Strongest OEM D-Series rods?
Just wondering which of the OEM D-series rods are the strongest. I have heard that 92-95 civic EX rods are strong, But just wondering if there is anything better?

the honda part number for D16 rods is the same from 88-00 civics. notice i mentioned D16...D15 rods were slightly smaller on the crank end. the internet says that the 86-87 integra (yes D
16) are the "beefiest" but they still look thin compared to B series rods.

Go b-series rods, It really isn't that hard to notch the block out. Just find someone with a carbide bit on a die grinder.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

you can use the b18 rods(ls) but you are gonna have to have a shop or some way to have them machined to fit the crank and since youre doing that might aswell have them shot peened and Ive heard the will support up to 300hp(not sure but thats what i heard)
