Carillo manufacture serious rods and have joined with CP to develop rod and piston sets suitable for the Nissan GT-R. The CP pistons are a forged upgrade over the standard VR38’s cast items. The forged construction allows improved strength at a potential lower weight.

The Carillo connecting rods (conrods) are also forged in a H-beam configuration. The OE rods are forged too but are I-beam design. The H-beam rods are usually lighter than their I-beam counterparts while maintaining similar strength characteristics.
