Let's compare rods... :crook:

So if I were to put JDM B16 pistons and rods into my USDM B18C1...would there be a problem with the strength of the B16 rods due to putting them into a 1.8l instead of a 1.6l?

Some may remember my question about this from a day or 2 ago...My friend did the B20vtec in his rex, so since he has the B16 block laying around he is gonna let me get the pistons/rods from him.

Thanks in advance.

I've seen stock B16 rods handle 275 whp from boost...

sounds like you're building an all motor setup..so the rods should be good with the pistons in the 1.8 block.
