Nitto H-Beam Connecting Rods - Toyota 1JZ-GTE - Chaser / Cresta / Mark II (JZX90 / JZX100) / Soarer (JZZ30) / Supra (JZA70)
Nitto H-beam connecting rods for the Toyota 1JZ-GTE, as fitted to the Chaser, Cresta, Mark II, Soarer and JZA70 Supra. They are a big step up from the factory rods for boosted street, drift and weekend drag builds.
The rods are 125.2 mm long (centre to centre) to suit the factory 1JZ stroke, and use 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts.
Nitto H-beam rods are the value step in the range: the same double-melted 4340 billet forging, heat treatment and finishing as the I-beam, with a simpler beam design that keeps the price down. They suit builds that need a much stronger link than the factory rod without going to a heavy-duty I-beam, and come with ARP 2000 bolts and silicone bronze pin bushes.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
