Skunk2 Alpha Series Connecting Rods – FA20 Engine
The Skunk2 Alpha Series connecting rods for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 are engineered for high-performance and forced-induction engine builds where strength, reliability, and precise tolerances are critical.
Designed specifically for the FA20 engine, these connecting rods are manufactured from forged aircraft-grade 4340 chromoly steel and feature a wide H-beam design for increased strength and resistance to bending under extreme load. This construction makes them ideal for turbocharged, supercharged, and high-RPM naturally aspirated builds where OEM components are no longer sufficient.
Each set is precision-machined and weight-matched to strict Skunk2 standards and supplied with high-strength ARP2000 rod bolts, rated at 220,000 psi, ensuring reliable clamping force and durability in demanding performance applications.
