The style, material, dimensions and fasteners are all chosen based on the rods intended use. Connecting rods are one of the most highly stressed components in an internal combustion engine. To insure maximum performance and reliability the best connecting rod possible for your application should be chosen. Selecting Connecting RodsSelecting the proper connecting rod for your intended use is critical to building an engine that will provide superior performance and reliability. To make a decision as to what is the best rod for your engine project you have to consider many things. Variables such as the way the engine will be used, intended rpm range, power level, racing class rules and the budget for your project all come into play. It is always best to go with a stronger rod than needed as choosing a rod that is barely adequate for the job will often lead to problems. Connecting Rods and Supercharged, Nitrous or Turbo EnginesAnother very critical item to consider is if you will be using a power adder on your engine. The use of a supercharger, turbo or NOS is more common today than ever before. Each of these power adders increases the loads that your connecting rods must be able to withstand and transfer to the crankshaft. We offer a wide range of con rods that are designed to stand up to the unique demands of nitrous, turbocharged and supercharged engines.
