PRODUCT OVERVIEW
ZRP Forged I-Beam Connecting Rods
High-strength forged connecting rods engineered for high-performance Audi / VW 2.0L TFSI EA888.3 applications.
FITMENT: EA888.3
Suitable for Audi / VW 2.0L TFSI EA888.3 chain-driven engines. The straight-cut pin end requires the use of aftermarket pistons.
The ZRP I-Beam connecting rods are manufactured from 4340 high tensile steel and designed for high performance, extreme durability and increased rigidity. They feature OEM-style rifle drilling to improve lubrication around the wrist pin and a straight-cut pin end for increased durability.
The rods use AMPCO 18 bronze bushings for excellent resistance to wear and fatigue, with a radial groove providing an oil reservoir. Each rod is shot peened to relieve material stress and multi-stage heat treated to increase strength and rigidity.
Tight production tolerances ensure accurate fitment while maintaining optimised oil clearances. Bend and twist are tightly controlled throughout the manufacturing process.
