Skunk2 relies on extensive material testing and works closely with its foundry to produce high-quality rods at an affordable price. Comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes together ensure that each Alpha Series Rod remains consistent and strong. Finally, each rod is magna-fluxed to ensure integrity and that each process has been completed thoroughly and according to Skunk2’s rigid specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" id=\"newdescrRC\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" align=\"justify\"\u003eSkunk2’s engineers spent nearly three years developing and testing its H-beam rod design. The results are one of the strongest beam configurations available, capable of handling more than 900 hp. Engineers made use of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to determine high-stress points and implemented features to reduce wear and increase strength. Skunk2’s straight design distributes stress across a larger area when compared to tapered rods, providing additional support where necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" align=\"justify\"\u003eAlpha Series Rods are manufactured from two-piece forgings, resulting in optimal grain orientation along the rod cap for increased strength. By orienting the metal’s grain in the direction of stress along the rod cap, perpendicular to the stress exerted along the beam, strength is significantly increased. Skunk2’s two-piece forgings provide a precision-tight fit between the rod’s cap and its beam without resorting to the brittle materials required by other processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" align=\"justify\"\u003eAlpha Series Rods also feature dual oil passages at their pin ends, providing additional lubrication and cooling, which leads to an even stronger, more durable rod. Unlike other designs, Skunk2’s carefully positioned, offset oil passages help deliver lubrication around the entire wrist pin, during each phase of the engine cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" align=\"justify\"\u003eEach Alpha Series Rod features high-quality, Skunk2-branded, 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts. ARP2000 rod bolts are forged, heat-treated, precision-machined, and capable of clamping loads as high as 220,000 psi. Precision-machined, bronze wrist pin bushings are also fitted to each Alpha Series Rod for increased wear resistance, and are compatible with most aftermarket pistons without additional machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eDesigned for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota 86 FA20 engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eForged from select 4340 chromoly steel and feature an H-beam design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eAlpha Series Rods undergo comprehensive heat-treating, tempering, and shot-peening processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eOne of the strongest beam configurations available, capable of handling more than 900 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eManufactured from two-piece forgings, resulting in optimal grain orientation along the rod cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003ePrecision-tight fit between the rod’s cap and its beam without resorting to the brittle materials required by other processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eCarefully positioned dual oil passages deliver lubrication around the entire wrist pin, during each phase of the engine cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eAlpha Series Rods feature high-quality, Skunk2-branded, 3\/8-inch ARP2000 bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003ePrecision-machined, bronze wrist pin bushings are also fitted to each rod and are compatible with most aftermarket pistons without additional machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\" id=\"newdescrLC\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e2013 - 2021 Subaru BRZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e2017 - 2021 Toyota 86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e2013 - 2016 Toyota FT86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e2013 - 2016 Scion FR-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eUltimate Strength-to-Weight Ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eConsistent Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eLong Lasting Durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eCapable of Handling Over 900hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eReduced Wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eIncreased Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eSuperior Lubrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eWhat's In The Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e4 - Alpha Series Connecting Rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-gtm-vis-has-fired-536019_202=\"1\"\u003eManufacturer Standard Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43267129901308,"sku":"SKK306-12-1010","price":471.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1128\/7276\/products\/skunk2-alpha-series-connecting-rods-brzfrs86-286799.jpg?v=1738946823","url":"https:\/\/jdcustomsusa.com\/pt\/products\/skunk2-alpha-series-brz-frs-connecting-rods","provider":"JD Customs U.S.A","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
