The Ford Barra is an underrated combination that has an incredible amount of potential when pushed to the limit. A product of Australia, this 4.0L 6 cylinder motor is capable of some special things, but its major downfall is that its large capacity limits its ability to rev enough for various racing applications. As such, we have developed the ultimate combination that finds the happy medium between the ability to rev highly and retaining a large capacity.

The Nitto 3.8L destroke kit is a globally acclaimed item, holding world records and continues to grow in popularity. The kit includes custom Nitto/CP pistons available in both 92.5mm/+0.010” and 92.75mm/+0.020”, cut from CP’s Turbo HD forging in low silicon content 2618 material. The pistons are equipped with our custom crown specifications, PVD ring sets, full round skirt design, accumulator grooves and horizontal gas ports.

The connection between the crankshaft and the piston is made possible by the 158mm aluminium Nitto/Carrillo connecting rod. These connecting rods are specifically designed for applications well in excess of 3000hp and for drag racing purposes. We have combined with our friends at Carrillo to deliver you this state of the art piece that has been responsible for holding multiple world records.

Completing the kit is the tested and proven 94mm stroke 3.8L destroker crankshaft. This crankshaft has been purposely designed with strength and high power applications in mind. The crankshafts are an immaculate piece with precision manufactured knife edging to reduce weight and cut through crank case oil mist with ease. This enables the crankshaft to rev freely and easily.

For drag racing applications, we highly recommend the use of Trend TP-1 pins or an equivalent gudgeon pin.
