WHat manufacturers make rods that cater to the b17 stock specs… Thanks…
Crower I believe is one of them. They have access to JE, Arias, & some other manufacturer pistons.

Actually Crower hasn’t started making B17A rods yet (I’m wrong…look down at my next post). So far, I believe that Eagle is the only company even “considering” making B17A rods. Right now, all you can do is run stock B17A rods…maybe shot peen them to reduce stress on riser (sharp) edges.
Do you, uh… Yahoo?
CNC machined from premium quality 4340 chromoly steel. These rods are one of if not the best choice when running NOS high boost or high Rpm in your all motor vehicle. Choose from 4340 steel billet or aerospace grade. Comes with 220,000 psi bolts standard but is also available in superior 280,000 psi bolts for an additional charge. All Acura, Honda and Mitsubishi steel billet rods are for $630 per set. Titanium rods are also available for $420 per rod. Check below for available applications.

OOPS…I stand corrected. $600+. It’s just that I tried to go to Crower’s site and they are down for maintenance, so I went to my next choice…racesearch.com. They didn’t list any for it and I couldn’t remember if they were made or not. My bad. Great rods though. I had them in my old B18A setup. MMMMMMmm…
have you tried calling cb performance in frisco? i remember talking to one of the guys down there & am almost sure he mentioned that as of the sema show eagle was gonna have b17a rods.
give them a call at 415-775-4294 to make sure. ask for benson & tell him that don sent you.

don- I called them up 3 times already… I did last time you told me and they never called me back. I guess another try won’t hurt.
I found them and the sets look to have a price range of 370 for a set of 4340 steel eagle rods with the arp bolts. and the sets of crower for 630 for a set of 4340 chromoly steel rods. also the titanium crowers to be 430 a rod!!!
O.K. I called Eagle this morning and was told by Alan that the early GSRs had a shorter rod and they do not make this rod but the later GSRs had the same rod length as a B18. The problem is, he doesn’t know the cutoff for the serial # for the B17. The only way to tell is to take out your rod and measure it or compare it to a B18A rod. Shorter? You’re stuck with $600+ from Crower.
Same? Lucky you! Around $370 from Eagle…HTH
I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I have faith in the Eagle products.

confused
So am i to assume that the B17a1 rods are the same as the Ls rods…differing only in length??
I ask because i just recieved my SRP pistons…and these were the specs on the box
Bore 3.209
stroke 3.205---------?stock B17a
Rod length 5.394----?LS lengh(and late 93 B17a)
comp height 1.181
piston weight 284
dome vol 1.7
I’m thinking either the stoke number is wrong or the rod length is wrong…because correct me if i’m wrong but the stoke would be longer than stock stroke if the rod was longer?
let me know if i need to be clearer on my question
thanks for the help

I agree with that:lol: I think that thats a bunch of crap. I have found a few 93 GSR owners that have tried eagle rods & no worky worky. Why would Honda change a motor that was only built for 2 yrs for the US only. It just doesn’t make sense. When I get time I am going to go to Acura and check this out.
