crank journal size). Does eagle make rods for the d15b7/8? or is my only choice $700+ for pewter or whatever
