Maxpeedingrods delivers high-performance 4340 EN24 H-beam connecting rods specifically designed for the legendary Peugeot 106 GTI / Citroen Saxo VTS TU5J4 1.6L engine. Measuring 137.75mm, these conrods are an indispensable upgrade for kit car builds, track racing, or any serious motorsport application where maximum reliability and power are paramount.

Fortify Your TU5J4 Engine for Kit Car & Motorsport Applications

Crafted from premium 4340 EN24 forged steel, these H-beam connecting rods are engineered to withstand the extreme stresses of high-revving, high-compression TU5J4 engines. The H-beam design provides an optimal balance of strength and lightweight characteristics, crucial for reducing rotating mass and improving throttle response while offering superior resistance to bending and fatigue. Each rod undergoes meticulous manufacturing, including shot peening for enhanced fatigue resistance and precision machining for exact fitment and balance. This robust construction is vital for preventing common bottom-end failures in highly tuned TU5J4 engines, allowing you to confidently push past factory limits. For enthusiasts building a formidable Peugeot 106 or Citroen Saxo, these Maxpeedingrods conrods are the foundation of a truly high-performance engine.

Race-Proven Strength for Peugeot 106 & Citroen Saxo 1.6L

Verdict

The TU5J4 is a fantastic engine, especially in 106 GTI and Saxo VTS form, but it has limits when pushed for kit car or race applications. These Maxpeedingrods 137.75mm H-beam conrods are exactly what's needed. The 4340 EN24 material is bulletproof, and they'll allow you to rev higher and make more power reliably. A must-have for any serious TU5J4 build.
