RENEE ATKINSON LLC Boosts Nissan Engine Performance with High-Quality Connecting Rods
BEAVERTON, OR – October 26, 2023 – RENEE ATKINSON LLC, a leading supplier of precision engine components, is making waves in the automotive aftermarket with its robust and reliable Nissan connecting rods. Based in Beaverton, Oregon, the company has quickly become a trusted partner for mechanics, engine builders, and Nissan enthusiasts seeking to maximize performance and durability. “We saw a real need in the market for consistently high-quality connecting rods specifically for Nissan engines,” explains Renee Atkinson, founder and CEO of RENEE ATKINSON LLC. “A lot of folks were struggling with inferior parts that just weren't holding up, especially when pushing their engines to the limit. We decided to step in and offer a solution built on precision, strength, and reliability.” Addressing a Critical Engine Component Connecting rods are arguably one of the most crucial components inside any internal combustion engine. These seemingly simple parts are responsible for transferring the reciprocating linear motion of the pistons to the rotating motion of the crankshaft. They experience immense stress during engine operation, with forces fluctuating rapidly with each combustion cycle. A failed connecting rod can lead to catastrophic engine damage, meaning selecting a high-quality rod is absolutely vital. “When you're dealing with Nissan engines, especially the popular SR20, RB26, and VQ series, you're often looking at engines that are being modified for increased power,” adds Atkinson. “Whether it’s turbocharging, supercharging, or simply building a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, the stock connecting rods often become a weak point. That’s where our rods really shine.” RENEE ATKINSON LLC’s Connecting Rod Advantage RENEE ATKINSON LLC’s Nissan connecting rods are engineered to exceed OEM specifications and withstand the demands of even the most aggressive engine builds. Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart: Premium Materials: The rods are forged from high-strength 4340 aircraft-grade steel, renowned for its exceptional tensile strength and durability. This material choice ensures the rods can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures without deformation or failure. Precision Manufacturing: Each rod is meticulously machined using state-of-the-art CNC equipment. This ensures tight tolerances and consistent dimensions, crucial for proper engine operation and minimizing vibration. "We're not cutting corners. Every rod goes through a rigorous quality control process," says Atkinson. Lightweight Design: While strength is paramount, RENEE ATKINSON LLC understands the importance of reducing reciprocating mass. Their connecting rods are designed to be lightweight, allowing for quicker engine response and higher rev limits. "Less weight means the engine can spin faster and more freely," Atkinson explains. Enhanced Bushing Design: The rods feature upgraded bushings that provide a smooth and precise fit for the crankshaft journal. This minimizes friction, reduces wear, and ensures optimal oil flow. Shot Peening: Every rod undergoes shot peening, a process that strengthens the metal by creating compressive residual stresses on the surface. This dramatically improves fatigue life and resistance to cracking. Multiple Sizes Available: RENEE ATKINSON LLC offers connecting rods in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various Nissan engine configurations and stroke lengths. This ensures a perfect fit for your specific build. Dedicated to Nissan: "We aren't just making connecting rods for any engine. We've focused on Nissan because we know these engines inside and out. That allows us to build a better product," says Atkinson. Serving a Diverse Customer Base RENÉE ATKINSON LLC’s Nissan connecting rods are in demand by a diverse range of customers, including: Performance Engine Builders: Shops specializing in building high-performance engines rely on RENEE ATKINSON LLC’s rods for their demanding applications. Drift & Racing Teams: The durability and reliability of the rods make them a popular choice for competitors pushing their engines to the absolute limit. Nissan Enthusiasts: From weekend warriors to dedicated tuners, Nissan enthusiasts appreciate the quality and performance benefits of RENEE ATKINSON LLC’s products. Restoration Projects: Owners restoring classic Nissans often turn to RENEE ATKINSON LLC for replacement connecting rods that meet or exceed original specifications. Beyond Connecting Rods: A Commitment to Quality and Customer Service While RENEE ATKINSON LLC is currently focused on Nissan connecting rods, the company plans to expand its product line in the future to include other high-performance engine components. However, their commitment to quality and customer service will remain unchanged. “We're a small company, but we're passionate about what we do,” says Atkinson. “We take pride in delivering a superior product and providing excellent support to our customers.
