BLOX Racing Ti Retainers for B18A-B B20 (1.8L DOHC) 1990-2001 Acura Integra & Honda CR-V

BLOX Racing Ti Retainers are direct-fit replacements for OEM steel retainers on B18A/B and B20 1.8L DOHC engines. These precision-machined parts fit 1990-2001 Acura Integra GS, LS, RS, Special Edition and 1997-2001 Honda CR-V EX, LX, SE models. The titanium construction slashes valvetrain mass by 12 grams per retainer (6g vs 18g stock) for quicker valve response and safe high-RPM operation up to 10,000+ RPM.

Key Features
