Product Description

The Eagle CRS5680N3D H-beam connecting rods are engineered for high-performance applications in Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped with the 3.5L VQ35DE engine. Constructed from forged 4340 steel, these rods offer exceptional strength and durability, making them suitable for engines producing up to 750 horsepower. The H-beam design reduces weight while increasing rigidity, and the shot-peened finish enhances fatigue resistance.

Each rod is precision-machined to exact tolerances and equipped with ARP 2000 3/8" rod bolts to ensure reliable clamping force. The rods are weight-matched for improved engine balance and have been magnafluxed and sonic-tested to ensure structural integrity. Designed for use with floating wrist pins, these rods are ideal for high-performance applications up to 750 hp in 6-cylinder engines.

Please note that these rods are not clearanced for stroker setups; verify compatibility with specific engine modifications. Fitment is confirmed through 2009; 2010+ models may not use the VQ35DE engine. Always consult with a professional to ensure proper fitment and compatibility with your specific engine build.
