Audi EA824 4.0T V8 Forged Internals — Rods & Pistons Kit
The Audi EA824 4.0L twin-turbo V8 is the first-generation high-output platform behind the RS6 (C7), RS7 (C7), S6 (C7), S7 (C7), and S8 (D4). Known for its robust architecture and massive tuning headroom, the EA824 has become a popular big-power platform — responding aggressively to turbo upgrades, E85 fueling, and ECU calibration. But the factory cast internals become the ceiling beyond 800HP.
YPG Motorsport's forged internals kit replaces the factory rods and pistons with forged H-beam connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons, rated for 1,500HP+ and built to handle sustained high-boost abuse. The go-to bottom-end upgrade for any serious EA824 build.
What's Included
- 8x Forged H-beam connecting rods (ARP hardware)
- 8x Forged aluminum pistons with rings and wrist pins
- Balanced and matched set
Why Upgrade
- Factory cast internals are the failure point beyond 800HP
- Forged components handle higher cylinder pressure and heat under big turbo and E85 builds
- Essential for any RS6/RS7 C7 pushing serious power
- Drop-in fitment — no block machining required
