Audi EA825 4.0T V8 Forged Internals — Rods & Pistons Kit
The Audi EA825 4.0L twin-turbo V8 is the current-generation powerplant behind some of the most capable performance sedans and SUVs on the road — the RS6 Avant (C8), RS7 (C8), RSQ8, S6 (C8), S7 (C8), and S8 (D5). The same engine also powers the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Continental GT V8 / Bentayga V8. With aggressive ECU calibration, larger turbos, and E85 fueling, the EA825 responds with massive power gains — but the factory cast internals become the failure point 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 on pump fuel or ethanol. The essential bottom-end upgrade for any serious EA825 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/RSQ8 pushing serious power
- Drop-in fitment — no block machining required
