Product Description

The Eagle CRS5428T3D is a premium high-performance H-beam connecting rod set designed specifically for the Toyota 3S-GTE engine (2.0 L DOHC Turbo, 16-valve). Forged from SAE 4340 steel and manufactured to tight tolerances, these rods feature ARP-2000 bolts, shot-peening, magnaflux / NDT quality control, and are weight matched for high power builds. Each rod measures 5.428" center-to-center, matching OEM 3S-GTE length and geometry. Ideal for high revving and boosted conditions, these rods are rated for roughly 750-900 hp when properly assembled with matched crank, pistons, and related engine internals.

Fitment is confirmed through 1995 for the Toyota Celica All-Trac, Celica GT-4 / ST185, and MR2 (SW20) Turbo with the 3S-GTE engine. Use of this rod set in other 3S variants or non-turbo applications is unconfirmed. Ensure crank journal, pin bore, wrist pin size, and housing bore match the listed specs. Through-2025 verification: fitment confirmed through 1995; 1996+ and engine swaps using 3S block require additional verification.
