Manley Pro Series I-Beam connecting rods deliver precision strength for the Nissan GT-R 3.8L VR38DETT engine in 2009-2024 models. Forged from 300M alloy with Turbo Tuff Tri-Beam design, these rods support high-boost turbo setups up to 1200+ HP. Their lightweight construction and ARP bolts ensure durability during aggressive driving and racing.
Key Features
- 300M Forged Alloy Steel: Provides high tensile strength and fatigue resistance for extreme turbo power levels
- Turbo Tuff Tri-Beam Design: Reinforces cap retention with three-beam structure for better rigidity under load
- Precision Machining: Gun-drilled rods with fully honed 55mm big ends and 22mm small ends for exact fitment
- ARP 2000 Rod Bolts: 3/8-inch high-strength bolts rated over 260000 psi with precise stretch fit
- Lightweight 585g per rod: Matched set reduces reciprocating mass for faster engine response and revs
Product Notes
- Balance with pistons crankshaft and bearings before final assembly
- Apply anti-seize to rod bolts during installation to prevent galling
- Packaged in foam-lined box to protect against shipping damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use moly assembly lube on bearings and wrist pins
- Compatible with stock or aftermarket H-beam crankshafts torque to 65 ft-lbs

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 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...
