Description
The Skunk2 Alpha Series BRZ / FRS Connecting Rods are engineered for high-performance engines, offering exceptional strength and durability. Crafted from high-grade 4340 chromoly steel, these rods feature an innovative H-beam design that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Extensive material testing and close collaboration with the foundry ensure each rod meets rigorous quality standards, with comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes that enhance fatigue resistance and overall robustness. Each rod undergoes magna-flux inspection to verify integrity and adherence to Skunk2’s precise specifications, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.
Designed with nearly three years of dedicated engineering, the Alpha Series rods utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to identify high-stress points and incorporate features that reduce wear while increasing strength. The straight design distributes stress evenly across the entire length, providing superior support compared to tapered alternatives. Made from two-piece forgings, these rods achieve optimal grain orientation along the cap, significantly increasing strength where it’s needed most. The dual oil passages at the pin ends improve lubrication and cooling, promoting longer lifespan and enhanced performance, especially at high RPMs and horsepower levels.
These rods are rated to handle more than 900 horsepower, making them suitable for high-performance and forced induction engines. They are supplied with 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts and bronze wrist pin bushings for added durability and secure fitment. The set includes four rods, each with a length of approximately 5.12 inches and a weight of about 18.6 ounces. The small end width measures approximately 0.84 inches, while the big end width is roughly 0.84 inches, with a big end diameter of 2.09 inches and a small end diameter of 0.87 inches, ensuring compatibility with the 2013-2015 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S models.
Whether building a high-revving naturally aspirated engine or a turbocharged setup, the Skunk2 Alpha Series Connecting Rods provide the strength, precision, and reliability needed for extreme performance. Their advanced design, quality materials, and rigorous manufacturing process make them an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking to maximize power and durability in their Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S engine builds.
