In 1963, Fred Carrillo set out to manufacture the finest Connecting rods available...
Today, Carrillo is still a trusted leader in the field.
Each 149.71mm S14 rod is forged from "Carrilloloy " a proprietary alloy blend of USA sourced ingredients: Carrillo's Rods start off different
for a reason. All heat treat processes are via a mar-aged operation, resulting in UTS of 195,000 with a yield of 182,000 while maintaining the critical elements of low notch-sensitivity and ductility.
Carrillo uses proprietary chrome, nickel, moly, vanadium alloy which meets all VAR (vacuum arc re-melt ASTM standards). The heat is validated, both by the supplier and an independent metallurgist whom confirm the desired physical and chemical properties of steel.
As a billet of Carrilloloy, they are worked into the specific forging using the latest technology, enabling Carrillo to dictate the grain flow they want to see for the ideal strength to weight ratio.
Each con rod is then heat treated, and subjected to rigorous material tests ensuring forgings are of the highest quality, with world class precision.
This application is an optimal balance for a high revving, high output S14.
VAC Works closely with the Pankle family of race products, including Carrillo / CP Pistons. This ensure you optimal fit and fitness to your application including critical specifications like HP & Tq output, RPM, Stroke, Weight and more.
Don't just take our word for it; Carrillo is found in winning race engines of all types around the world.
(All con rods are priced individually)
