These maXpeedingrods 134.5 mm H‑beam rods are listed to fit Honda D15B2 applications including 1988–1991 Civic GL/DX/LX, 1988–1991 Civic Wagon, 1988–1991 CRX DX, 1990–1995 Concerto (EU), and 1992–1995 Civic LSi/DXi (EU). Always verify your engine code (D15B2) and compare dimensions before ordering.
The rods are forged from high‑strength chromoly steel (marketed as 4340 aircraft chrome‑moly / EN24 quality) and are H‑beam design for improved strength and stiffness.
The set includes 4 connecting rods (as pictured). The set is balanced to ±1 gram.
Center‑to‑center length: 134.5 mm; big end inner/center diameter: 45 mm; small end inner diameter: 19 mm; big end width: 22.8 mm; small end width: 18 mm.
Yes. The set includes genuine 5/16" ARP 2000 rod bolts.
ARP 2000 bolts are serviceable in many cases, but reuse depends on inspection. Check for stretch, corrosion or damage; if any signs are present, replace. When in doubt, follow ARP's guidance or use new bolts.
Follow ARP's published assembly instructions for the specific 5/16" ARP2000 bolts included. That typically means using ARP recommended fastener lubricant and either torque values or bolt‑stretch (angle) method per ARP. Do not rely on generic torque numbers — use ARP documentation or a professional machine shop.
They are designed to match OEM geometry for the listed D15B2 fitments, but final fitment can vary. You should have a machine shop check small‑end/big‑end clearances, bush or hone small ends if needed, confirm crank journal fit with bearings, and perform any necessary alignment or clearancing before installation.
The forged 4340/EN24 H‑beam construction and ARP2000 bolts make these rods appropriate for many performance applications (street, track, and modest power increases). For extreme horsepower or very high RPM limits, consult the rod manufacturer/seller and your engine builder to ensure they meet your specific target power and reliability goals.
Check big‑end bearing clearance, side clearance, small‑end/piston pin fit, piston‑to‑rod clearance, rod big‑end trueness, and rod bolt stretch/torque. Also verify crank journal compatibility with the 45 mm big end and select proper bearings if needed.
Yes. Installing connecting rods is precision work. Professional machine shop services (clearancing, balancing checks, torque/stretch procedures, and final assembly) are recommended to ensure durability and engine safety.
