Nitto I-beam connecting rods are manufactured using the highest quality one piece 4340 forged billet steel round stock and have been designed as a first stage upgrade for the price conscious racer.

The simpler manufacturing process of the H-beam connecting rod over its big brother the "I-beam" has allowed costs to be kept down to a more affordable level without compromising quality. Nitto H-beam connecting rods are specifically designed for high performance street and entry to mid-level motorsport applications. They are far superior to any OEM manufactured rod and can hold their own against some of the well-known I-beam rods from our competitors.

Using Nitto's one piece round billet design ensures a uniform flow of the material grain which ensures maximum strength especially when compared to the cheaper manufactured two-piece designs commonly found at the lower end of the market.

Nitto H-beam connecting rods feature quality ARP rod bolts and silicone bronze wrist pin bushes to ensure reliability. Nitto H-beam connecting rods are for use in applications that require a strengthened link between the crankshaft and piston but do not require the heavy-duty link of an I-beam connecting rod.
