【Capacity Upgrade Kit VR38DETT 4.3L STEP Pro BCD】
The strengthened crankshaft can withstand even higher torque based on the VR38 4.3L STEP3 KIT
Features
- The crank for STEP Pro changed the material to nitride steel and treated the surface with ion nitriding to improve durability by enhancing the surface hardness and hardened layer.
- Expand the R-corner of the fillet weld in the crankpin to improve the torsion strength.
- Prevents fretting by extending the crank nose 10 mm longer.
- The counterweight employs an asymmetric shape to be compatible with the torsion strength and the response.
- The tungsten is used on the counterweight to achieve the balance rate improvement and response.
-
Pulley mounting part that extended 10 mm and highly efficient counterweight using the tungsten.
-
Expand the R-corner of the fillet weld in the crankpin to improve the torsional rigidity of the crankshaft
-
The connecting rod with a clearance shape to avoid contact with the enlarged R-corner of the fillet weld in the crankpin.
-
An asymmetrical crank having an increased thickness counterweight #8 for increased torsional strength.
-
Reduced weight for counterweights #2 and #5 to improve response.
-
The billet piston uses A2618 material with high-temperature strength.

【CONROD BEARING ADJUSTMENT VR43 STEP Pro】
Introducing a clearance adjustment and chamfering service for the connecting rod bearings of the VR38 4.3L STEP Pro.
Features
- The crankshaft for the VR43 STEP Pro has an enlarged corner radius at the crank pin to increase torsional strength. This requires chamfering of the connecting rod bearings.
- When you purchase a new STEP Pro FULL KIT, we will provide a service to adjust the clearance of the sub-metal and chamfer the bearings for an additional fee.
- The connecting rod bearings are genuine Nissan parts that are also used in our COMPLETE ENGINE and have been WPC treated.
- Once the adjustment is complete, the product will be temporarily assembled with a connecting rod and delivered. The connecting rods will be stamped with numbers 1 to 6 to identify the cylinders.
- Please note that the bearing surface will be slightly scratched by the cylinder gauge probe, but this will not affect the function.
-
The corner R of the pin part has been enlarged.
-
The big end of the connecting rod is chamfered.
-
Pre-installed connecting rod bearings
