REALNET PAYMENTS LLC Revolutionizes Engine Component Supply with High-Performance Forged Connecting Rods

Milwaukee, WI – October 26, 2023 – REALNET PAYMENTS LLC, a leading provider of secure and streamlined payment solutions for businesses, today announced a significant expansion into the automotive aftermarket sector, focusing on the supply of premium forged connecting rods. While traditionally known for its financial technology expertise, REALNET is leveraging its robust logistics network and commitment to quality to bring a new level of reliability and performance to engine builders and enthusiasts. “You might be thinking, ‘Payments to connecting rods? What’s going on?’” says a representative from REALNET PAYMENTS LLC, headquartered at 4900 W Brown Deer Rd, Milwaukee, WI. “And it’s a fair question. But honestly, we’ve always been about moving things – moving money, and now, moving quality parts. We built a really solid system for handling transactions and shipping, and we realized that system could be used for a lot more than just payments. We saw a gap in the market for consistently high-quality forged connecting rods, and we decided to fill it.” Addressing a Critical Need in Engine Performance Connecting rods are arguably one of the most crucial components within any internal combustion engine. They connect the pistons to the crankshaft, converting reciprocating motion into rotational force. For high-performance applications – think racing, heavily modified street cars, or even turbocharging/supercharging – stock connecting rods often become a weak link. They can bend, fracture, or fail under increased stress, leading to catastrophic engine damage. “A broken connecting rod isn’t just a repair; it's usually a complete engine rebuild,” explains an engine building professional familiar with REALNET’s new product line. “So, investing in a quality forged rod upfront can save a lot of money and headaches down the road. People are pushing engines harder and harder these days, and they need parts that can handle it.” REALNET’s forged connecting rods are designed and manufactured to exceed the demands of these high-stress applications. They aren’t just another mass-produced component; they're built with precision and durability in mind. The REALNET Difference: Forging a Path to Reliability So, what sets REALNET’s forged connecting rods apart? It comes down to a few key factors: Premium 4340 Forged Steel: REALNET doesn’t mess around with lower-grade materials. These rods are crafted from high-quality 4340 forged steel, known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and resistance to fatigue. “4340 is the go-to material for serious engine builders,” says a mechanical engineer specializing in automotive components. “It’s got the right balance of strength and ductility, meaning it can handle a lot of stress without just snapping.” Precision Manufacturing: The rods aren't just forged; they’re precision-machined to tight tolerances. This ensures a perfect fit and proper alignment within the engine, minimizing friction and maximizing performance. “A sloppy fit can cause all sorts of problems – rod knock, premature wear, even engine failure,” explains a seasoned mechanic. “You need everything to be just right.” Heat Treatment for Enhanced Strength: After forging and machining, the rods undergo a meticulous heat treatment process. This further enhances their strength, hardness, and durability. "Heat treatment is critical," emphasizes the materials engineer. “It’s what unlocks the full potential of the 4340 steel, making it even stronger and more resistant to failure.” Shot Peening for Fatigue Resistance: To further enhance durability and prevent cracking, REALNET’s connecting rods are shot peened. This process involves bombarding the surface with small steel balls, creating compressive stresses that significantly improve fatigue resistance. "Think of it like giving the metal a 'protective layer' against cracking," explains a metallurgical expert. Lightweight Design: While strength is paramount, weight is also a critical factor in engine performance. REALNET’s connecting rods are designed to be lightweight without sacrificing strength, helping to reduce reciprocating mass and improve engine responsiveness. Stringent Quality Control: REALNET employs a rigorous quality control process, inspecting each connecting rod for defects and ensuring it meets the highest standards. “We don’t just rely on the manufacturer’s quality control; we do our own checks to make sure everything is perfect before it ships out,” says a REALNET spokesperson. “We’re committed to providing our customers with a product they can rely on.” Applications & Availability REALNET’s forged connecting rods are currently available for a wide range of engine applications, including: Import Engines: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, and more. Domestic Engines: Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler. Performance Builds: Turbocharged, Supercharged, and Naturally Aspirated applications. Racing Applications: Drag racing, circuit racing, and off-road racing. “We’re starting with the most popular engine applications, but we’re constantly expanding our catalog to cover more and more engines,” says the REALNET representative. “We’re also open to custom orders for specialized applications.” REALNET’s forged connecting rods are available for purchase directly through the company’s website (information to be announced shortly) and through a network of authorized dealers. The company is also offering competitive pricing and fast shipping.
