NITTO H-beam connecting rods are manufactured using the
highest quality one piece 4340 forged billet steel round
stock and have been designed as a first stage upgrade for
the price conscious racer.
The simpler manufacturing process of the H-beam connecting
rod over its BIG brother the "I-beam" has allowed costs
to be kept down to a more affordable level without compromising
quality. NITTO H-beam connecting rods are specifically designed
for high performance street and entry to mid level motorsport
applications. They are far superior to any OEM manufactured
rod and can hold their own against some of the well known
I-beam rods from our competitors.
Using NITTO’s one piece round billet design ensures a uniform
flow of the material grain which ensures maximum strength
especially when compared to the cheaper manufactured two
piece designs commonly found at the lower end of the market.
NITTO H-beam connecting rods feature quality ARP rod bolts
and silicone bronze wrist pin bushes to ensure reliability.
NITTO H-beam connecting rods are for use in applications
that require a strengthened link between the crankshaft
and piston but do not require the heavy duty link of an
I-beam connecting rod.
