Which rods should I get?
I'm rebuilding my D16a6 1.6 SOHC with hypereutectic pistons. I have a choice of using my stock ones or other stock honda rods. I can't afford the forged ones so I need some rods that can handle a little more turbo abuse than my stock d16a6 ones. Would gsr rods work?? What have you guys done in the past? Any and all replies are appreciated.

well.. to fit a b18a/b (LS rod) in a d-series block there will be some clearence issues that have to be dealth with. (called notchin the block) more or less means that u grind out some metal from the bottom of the cyl wall so the rod can clear the block while it is in motion. For aftermarket bseries rods, not worth it because aftermarket dseries of the same brand and model would be just as strong but the bseries will require machining costs.
