Default B20 rods

does anyone know the rod length of a stock b20 rod? in milimeters please. I'm trying to get a certain bore/stroke ratio for a turbo d16.

You can just use B18A/B ( LS ) rods. They are the same thing. Crower or Eagle make them. Cunningham or Carrillo also can do custom stuff, but expect to pay $

oh.... I wanted to do d16 turbo and i wanted to get a shorter d15 crank to increase reliability and r/s ratio. And in order to do this with the forged pistons i would get i would have to get custom rods to maintain compression. I calculated all out on paper and it ended up that i needed rods that were 139.5mm in length. That is if the d15 crank is as short as i think it is. And i think the d15 crank is 5.5mm shorter than a d16 crank. Is there anyone that knows their shat that could affirm me or prove me wrong?
