Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rod Single Nissan CA18 Skylline 1984-1990
$240.99

When it comes to performance parts, Eagle is a name that’s earned its stripes. Their commitment to quality isn’t just talk; it’s what keeps folks coming back for more. Over the years, they’ve expanded their lineup, bringing crankshafts and top-notch connecting rods into the mix. And let me tell you, these aren’t just any rods. They’ve been crafted with care, using advanced materials and manufacturing techniques that put them at the top of the aftermarket game.

Take the Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods, for instance. These bad boys are made from forged 4340 steel, which means they’re built to withstand the kind of abuse that would leave lesser rods crumpled. The two-piece forging process gives them a strength that you can really feel when you’re pushing your engine to its limits. Plus, they’re fully machined, shot-peened, and polished, so you know you’re getting a product that’s not only tough but also smooth and precise. Sizing is held to exact tolerances, so you can trust that these rods will fit right in without any hassle.

What’s really cool is that you can specify the weight you need when you order. This is a game-changer for those of us who are serious about performance. You’re not just getting a one-size-fits-all solution; you’re getting something tailored to your specific setup. These rods are recommended for extreme applications, so whether you’re racing or just pushing your ride to the max, they’ve got your back.

Here are some of the nitty-gritty details: they come with 3/8" ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts, which are known for their strength and reliability. The center-to-center length is 5.236", with a pin size of 0.787" and a pin end width of 0.83". The rod journal measures 1.7705", and the housing bore is 1.89". With a big end width of 0.955" and a typical weight of 565g, these rods are designed for full-floating piston pins, making them a solid choice for any serious build.

If you’re wondering about fitment, these rods are compatible with a range of Nissan models, including the CA18 Skyline from 1984 to 1991, the CA18 Bluebird from 1985 to 1990, and several others like the CA18 Pulsar and Silvia. Just make sure to torque them to 60 ft-lbs using ARP Moly Lube for optimal performance.

In short, if you’re looking to upgrade your Nissan’s internals, these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods are worth considering. They combine quality, performance, and a bit of customization to give you exactly what you need to keep your engine running strong.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
