Pauter Machine

Custom 127mm Pauter X-beam lightweight connecting rods for use in normally aspirated aircooled Porsche engines when upgrading to the Porsche GT3 76.4mm stroke crankshaft. They are set up for 23mm wrist pins. When installed with the 76.4mm GT3 crankshaft, a 1mm base shim will be required when paired with any Porsche 911 3.2 piston and cylinder set. The effective compression ratio will be approximately a quarter point higher than the advertised compression ratio assuming standard 90cc chambers with a 1mm deck height. Pauter connecting rods utilize E4340 vacuum-melt chrome-moly forgings and are fully CNC machined and heat-treated to Rockwell C36. Pauter rods feature full coverage shot peening and are end-to-end balanced in sets. Each Pauter connecting rod comes with ARP 2000 bolts rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength and aluminum-bronze wrist pin bushings standard. Pauter's unique X-beam construction balances strength and weight reduction while reducing horsepower losses due to crankcase windage. We recommend running Pauter rods with our coated Clevite race connecting rod bearings for both street and track (sold separately).
