Carrillo

Carrillo is a well-known name in high performance engine parts and is especially associated with connecting rods for motorsport, tuning and serious engine builds. The brand is today part of CP-Carrillo, which in turn belongs to Pankl Racing Systems, and the company manufactures both pistons and connecting rods for demanding applications where strength, precision and durability are crucial. Pankl itself describes CP-Carrillo as a manufacturer of high-performance engine parts with a focus on race-proven quality and very tight tolerances.

Carrillo is especially known for its connecting rods for performance and racing engines, where standard parts are often not strong enough for high boost pressure, high RPM or heavy load over time. The parts are produced in Irvine, California, where advanced manufacturing is combined with more traditional craftsmanship, and the brand itself highlights both material quality and technological development as a central part of its identity.

This makes Carrillo relevant for many types of engine projects, including turbocharged, supercharged and motorsport engines, where high demands are placed on the bottom end. Over many years, the brand has been used in serious performance builds and is often associated with solutions where a high safety margin and components developed for hard use are desired rather than just standard replacement parts. Pankl also describes its racing division as a specialist in, among other things, connecting rods, pistons, bolts and other engine components for extreme conditions in motorsport.

At Qualitec, Carrillo is therefore an obvious brand choice for anyone looking for connecting rods and related engine parts for high performance engine builds where quality and durability are important. Whether the project is built for track use, drag racing or a heavily upgraded road car, Carrillo is a strong choice when you want proven performance components from a manufacturer with strong roots in motorsport.
