im building a b18a1 with ctr pistons and was wondering if would be necessary to get aftermarket rods or if oem would be fine? also where can i find oem rods other than from honda? tia

 

anyone?

 

OEM rods will be fine.

Only place to get new OEM rods is from Honda. If you want used rods, look in the classifieds of this forum.

OEM rods are good enough for what ur trying to do. i wouldn't go aftermarket rods until i try to turbo the **** out of my motor. **** even 300-400hp turbo guys use stock rods.....

 

thanks the answer i was lookin for

 

you can let them shotpeened, then they are almost as strong as aftermarket rods.

Or didn't you know that. Cycles are what matters.
