Product Details

If you're building a Nissan GT-R VR38 engine for serious performance, you need connecting rods that can handle the stress. The Carrillo Pro-XD series is designed for just that, offering a well-built solution for high-horsepower applications. These rods are forged from high-strength steel, giving them the durability needed to withstand the intense forces generated in a modified VR38DETT engine. They are specifically engineered to be a direct replacement for the factory rods, simplifying installation into your engine build.

Carrillo uses a proprietary heat-treating process on their Pro-XD rods, which further strengthens the material and improves its fatigue life. This is crucial when you're pushing the limits of your GT-R's engine, whether for track use or extreme street performance. The 3/8" CARR bolts are a key feature, providing a strong and reliable connection point that is essential for maintaining engine integrity under high load. These bolts are also designed to work seamlessly with the rod body, ensuring a secure fit and consistent clamping force.

When assembling your VR38 engine, using robust internal components like these Carrillo connecting rods is a smart investment. They are a popular choice among builders who demand reliability and performance from their high-output engines. While these rods are built for extreme duty, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines closely to ensure proper fitment and function within your specific engine build. This includes using the correct torque specifications and ensuring all mating surfaces are clean and prepared.
