With Manley’s meticulous manufacturing process, you’ll get components that deliver consistent performance and long-term dependability.

Key Features:

The Pro Series I-Beam Connecting Rods combine advanced engineering and premium materials to ensure optimal strength and weight balance. Key features include:

• Precision-forged I-beam design for superior strength-to-weight ratio and durability under high stress.
• Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel, providing excellent fatigue resistance and toughness.
• Shot-peened and stress-relieved to enhance fatigue life and reduce the risk of failure under extreme conditions.
• Fully machined with tight tolerances to ensure perfect fitment and smooth operation within the engine.
• Compatible with the factory crankshaft and pistons for straightforward installation without modification.
• Designed to support increased horsepower and torque typical of turbocharged applications.
• Ideal for engine builds requiring upgraded bottom-end components to handle boost and high RPM reliably.

Construction & Design:

Manley’s Pro Series rods are forged from premium alloy steel using a carefully controlled process that ensures uniform grain structure and maximum strength. The I-beam shape is chosen for its excellent balance of rigidity and reduced weight, which helps improve engine response and durability.

Each rod undergoes shot peening and stress-relieving treatments to minimize internal stresses and extend fatigue life, critical for turbocharged engines subjected to high cylinder pressures. Precision machining guarantees consistent dimensions and bearing clearances, promoting smooth engine operation and longevity.

Installation & Fitment:

This connecting rod set is designed as a direct replacement for the factory rods in the Dodge Neon SRT-4 2.4L DOHC turbo engine. Installation uses existing OEM mounting points and hardware, requiring no modifications to the engine block or crankshaft.

No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required, making it a straightforward upgrade for engine builders and performance enthusiasts looking to increase the strength of their engine’s rotating assembly.
