Rzcrew Racing - X Beam Forged Conrod - Set of 4 - Suzuki M18A
Manufacturer: Rzcrew Racing
Reference Number: RZ-FCR-X-M16A-ARP2000
Rzcrew Racing Suzuki M16A Connecting Rod, 136.00 mm Length, 20.00 mm Pin, 45.00 mm Journal, 3/8 in. ARP 2000 or 625+Forged 4340 Steel, X-Beam, Set
Rzcrew Racing connecting rods are engineered with advanced strength and weight optimization for enhanced performance under demanding conditions. Forged from high-grade 4340 steel, these rods feature a shot-peened finish to reduce surface stress concentrations and improve durability. Each rod is subjected to stringent quality control measures, including magnetic particle inspection, ensuring the material is free from defects. Precision machining ensures bore tolerances are maintained to within +/- .0001” post-finishing, and the rods are balanced to a weight variance of +/- 1 gram per end for uniformity.
The dual-ribbed cap design enhances structural integrity, allowing the big end to retain its shape under high RPMs. The small ends are fitted with full-floating, precision-honed bronze bushings, providing low friction and excellent wear resistance. Equipped with ARP 2000 bolts rated for 200,000 psi tensile strength, these rods deliver unmatched durability in high-stress racing environments. Finished to exacting standards in the USA, Rzcrew Racing connecting rods are the ideal choice for competitive racing applications where strength, precision, and reliability are paramount.
Forged X-beam connecting rods are often considered better than H-beam rods for certain high-performance applications because of the following reasons:
Strength and Durability: X-beam rods offer a balanced distribution of stress and load across the beam. The design provides greater resistance to both compressive and tensile forces, which is important in high-revving engines.
Weight Optimization: X-beam rods tend to be lighter than H-beam rods. This reduces rotational mass and can improve engine responsiveness and efficiency, especially in high-RPM applications.
Stress Management: The X-beam shape offers improved rigidity while managing stresses better across the rod. This makes them ideal for engines that experience extreme pressures, like turbocharged or supercharged setups.
Fatigue Resistance: Due to the forged construction and optimized shape, X-beam rods are less prone to fatigue over time, increasing their longevity compared to the bulkier H-beam rods.
However, H-beam rods are still strong and might be more suitable for engines where weight isn't as much of a concern and extreme high-revving performance isn't required.
