keep in mind that his usdm d15 rods are longer and specifically designed to be used with vitaras (which he also sells).

the jdm d15b rods are slightly shorter than std length d16 rods (137mm)

for your block and crank, nothing. just order the correct rods/bearings and vitara pistons and rings.

i would contact fj distributors and ask if he has any usdm d15 rods left, or when the next batch will be run.

Thank you for your inquiry.

AT THIS TIME FJ AUTOMOTIVE IS NOT TAKING ANY NEW ORDERS. THIS MEASURE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR SHOP GOT BROKEN IN AND VANDALIZED BY THIEVES.

AT THIS TIME WE WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ALL OF OUR EFFORTS INTO FULFILLING ALL PREVIOUS ORDERS TO CUSTOMERS, SPECIALLY THOSE THAT WERE STOLEN IN THIS INCIDENT.

WE ASK FOR EVERYONES PATIENCE WHILE WE DEAL WITH THIS DIFFICULT SITUATION.

ALL CUSTOMERS THAT HAD ORDERED CONNECTING RODS---> THESE WERE RE ORDERED AGAIN TO COVER THOSE THAT WERE STOLEN AND THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION.
ALL OTHER ORDERS PENDING ARE ALSO BEING WORKED AND SHALL BE EXPEDITED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND DELAYS CAUSED BY THIS SITUATION.

Thank You.

If your not boosting, you wont be making over 200hp so you dont need rods.

crower also makes usdm d15 rods but i believe they are >$700 for a set.
better to just find a good d16 block and crank and use eagles/vitaras.
RCautoworks also has custom length d16 rods as well.
one set of d15 rods left?

with the d15b crank they will.
fj distributors is no longer active.
custom length d16 rods can be purchased from from RC Autoworks like I mentioned before.
