Forged connecting rods are a popular upgrade for 2.0 8V/ 16V ABF ABA AAD 2E, as they offer a number of benefits over the stock cast connecting rods. In this article, we'll take a look at what forged connecting rods are, how they differ from cast connecting rods, and why they are a good option for 2.0 8V/ 16V.
First, let's define what connecting rods are and their role in the engine. Connecting rods are part of the piston assembly, and they connect the piston to the crankshaft. They are responsible for transferring the force of the expanding gases in the combustion chamber to the crankshaft, which converts this force into rotational motion.
Connecting rods are typically made of either cast or forged material. Cast connecting rods are made by pouring molten metal into a mold, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. Forged connecting rods, on the other hand, are made by using high-pressure machines to shape a piece of metal into the desired shape.
There are a number of advantages to using forged connecting rods over cast ones. Forged connecting rods are stronger and more durable than cast ones, which makes them less likely to fail under high loads and high RPMs. They are also lighter than cast connecting rods, which reduces the overall weight of the engine and improves its performance.
