Description

Engineered for strength, precision, and endurance, K1 Technologies Connecting Rods are designed to meet the demands of high performance and motorsport applications. With years of experience in developing components for professional racing engines, K1 brings race-proven engineering to the MINI platform, offering a significant upgrade for both tuned road cars and dedicated track builds.

Each connecting rod is manufactured from 4340 forged steel, a high-tensile alloy renowned for its superior fatigue resistance and durability under extreme stress. This material undergoes a multi stage heat treatment and shot-peening process to maximise strength and lifespan, making these rods ideal for high-boost turbocharged MINI N14 and N18 engines.

To ensure absolute reliability, every rod is equipped with ARP 2000 fasteners, providing exceptional clamping force and resistance to stretch at high RPM. The combination of these premium materials and fasteners gives the K1 rods outstanding structural integrity, capable of handling increased cylinder pressures and power levels well beyond OEM specifications.

Each rod is CNC machined to exacting tolerances and balanced to within a gram, ensuring consistent performance across all cylinders and maintaining engine balance. The small-end bushings are precisely honed for full-floating piston pins, further enhancing reliability and smooth operation under heavy load.

The result is a connecting rod that delivers the perfect balance of light weight, strength, and precision, essential for anyone looking to build a robust and responsive MINI N14 or N18 engine.
