We focus on providing durable, reliable parts that stand up to the demands of street driving, track days, and everything in between. And right now, we're really excited to talk about what we're doing for Mazda owners – specifically, our line of high-performance connecting rods. Why Connecting Rods Matter (Especially for Mazdas) Let's be real – a lot of people don't think much about connecting rods until something goes wrong. They're tucked away inside the engine, but these little guys are absolutely critical to how your engine makes power. Simply put, connecting rods link the pistons to the crankshaft. Every time your engine fires, the pistons move up and down, and the connecting rods transfer that motion into rotational force that ultimately powers your wheels. For Mazda engines, particularly those being pushed beyond factory specs – like the popular rotary engines (13B, 20B) and turbocharged four-cylinders – stock connecting rods can become a weak link. Why? Because when you increase boost, add nitrous, or just consistently drive hard, you’re putting way more stress on those rods. The forces involved are immense, and factory rods, designed for a specific power level, can start to bend, stretch, or even snap. That's where Raining Mountain LLC steps in. Raining Mountain LLC Mazda Connecting Rods: Built to Handle the Heat We've engineered our Mazda connecting rods to be a significant upgrade over the factory parts. We understand that Mazda enthusiasts aren’t messing around – you want reliability and performance. Here's what sets our rods apart: Superior Material: Forget that basic steel. Our connecting rods are forged from premium 4340 steel – an alloy known for its incredible strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. Think of it like this: your stock rods might be built for a weekend cruise, but our 4340 steel rods are built for a full-on demolition derby (not that we recommend that!). This material can withstand significantly higher loads and stresses without deforming. Precision Manufacturing: We don’t just toss metal into a mold. Our rods are meticulously machined using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology. This ensures incredibly tight tolerances and consistent quality, rod after rod. This precision minimizes vibration, reduces friction, and ultimately contributes to increased engine performance and longevity. Enhanced Design: We’ve optimized the rod's design for strength and weight reduction. This means we've carefully considered the rod’s length, big-end diameter, and small-end bushing design. Lighter rods reduce reciprocating mass, allowing the engine to rev more freely and quickly. This translates to faster acceleration and a more responsive driving experience. Heat-Treated for Durability: Forging is just the first step. We subject our rods to a precise heat treatment process that further enhances their strength and hardness. This ensures they can withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures inside a high-performance engine. Perfect Fit, Every Time: We understand that Mazda engines come in various configurations. That's why we offer connecting rods specifically designed for popular Mazda engines, including: Rotary Engines (13B, 20B): Our rotary-specific rods are designed to handle the unique stresses of these engines, addressing common failure points. Turbocharged 2.0L (SkyActiv): For those pushing the limits of their turbocharged SkyActiv engines, our rods provide the added strength and reliability you need. Turbocharged 2.5L (SkyActiv): Same story as the 2.0L - we've got you covered for increased boost and power. ARP2000 Fasteners Included: We don’t skimp on the details. Each set of Raining Mountain LLC connecting rods comes with high-quality ARP2000 connecting rod bolts. These bolts are renowned for their exceptional strength and clamping force, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. Who Should Upgrade to Raining Mountain LLC Connecting Rods? Mazda Enthusiasts Building a Performance Engine: If you're building a rotary engine, turbocharging a SkyActiv engine, or just aiming for a significant power increase, our connecting rods are a must-have. Track Day Drivers & Racers: High-revving engines and demanding track conditions put a tremendous strain on connecting rods. Our rods provide the added durability you need to withstand the abuse. Anyone Pushing Their Engine Beyond Factory Limits: If you’re modifying your engine in any way that increases power output, upgrading your connecting rods is a smart investment that can prevent catastrophic engine failure. Those Seeking Peace of Mind: Even if you're not necessarily aiming for maximum power, upgrading to our connecting rods provides a safety net and ensures you can enjoy your Mazda without worrying about potential engine damage.
