Brian Crower Connecting Rods - Toyota 3SGTE - 5.410 - Sportsman w/ARP2000 Fasteners

These Brian Crower Sportsman connecting rods are built for the 1988-1993 Toyota Celica and the 1991-1995 Toyota MR2, specifically for the 3SGTE engine. If you're rebuilding or upgrading your engine, especially for higher performance, strong connecting rods are crucial. They handle the immense pressure from combustion and transfer power to the crankshaft, so they need to be well-built and reliable.

Brian Crower uses a strong I-beam design for these rods, which is a popular choice for performance applications because it offers a good balance of strength and weight. They're made from forged 4340 steel, a material known for its durability and ability to withstand high stress. This makes them a solid option for engines that will see more demanding use than stock. The rods measure 5.410 inches in length, a specific dimension designed to work with the 3SGTE engine's geometry. They also come with ARP2000 fasteners, which are a step up from standard bolts. ARP fasteners are well-regarded in the performance engine world for their consistent clamping force and resistance to stretching under high loads, ensuring the rod stays securely connected to the crankshaft.

This set includes everything you need to replace the connecting rods on your 3SGTE engine. When installing, it's always a good idea to have your crankshaft journals checked and polished to ensure a smooth surface for the rod bearings. Proper assembly and torque specifications, as outlined by Brian Crower or your engine builder, are essential for the longevity and performance of these components.
