H-Beam Forged Connecting Rods for Audi/VW 1.8T 20V Turbo – 144 mm – 4320 Steel – Motorsport Grade

These H-beam forged connecting rods are purpose-built for high-performance Audi/VW 1.8T 20V turbocharged engines. They offer superior strength, exceptional reliability, and extreme load capacity – engineered for demanding applications on street, strip, or circuit.

Forged from high-tensile 4320 chrome-molybdenum steel and shot-peened for increased fatigue resistance, these rods outperform OEM components by far. The material delivers an optimal blend of tensile strength, elasticity, and durability – critical for engines running well beyond 500 HP under high boost and RPM.

With a 144 mm center-to-center length, 20 mm wrist pin bore, and balanced within ±1.5 grams, these rods ensure smooth operation and long-term durability. The integrated oiling hole in the small end enhances lubrication under stress. Supplied with high-strength 3/8" rod bolts, these rods provide race-ready reliability in any setup.
