Each Tuscan design is different from any other design because they are custom-crafted and optimized by our engineers using the latest CAD and FEA software. This is in contrast to the industry standard which simply resizes standard designs to fit new engines. Each application is vigorously tested in our in-house engine test cell. We have gone the extra mile to design specific big ends for each application, keeping the bearing in place and reducing chances of failures. This results in a connecting rod that is uniquely strong and light, for the ultimate in performance and reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Specific Engineering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach model is detailed out with a unique feature set that ensures proper operation within the unique demands of that engine. There is a particular emphasis placed on providing a stable foundation for the connecting rod bearing. By providing a stable platform for the rod bearing, much higher reliability is possible. For that reason, the feature set is not consistent across all models of IE Tuscan rods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorture Tested Reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIE Tuscan rods for turbocharged applications feature a robust I-Beam design for incredible bending and torsional stiffness. Additionally, an extensive iterative process lead to the unique Egg shape of our rod beams, which lowers stresses as much as 20% compared to less evolved designs. This shape very evenly distributes the high compressive loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous 4 cylinder VW \/ Audi engines with over 1000 bhp! In addition to being tough, IE Tuscan rods are also designed to minimize unnecessary weight on the connecting rod for an ultra balanced weight to strength ratio. Our engineering staff has spent countless hours trimming the fat- leaving exactly what is needed to get the reliability you want, with the weight you don't. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished And Quality Controlled In USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis level of attention to detail is mirrored in the manufacturing details as well.

All rods in this series feature generous wrist pin oiling and optional rifle drilling. One of the hallmarks of a high quality connecting rod is its strength to weight ratio. In order to create this balance of strength and lightweight, our optimized H beam design is utilized and validated using modern CAD drafting and FEA analysis techniques.

Integrated Engineering ensures the success of your next engine build by putting each set of connecting rods through a rigorous quality control process. For years Integrated Engineering H-beam Rods have been an integral part of delivering the power that the highest powered turbo setups and race engine demand.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtra attention has been paid to even the smallest details such as the bearing tangs, wrist pin fit, and big end side clearance, providing a level of fit and finish not found anywhere else. Each and every set is finish machined and honed in-house for perfectly round and on size big-end bores, resulting in the industry's lowest failure rates. All rods in this series feature generous wrist pin oiling and optional rifle drilling. One of the hallmarks of a high quality connecting rod is its strength to weight ratio. In order to create this balance of strength and lightweight, our optimized H beam design is utilized and validated using modern CAD drafting and FEA analysis techniques. These techniques ensure the rod is as light and strong as possible, perfected for today's powerful and high rpm European applications.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVEHICLE FITMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUDI - A4 2005-2008 (B7) 2.0T EA113 TFSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUDI - A6 2005-2011 (C6) 2.0T EA113 TFSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUDI - A6 Allroad 2005-2011 (C6) 2.0T EA113 TFSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUDI - TT 2008-2015 (MK2 - 8J) 2.0T EA113 TFSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUDI - A3 2006-2013 (MK2 - 8P) 2.0T EA113 TFSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW - GTI 2006-2009 (MK5) 2.0T EA113 FSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW - Jetta \u0026amp; Jetta GLI 2006-2010 (MK5) 2.0T EA113 FSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW - Passat 2006-2010 (B6) 2.0T EA113 FSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW - EOS 2006-2015 (1F7) 2.0T EA113 FSI engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*ENGINE CODES: BUL, BWA, BWE, BWT \u0026amp; BYK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*FITS STOCK PISTONS WITH 20MM TAPERED WRIST PINS ONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARE THESE ARE DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR MY FACTORY RODS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese rods fit VW\/Audi EA113 2.0T FSI engines found in many VW\/Audi chassis and are a direct replacement for the factory rod when installed with 20mm tapered wrist pin factory pistons only.

This is in contrast to the industry standard which simply resizes standard designs to fit new engines. Each application is rigorously tested in our in-house engine test cell.

Additionally, an extensive iterative process leads to the unique Egg shape of our rod beams, which lowers stresses as much as 20% compared to less evolved designs. This shape very evenly distributes the high compressive loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous 4 cylinder VW \/ Audi engines with over 1000 bhp! In addition to being tough, IE Tuscan rods are also designed to minimize unnecessary weight on the connecting rod for an ultra-balanced weight to strength ratio. Our engineering staff has spent countless hours trimming the fat- leaving exactly what is needed to get the reliability you want, with the weight you don't. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished And Quality Controlled In USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis level of attention to detail is mirrored in the manufacturing details as well.

The real challenge is crafting a robust beam while maintaining a lightweight design. Our unique I-Beam shape is the result of an extensive process to identify the high-stress areas placed on the rod in a high-performance 3.0T engine. The resulting design evenly distributes these high-compressive loads across the strongest parts of the beam. This painstakingly iterative practice puts the material strength where it's needed, and trims the fat where it's not. Enjoy the confidence in an incredibly strong rod that won't slow down your rotating assembly with unnecessary weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRECISION MANUFACTURING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrength lies in the details.

Precision machining and diamond honing achieve critical tolerances of approximately 250 millionths of an inch. Finally, the rod sets are meticulously balanced to match weights within +\/- 1 gram of each other, delivering a high-quality connecting rod set straight out of the box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eiE SPEC JE FORGED PISTONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo complement the strength of our connecting rod design, we've collaborated with the experts at JE Pistons to produce an equally robust iE Spec forged piston set.

In response, JE has developed a performance 3.0T piston forging with our optimized 10:1 compression ratio. These pistons boast additional features for high-performance builds, including Tuff Skirt coating, robust ring supports, sturdy 983M material forgings, and large 22mm wrist pins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIMPORTANT NOTE: iE Tuscan Rods require aftermarket pistons with 22mm wrist pins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax torque: 1000ft-lbs (per set of 6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig end diameter: 58.74mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall end diameter: 22mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter to center: 155mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJournal width: 20.04mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall end style: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 4340 chrome moly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt: Genuine ARP 2000 3\/8-1.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (w\/bolts): 630 grams average\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible bearings: Genuine Audi 3.0T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTOOLS \u0026amp; SUPPLIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrepare a clean indoor work surface such as a stainless bench.
