There is no difference between the DX and the Si rods. The Si rod is no stronger or weaker than the DX unit.
They both however, are substantially stronger than the HF (which I think is the EW1?) rods, which are NOT interchangeable with the DX/Si rods.

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.

All 1.5L rods are the same, EW1 and up.
The 1.3L (EV1,2) rods are different, to make up the difference in displacement. They are also thinner and weaker, as mentioned.

That's not exactly true Mark. The 1.5 HF rods have pretty much the same dimensions as the 1.3 rods. I still have a set of these in my garage.
Left to right, 1.5 HF (85), 1.5 Si, & 1.6 D16A1.
Both the big end and the small ends of the HF rods have smaller diameters than the other two also.

Ah, I remeber that picture, too.
So basically any 1.5L non-HF (thats CVCC?) rod should work.
Thats what I get for living in Canada, where its 1.3L, 1.5L, and Si only, no HF, cvcc, emissions, power loss...

So you didn't get the HF, no big deal. But you guys DID get the best 12 valve EW head they made for these. The PE3.

Hate to thread jack....
I'm building a D15A3 for my CRX... nothing special, just a re-ring, stage 1 cam, valve spring mod...
Should I throw a PE3 head on there in lieu of the PE7? Little more compression and maybe better knock resistance?
