the d15b has a completely different rod than any other d series, i believe crower makes rods for it but last i checked they werent off the shelf, custom built and run about 800 bucks.

You have to worry about the pistons, they have the same compression height as a d17 00-03gx. So you can get aftermarket pistons for that car, but only race engineering makes them using wiseco pistons. People on turbod16 have used the vitraras, and they have NOT stuck out of the block.

 

this is very interesting, i researched building my d15b a little less than a year ago and found that people were saying a no go on using d16 rods, do you have any links to references so i could touch up my knowledge?

 

bump id love to know

 

Here's one for starters, you can search for more if you like on the same site, even this site has comparision of the rods done by mista bone. http://turbod16.com/viewtopic....=d15b
