get some arp rod bolts. plenty of people on here rev ls/vtec turbo's to over 8 grand. but, you gotta use arp rod bolts. stock ones just won't hold up.

Re: b18b1 rods reving capability in a ls/vtec

im running ls/vtec in my teg with JDM ITR pistons, and i wrap mine to 8k everytime i hit it. Been doing that for 35k miles now. ARP rod bolts/head studs, is what i have. You will be fine with stock rods.
