Whats the significance of d16a1 rods? Just curious, I have a d16a1

I agree its probably at least 250 today. I have found so many people saying the 200-225 is safe and IMO those are old numbers due to a lack of options... Maybe it was true then, but how many hondas can break 10s now when compared to 5yrs ago? Things are looking up

out of the 4 years they made the a1, 2 of the yeras they had stronger rods and the other 2 they had stronger pistons. i cant rmember which years are which but they can handle a decent bit more power when the best of each engine is put together. it has been way too long since i have messed with that stuff to remember the details, but if you search you can find it. i bet its on RPR. people put those a1's in 1st gen crx's all the time

Ah ok yeah now I remember the 86-87 had stronger rods and flat pistons, the 88-89 had lighter (weaker) rods and domed pistons.. I got the 89 so I dont know how those measure up

They have one thing....it actually works. That thing is pretty damn nice. HT or whatever other website someone would be on to make something like that doesn't matter in my book. That thing is the cat's ***.

highroller, can you critique their rear spindle setup compared to yours? I only skimmed their pics, but I distinctly remember your rear arms requiring a significant bit of mojo and alignment rack doublechecking.

(PS - can you make a jig from your spindles that I can buy?)
