are they? I mean there have been people to say the jdm sohc is a stroked down version of the usdm d16z6.

My question is has anyone seen the size of the jdm d15b rods are they the same as the a6,z6, and the y8, cause i plan on boosting this motor??

please post your input of what u know

thanx

Yes, I have read that they are the same (in terms of strength). The USDM d15 rods are the weaker ones.

 

thanks man

 

I thought the D15b had the VX rods.. which were a lil bit thinner?

 

if i remember correctly jdm d15b uses the block from a vx... but internally they're the same thing as a z6.

Rods are both 137mm, but have different journals

 

So are they as strong as a D16z6 rod?

From what i've read on d-series.org and sohchonda.com, Slightly weaker if not as strong. But much stronger than the B7/B8 rods.

 

there are side by side pics posted on this board under a topic I asked awhile back.

 

found this on d-series.org if anyone is still interested:


the one on the left is a d15b and the right is a d16z6.
the rods are the same but the piston is shorter for the d15b
