Description

Skunk2 Alpha Series Honda B18C Connecting RodsAlpha Series Rods are forged from select 4340 chromoly steel and feature an H beam design, resulting in the ultimate strength to weight ratio. 4340 chromoly is one of the strongest materials available, however, not all 4340 chromoly is the same. As such, Skunk2 relies on extensive material testing and works closely with its foundry to produce high quality rods at an affordable price. Comprehensive heat treating, tempering, and shot peening processes

Alpha Series Rods are forged from select 4340 chromoly steel and feature an H-beam design, resulting in the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. 4340 chromoly is one of the strongest materials available, however, not all 4340 chromoly is the same. As such, Skunk2 relies on extensive material testing and works closely with its foundry to produce high-quality rods at an affordable price. Comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes together ensure that each Alpha Series Rod remains consistent and strong. Finally, each rod is magna-fluxed to ensure integrity and that each process has been completed thoroughly and according to Skunk2's rigid specifications. Skunk2's engineers spent nearly three years developing and testing its H-beam rod design. The results are one of the strongest beam configurations available, capable of handling more than 900 hp. Engineers made use of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to determine high-stress points and implemented features to reduce wear and increase strength. Skunk2's straight design distributes stress across a larger area when compared to tapered rods, providing additional support where necessary. Alpha Series Rods are manufactured from two-piece forgings, resulting in optimal grain orientation along the rod cap for increased strength. By orienting the metal's grain in the direction of stress along the rod cap, perpendicular to the stress exerted along the beam, strength is significantly increased. Skunk2's two-piece forgings provide a precision-tight fit between the rod's cap and its beam without resorting to the brittle materials required by other processes. Alpha Series Rods also feature dual oil passages at their pin ends, providing additional lubrication and cooling, which leads to an even stronger, more durable rod. Unlike other designs, Skunk2's carefully positioned, offset oil passages help deliver lubrication around the entire wrist pin, during each phase of the engine cycle.

Great...but could be a bit better
Style: 2-Speaker
Almost perfect. Easy to screw apart and insert wires to both the back and to the front, or do what I did and screw the wire onto the back and then use a banana plug for the front. My only complaints are that the back piece sits off the wall a little, so the plate doesn't fit flat and tight against the wall. It leave a little gap around the edges. The other complaint is that the back piece has some flex in it, which makes me nervous when I push plugs into and out of it. I think it probably will hold up fine, but it feels a little oogy to push banana plugs into it and see it flex. Comes with all the hardware needed. Just need a philips screwdriver and wire cutters and you're good to go. Super easy to use, and way better than the spring loaded connections it replaced.

Really good wall plates
Style: 1-Speaker
These plates came on time, packaged well and are "doing the trick". The plates, while fairly light-weight are perfect for my new system. They installed into the junction boxes very easily, hold the wires snugly and the banana plugs are perfect for my usage. If you need a nice, easy to install, good quality, wall plate, I would highly recommend these.
