Nitto Ford Barra 4L Conrods

H-Beam ∼ 800hp

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.

I-Beam ∼ 1000hp

Nitto I-beam connecting rods are manufactured using the highest quality one piece 4340 forged billet steel round stock and have been designed specifically for extreme motorsport use. Its design lends itself to being slightly lighter and superior in strength than the traditional H-beam connecting rod and far exceeds any OEM produced connecting rods for strength and durability.

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. Although the manufacturing process is more time consuming and expensive, Nitto’s no compromise approach ensures you get the best connecting rod on the market.

I-Beam V2 ∼ 1000+hp

Our V2 connecting rods have been developed to take the capabilities of steel rods to the next level. And they have done exactly that. Key changes have been made to our traditional I beam design to sustain higher power with greater reliability. This is not only achieved through a different I beam design, however. The V2 rods come with CHE pin bushings which are manufactured from a higher grade material than our standard I beam and H beam connecting rods, further adding to the ability of the V2 connecting rod.

The results of the features? A world record using the Ford Barra and a multitude of 7 second GTRs

Note that our destroker connecting rods are only available in V2 configuration.
