Eagle CRS5394H3D H-Beam Connecting Rods for 1988-2001 Honda/Acura D16/ZC 1.6L

Vehicle Fitment

• 1988-2001 Honda Civic (D16, ZC 1.6L 4-cyl)
• 1988-2001 Honda CRX (D16 / ZC 1.6L)
• 1992-2001 Honda Del Sol (D16 / ZC 1.6L)
• 1994-2001 Acura Integra (D16 / ZC 1.6L)

Fitment Notes

• Only fits D16 / ZC 1.6L series (SOHC & DOHC depending on application) - not for larger-displacement Hondas without matching journal/piston pin specs.
• May require block/girdle clearancing due to increased big end width. 
• Recommended for performance or racing applications; street use depends on local laws & engine build.
• Fitment confirmed through 2001; 2002-on D-series / ZC variants not verified. 2025 unconfirmed.

Features

• Forged SAE 4340 chromoly steel H-beam construction for high strength under load. 
• Two-piece forging with precision machining, shot-peened, magnafluxed, sonic tested. 
• Bushed for floating wrist (pin) pin design.
• Uses ARP 2000 3/8" rod bolts for strong cap retention. 
• Weight matched set: approx. 535 g per rod. 
• High horsepower rating: advertised up to ~750-900 hp with proper supporting engine modifications. 
• Designed housing bore and journal dimensions matching D16/ZC blocks. 
• Consistent fastener strength and installation specs (torque, lube). 

Specifications

Product Description

The Eagle CRS5394H3D is a high-performance, forged 4340 H-beam rod set engineered for Honda/Acura's D16 and ZC 1.6L engine families. Each rod is fabricated via a two-piece forging process, then precision machined, shot-peened, magnafluxed, and sonic tested to exceed rigorous fatigue and strength standards. The floating wrist (pin) configuration and ARP 2000 3/8" bolts ensure the cap retention and pin fit meet demands of high revs or forced induction setups. With ~535 g per rod, these rods are an upgrade over many stock rods in strength, while maintaining reasonable reciprocating mass.

Fitment is confirmed for 1988-2001 Hondas and Acuras using the D16 or ZC 1.6L engines (Civic, CRX, Del Sol, Integra). Use in other engines or later years with different size pins, journals, or block geometry is **unconfirmed**. Build through 2001 is verified; 2002+ and other engine families are unverified. Clearancing of block, main cap girdle, or oil passages may be necessary in some builds due to big end width. Always use proper torque spec (43 ft-lbs with ARP moly lube) and ensure matching bearing clearances for reliability.
