What is the advantage of using ARP625+ fasteners with these connecting rods?

ARP625+ fasteners are a premium hardware option known for their exceptional tensile strength and fatigue resistance. They are designed to withstand higher clamping loads and extreme operating conditions, ensuring a more reliable connection between the connecting rod and crankshaft under high-performance stress.

What other engine components might I need when installing these connecting rods?

When installing new connecting rods, it's common practice to also replace rod bearings, piston rings, and potentially the crankshaft main bearings. It's also recommended to have your crankshaft journals checked for straightness and surface finish to ensure proper bearing contact.

Are these connecting rods suitable for a stock 1.8T engine, or are they only for heavily modified builds?

While these rods are built to handle significantly more power than stock, they can be used in a stock engine if you plan on future upgrades. However, their true benefit is realized in engines that are modified for increased horsepower and torque, such as those with turbocharger upgrades or performance tuning.

Product Details

Brian Crower is well-known for making strong engine components for performance applications. If you're building or rebuilding a Volkswagen or Audi 1.8T engine, these ProH connecting rods are a solid choice. They are designed to handle more power than stock, making them a critical upgrade for boosted or high-performance builds. These rods measure 5.670 inches in length, a common size for many 1.8T applications, and come equipped with ARP625+ fasteners, which are a step up from standard ARP hardware, offering increased tensile strength and reliability under extreme stress.

These connecting rods are built with durability and performance in mind. The ProH designation indicates a robust design suitable for demanding use. The material and construction are chosen to withstand the increased cylinder pressures and forces that come with higher horsepower outputs. The inclusion of ARP625+ fasteners means you're getting top-tier hardware known for its exceptional strength and resistance to stretching, which is crucial for maintaining proper bearing clearances and engine integrity at high RPMs and under heavy loads. This attention to detail in both the rod and the fasteners ensures a well-built component that you can rely on.

This set of connecting rods fits a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with the 1.8T engine, including popular models like the Audi A4, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen Jetta. When installing these, it's important to ensure your crankshaft journals are within specification and that you follow the proper torque sequence for the ARP625+ fasteners as outlined by Brian Crower and ARP. Having these components properly installed is key to unlocking their full potential and ensuring the longevity of your engine build.
