ARP Rod Bolt Kit - Subaru EJ20 Turbo / EJ Non-Turbo - WRX (GC / GD) / Forester GT (SF) - Press Fit
This ARP rod bolt kit suits the EJ engine. Rod bolts are some of the most highly loaded fasteners in an engine, pulled hard on every stroke at high rpm. ARP rod bolts replace the factory items with a stronger bolt, so the big end stays round and clamped.
Before you order: ARP lists EJ18–EJ25 non-turbo and EJ20 turbo. Not listed for the EJ25 turbo (EJ255/EJ257).
See the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full list of vehicles.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended.
Features
- Made in the USA by ARP
- ARP torque spec: 42 ft-lb (57 Nm), or use a stretch gauge with ARP Ultra-Torque
