Nitto H-Beam Connecting Rods - Subaru FA24 - WRX (VB) / BRZ (ZD8) / Toyota GR86 (ZN8)
A set of four H-beam connecting rods for the Subaru FA24, fitted to the VB WRX (FA24DIT), the ZD8 BRZ and the Toyota GR86 (FA24D). They are an affordable upgrade for mid-level turbo or supercharged builds on the street and at the track.
One version is listed: 129 mm centre to centre. Note that these rods are machined to take an EJ-series big-end bearing, not the FA24 bearing, so order EJ big-end bearings with them.
Every Nitto steel rod starts as double-melted 4340 billet, a cleaner material than the single-melt steel common in the aftermarket, and is forged as one piece for a consistent grain structure. The H-beam is Nitto's value option: a simpler design to machine that keeps the price down for builds that need more strength than stock but not the heavy-duty margin of an I-beam.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
