The Wright Performance Rods

The Wright Performance Rods were designed based on Aviation Technology, providing reduction of the total weight of your engine, plus increase of performance, reduction of noise and less wear and tear of your engine.

Originally you could only get these types of rods if you want to modify your engine for racing, but Wright Precision Parts philosophy is to offer anyone the chance to change their engine even if they will never race.

Metal

Most of the Wright Precision rods are made of 6061 aluminum, heat-treated to the T6 specification. For the High Performance Engines these rods can be made of 7075-T6. Both materials are highly-advanced, aerospace-derived, aluminum alloy. The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) originally developed this revolutionary alloy for the Boeing Company to use in wing spars and other high-strength, lightweight structures in military and commercial aircraft.

These Alloys will reduce the Momentum of Inertia (sorry for the technical word), what will decrease the stress when the crankshaft will change the direction of movement of the piston, reducing or eliminating the “Knocking” and increasing the power and acceleration of the engine.

Standard or Custom Made

The Wright Precision Rods can be manufactured at standard sizes, identical to the ones already in your engine, or at any specific length you desire to increase the compression ratio of your engine (High Performance Engines). Those are great news for clients that want to increase the performance without the trouble of modifying the head or the block of their engines, or even in some cases replace them without removing the engine.

Bolts

The bolts in the Wright Precision Rods are certified Jet Engine Aviation Bolts with a tensile strength of between 180,000 and 210,000 psi. These Rod Bolts can withstand the tensions from a normal day trip to the highest stress of a race.
