Vehicle Fitment

• 1989-2002 Nissan Silvia S13 / S14 / S15 (SR20DE, SR20DET, RWD)
• 1989-2002 Nissan 180SX S13 (SR20DE, SR20DET, RWD)
• 1989-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 (SR20DE - swap application)
• 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX S14 (SR20DE - swap application)
• 1991-2001 Nissan Sentra B13 / B14 / B15 (SR20DE, FWD)
• 1991-1994 Nissan NX2000 (SR20DE, FWD)
• 1989-2002 Nissan Bluebird U12 / U13 / U14 (SR20DE, SR20DET, FWD/AWD)
• 1990-2002 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R N14 / N15 (SR20DET, AWD)
• 1990-2001 Nissan Primera P10 / P11 (SR20DE, FWD)
• 1991-2001 Infiniti G20 P10 / P11 (SR20DE, FWD)
• 1995-2002 Nissan Avenir (SR20DE, SR20DET)

Fitment Notes

• Fits Nissan SR20DE and SR20DET engines with 17mm rod pin diameter only
• STDX size = standard crankshaft diameter with +0.001" extra oil clearance - no crankshaft machining required
• Preferred over STD for high-performance and turbocharged builds targeting slightly looser oil clearance for improved flow and reduced heat buildup
• RWD SR20DET (S13/S14/S15 Silvia, 180SX) and FWD/AWD SR20DE/SR20DET (Bluebird, Pulsar, Sentra, Primera) share the same rod journal specs and use this bearing
• 240SX is a swap application only - stock 240SX uses KA24DE; confirm SR swap before ordering
• SR20VE and SR20VET: verify rod journal diameter independently before ordering

Features

• pMax Black tri-metal overlay is 24% harder than conventional race bearings via a proprietary nano-scale molecular hardening process
• Intermediate load capacity of 17,000 psi and overlay load capacity of 10,200 psi for sustained high-boost, high-RPM SR20 applications
• STDX extra clearance sizing delivers +0.001" additional oil clearance over STD - ideal for performance builds and high-heat applications
• XP-series narrowed crank cheek profile eliminates dangerous fillet ride on high-radius aftermarket crankshafts
• SecureBond adhesion process bonds all tri-metal layers for superior structural integrity under extreme loads
• Wall thickness tolerance held to ±0.0001" - up to 2.5x tighter than competitor standards - for consistent shell-to-shell fitment
• Increased crush height improves bearing-to-bore contact and reduces spin potential at high RPM

Product Description

The King CR4136XPSTDX is a standard-diameter XP-series connecting rod bearing set with +0.001" extra oil clearance, engineered for Nissan SR20DE and SR20DET 2.0L four-cylinder engines. The STDX designation means no crankshaft machining is required - these bearings fit a stock or unground crank while providing slightly more oil clearance than a standard STD shell. This makes them the preferred choice for turbocharged and high-performance SR20 builds where additional oil flow and reduced friction at the rod journal are prioritized, particularly in S13, S14, and S15 Silvia and 180SX applications.

Built with King's pMax Black tri-metal construction and SecureBond adhesion, the CR4136XPSTDX delivers a 24% harder overlay and up to 17,000 psi intermediate load capacity - well above what standard OE-replacement bearings can handle under sustained boost and high-RPM conditions. The XP geometric profile features a narrowed crank cheek side and increased crush height to improve bearing-to-bore contact and eliminate fillet ride risk on aftermarket crankshafts. With wall thickness held to ±0.0001", these bearings offer exceptional consistency that minimizes selective fitting and simplifies assembly on both street and race builds.
