Nitto V2 I-Beam Connecting Rods - Toyota G16E-GTS - GR Yaris (GXPA16) / GR Corolla (GZEA14)
Nitto V2 I-beam connecting rods for the Toyota G16E-GTS in the GR Yaris and GR Corolla. The V2 is Nitto's flagship steel rod, built for the highest-power G16E builds.
The rods are 143.74 mm long to suit the factory stroke, with 7/16" ARP 2000 bolts and a 22 mm (0.866") pin.
Compared with Nitto's standard I-beam, the V2 has a revised beam pocket that adds material in key areas, profiled beam sides and pin end, and upgraded CHE pin bushes. In RB30, 2JZ and Barra engines the V2 has handled more than 2000 hp. For milder builds, see the Nitto I-Beam Connecting Rods.
Note: These rods use a 22 mm pin, so they need 22 mm-pin pistons such as the Nitto V2 Forged Pistons, not Nitto's standard G16E pistons (24 mm pin). Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
