Eagle CRS5365N3D H-Beam Connecting Rods Set for 1989-2002 Nissan SR20DE/SR20DET

Vehicle Fitment

• 1989-2002 Nissan SR20DE / SR20DET (Base / Turbo / SE-R / S-series / S13-S15 / 240SX / G20 / Sentra / NX)

Fitment Notes

• Fits *SR20DE* (naturally aspirated) and *SR20DET* (turbocharged) engines only.
• Does **not** fit non-SR20 platforms (i.e. KA, RB, etc.) without modification.
• Rear main seal, oiling, and piston pin bore must match SR20 factory specs.

Features

• Forged 4340 steel H-beam design for high strength and fatigue resistance under boost and high RPM.
• Shot-peened, magnafluxed, x-rayed, and sonic inspected for material integrity.
• Bushed pin end - designed for floating pin applications to reduce wear at high stress.
• Precision cap alignment sleeves for accurate cap fitment and durability.
• Uses ARP 2000 rod bolts, 3/8" diameter, torqued to 43 ft-lb with ARP moly lube.
• Weight matched set (approximately 535 g per rod) for balanced performance and smooth operation.
• Big end width and pin end width optimized (≈ 0.897") for stock block housing clearance.
• Recommended for performance builds up to ~900 horsepower for 4-cylinder SR20 engines under proper tuning and supporting mods.

Product Description

The Eagle CRS5365N3D is a performance-level forged 4340 steel H-beam connecting rod set explicitly engineered for the Nissan SR20 family (SR20DE / SR20DET). These rods are built from two-piece forging with precision machining, shot-peening, magnaflux, and sonic testing to ensure superior strength and durability under elevated RPM and boost. The bushings accommodate floating piston pins, which is especially useful in turbocharged SR20DET builds. Each rod is weight matched (≈ 535 g each), uses high quality ARP 2000 3/8-inch rod bolts, and delivers reliable operation up to around 900 horsepower in proper setups.

These rods are ideal for serious engine builders or enthusiasts doing high-boost or high-rev SR20 builds who need stronger rods than stock for improved reliability. When installing, ensure piston pin, block bore, and oiling are correct for SR20 spec. Torque rod bolts to 43 ft-lb with proper lubrication. While fitment is confirmed through 2024 for all SR20DE / SR20DET applications, 2025 vehicles using these engines are rare or unverified - 2025 unconfirmed.
