**BRUTE Forged Connecting Rods for 1.8T**

**AL@PagParts.com** · 08-01-2009 08:39 AM

1.8T I-Beam Forged FPO Rods with Forged Piston Set

Made from Cr. Mo.Ni.Steel (SAE 4340) forgings. Heat treated to ensure internal as well as external strength and to facilitate uniformity of strength throughout the entire rod. All rods come complete w/ ARP2000 Fasteners. Wrist pin oiling Rifle drilled.

Brute Connecting Rods utilize forced pin oiling to facilitate a more reliable bottom end. We have found that under normal operation, dry pin bushings that rely on oil squirters and windage require a rebush far sooner then is acceptable to us. Ensuring that the pins recieve adequate pressurized lubrication can more then double the life expectancy. Since rebushing a tapered rod is an extremely complicated process, the added peace of mind is a good thing.

WE DO NOT DRILL OUT STANDARD RODS. THESE RODS ARE MANUFACTURED TO ACCEPT DRILLING TO KEEP STRENGTH

**20aeman** · 08-01-2009 08:59 AM

wish I ordered these from you arnold. Ordered a set of rods and have been waiting for almost half a year.

**AL@PagParts.com** · 08-01-2009 09:03 AM

No worries Omar, I want to see your car rip w/ the setup

Looooooong story, so I won't divert this thread...

But I will say that Arnold has been the one of the most reliable and trustworthy vendor I've dealt with on the forums. These Brutes come with the edm standard, and as such, you won't have to wait for edm machining (which has been one of my issues for why it's taken so damn long to get a set of rods)

**crazyass713** · 08-01-2009 09:24 AM

Sweet, do you have a good supply of these for me to buy up Arnold?

**AL@PagParts.com** · 08-01-2009 09:25 AM

Of course Jake. Have them in stock

**1.8t67** · 08-01-2009 11:04 AM

looking good my friend, looking good.

**AL@PagParts.com** · 08-01-2009 11:17 AM

Thanks J.

**boraturbo01** · 08-03-2009 10:23 AM

wish these were out when i bought my rods. i will just have to get them when i need mine rebushed.

**GLI_jetta** · 08-03-2009 11:51 AM

Hey, nice rods... Need some CP's to go with them

**INA** · 08-03-2009 02:20 PM

for PC & AL
These rods are INA Approved!

**joedubs** · 08-05-2009 06:19 PM

can't wait to get mine

Arnold has been great to deal with. I'm really looking forward to working with him for more of my build.

responded. All PM's replied. BTW, Brutes are manufactured w/ rifle drilling in mind. They are not standard rods pulled and drilled. Keep it together guys

**dubbin' on Jlines** · 08-07-2009 06:20 PM

which ones are for awp motor

**AL@PagParts.com** · 08-07-2009 06:22 PM

19mm would be for the awp motor in h-beam config

**dubbin' on Jlines** · 08-07-2009 07:00 PM

ok thanks

**mescaline** · 08-18-2009 09:40 AM

are there any HP estimates for 19mm ones? you should pack up some rod swap kit, with all gaskets and stuff

**boosted b5** · 08-18-2009 09:44 AM

my buddy just picked up the I-beams and some Wisecos, The Ibeams are tits. definently nicer than my Scats are

They are rated at 500hp but I wouldnt hesitate to throw more at them. The beauty of the tapered rods is the forced pin oiling. The thin section up top is adequately lubed and cooled which keeps heat down and the bushing intact. Tapered rods are engineered to eliminate as much reciprocating weight as possible under revs to keep the engine quiet. Perhaps its one of the reasons why we can use high comp pistons under revs and dont make the knock sensors go crazy... Knowing this throughout the years and the nature of bushing replacement on tapered rods, why not make them as reliable as possible?

As for engine packages, just ask. I've been doing it for years.

I know, they are beautiful rods. I'll stack them up to Pauter any day.

Yes, they are heat treated and shot peened after the forging process

**50trim S** · 08-31-2009 10:34 AM

are these made in china like the other company that makes rods that are compatible with 19mm pistons?

also are there only 2 companies that are made for the 19mm's?

No, these arent

**BoostinBejan** · 09-01-2009 06:01 PM

Are brutes made in the USA? where are they made?

**20thAEGti1009** · 09-01-2009 06:57 PM
