Brian Crower Connecting Rods - Mitsubishi 4B11T Evolution X - 5.656 - SPORTSMAN w/ARP2000 Fasteners

Brian Crower is well-known for making strong engine components for performance applications. These SPORTSMAN connecting rods are a prime example, specifically made for the Mitsubishi 4B11T engine found in the Evolution X Lancer. If you're rebuilding the engine in your Evo X, especially if you're looking to handle more power than stock, these rods are a solid choice. They measure 5.656 inches long, which is a common length for this engine, and they come with ARP2000 fasteners, which are a step up from standard bolts and known for their reliability under stress.

These rods are forged from high-strength steel, giving them the durability needed to withstand the increased pressures and forces of a performance engine. The SPORTSMAN series is designed to be a reliable upgrade over factory rods, offering improved strength without going to the extreme expense of their billet-forged options. The ARP2000 fasteners are a key part of the package; they are made from a high-tensile strength alloy and are designed to maintain consistent clamping force, which is crucial for keeping your engine together when you're pushing it hard. This means you can have more confidence in your engine's internal components.

When installing these connecting rods, it's important to ensure your crankshaft journals are within specification and properly prepped. The rods themselves are designed to fit right into the 4B11T engine, but proper assembly techniques and clearances are critical for longevity. This set includes the connecting rods and the ARP2000 fasteners, so you'll have the core components ready for your engine build. Make sure to consult your service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
