Carrillo VW 1.8T 16V 2.2 16V (9a) Pro-H 3/8 WMC Bolt Connecting Rods (5 cyl)

Carrillo is well-known for building strong, reliable internal engine components, especially for high-performance applications. This set of Pro-H connecting rods is a prime example, designed for VW 1.8T 16V and 2.2 16V (9a) 5-cylinder engines. If you're rebuilding the top end of one of these specific VW engines and need connecting rods that can handle more power than stock, these are a solid option.

These Pro-H rods are forged from a proprietary steel alloy, which Carrillo uses to create a well-built and durable connecting rod. They feature a substantial 3/8 inch WMC bolt, a detail that speaks to their robust construction and ability to withstand higher cylinder pressures and RPMs. The H-beam design is a popular choice for its strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for both street performance and track use. This design helps ensure consistent performance and longevity under demanding conditions.

When you're building an engine that needs to perform, the connecting rods are a critical component. These Carrillo rods are made to be a direct replacement for the factory rods in the specified VW engines, simplifying installation for a professional builder. They are designed to work with the factory crankshaft and pistons, though it's always recommended to consult with your engine builder or a professional mechanic to ensure compatibility with any other modifications you might be making.
