Manley 1989-2002 Nissan 2.6 Skyline GT-R (RB26DETT) Turbo Tuff Pro Series I-Beam Connecting Rod Set

Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods strengthen RB26DETT engines in 1989-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R models. Forged from 4340 steel with ARP 2000 bolts, they support power levels over 1200 horsepower in drag racing and high-boost turbo setups. Each set of 6 rods measures 138mm center-to-center for direct replacement and balanced operation at high RPM.

Key Features

  • Forged 4340 Steel: Vacuum degassed alloy provides high tensile strength and fatigue resistance for turbocharged applications
  • ARP 2000 Bolts: 3/8 x 1.250 inch bolts rated for extreme cylinder pressures and repeated dyno passes
  • I-Beam Design: 55mm big end bore and 22mm wrist pin bore reduce reciprocating mass while handling high RPM
  • Weight Matching: 582 grams per rod, matched to 0.5 grams for smooth engine rotation and longevity
  • NHRA Certification: Legal for Stock and Super Stock classes in select Pro Series configurations

Product Notes

  • Rods ship as matched set of 6 with bolts and stretch gauges
  • Big ends require honing to achieve proper clearance with bearings
  • Packaged in protective sleeve to prevent shipping damage

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Torque bolts to 65 ft-lbs with ARP moly lube in four stages
  • Compatible with stock pistons, aftermarket pistons, and RB26 crank

Connecting Rods

Performance connecting rods are a foundational upgrade for any engine build that will push beyond factory power limits. OEM connecting rods are designed for stock power levels and cast iron construction that may not handle the combination of high RPM, forced induction, and increased cylinder pressure present in a serious performance build. H-beam and I-beam forged steel rods provide the tensile strength and fatigue resistance needed to survive those conditions reliably.Popular UpgradesH-beam connecting rods forged from 4340 chromoly steel are the most popular choice for turbo and supercharged street builds targeting 500 to 1,000 horsepower. I-beam rods are preferred in applications where compressive loads exceed tensile loads, such as naturally aspirated high-RPM engines and certain diesel applications. Lightweight titanium rods are used in maximum-effort race engines where rotating mass reduction at extreme RPM is the priority.What is the difference between H-beam and I-beam connec...

Connecting Rods & Push Rods

Connecting Rods & Push Rods

Connecting rods and push rods are critical internal engine components that transmit force within the combustion cycle. Connecting rods link the piston to the crankshaft, while push rods in overhead-valve engines transfer cam lobe motion upward to the rocker arms and valves. Upgrading both types with forged steel or chromoly alloy components increases durability and allows an engine to handle sustained high-RPM or high-boost operation.Popular UpgradesForged 4340 chromoly H-beam connecting rods are the standard upgrade for any performance engine build targeting more than 400 horsepower, replacing the cast or powdered-metal OEM rods that cannot survive the fatigue cycles of performance use. Performance push rods in hardened chromoly with specific wall thickness and length specifications are essential for LS and small-block Chevy builds where custom camshafts alter valve train geometry. Matched sets in the correct length and diameter simplify assembly and ensure consistent valve train g...

Connecting Rods - 6Cyl

Six-cylinder connecting rods cover inline-six and V6 engine platforms used in a wide range of performance vehicles, from the Toyota 2JZ and BMW S54 to the Nissan RB26 and GM's LY7 and LFX V6 engines. These engines are frequently pushed far beyond stock power levels with forced induction, requiring connecting rods that can survive the increased tensile loads without fatigue failure.Popular UpgradesH-beam 4340 chromoly connecting rods for the Toyota 2JZ-GTE, BMW S54 and S55, Nissan RB25 and RB26, and various Chrysler and GM V6 platforms are the most popular six-cylinder rod upgrades. The 2JZ in particular has an extensive aftermarket rod catalog, supporting builds well past 1,000 horsepower on the factory block when paired with quality rods and pistons. I-beam rods with ARP bolts are used in naturally aspirated high-RPM race builds where lightweight construction and compressive strength are the primary concerns.What rod bolts should I use with aftermarket six-cylinder rods?ARP 2000 or...
