When increasing the power output of your EA113 2.0T FSI engine, internal parts begin to fail as they are pushed far beyond their original factory spec limits. Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods are designed to replace the factory units and take the beating from today's high-output power modifications. Drive fast and reliably with IE performance rods, guaranteed to support 700HP!
When increasing the power output of your EA888 2.0T Gen 1 & 2 engine, internal parts begin to fail as they are pushed far beyond their original factory spec limits. Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods are designed to replace the factory units and take the beating from today's high-output power modifications. Drive fast and reliably with IE performance rods, guaranteed to support 700HP!
Adding a larger turbo or more boost to your VW/Audi 2.0T TSI (EA888 Gen 1, 2, & 3) engine? Upgrade the weak links in your block and keep your engine together reliably with IE's market-leading Volkswagen and Audi forged connecting rods!
VW/Audi 1.8T -Ì_åÇ__ ProH2K (formerly Sportsman) w/ARP2000 Fasteners. Made from aerospace grade, 4340 chromoly steel, BC high performance connecting rods deliver the reliability required to turn up the boost, the nitrous and/or the RPM range. Every rod is CNC machined, micropolished surface finish treatment, equipped with Aluminum/Silicone/Bronze pin bushings and finish honed to exacting tolerances.
BoostLine Connecting Rods by Wiseco are designed to stand up to boost and nitrous. The patent pending design is stronger and has 60% more bending strength than the common H-beam! Each rod includes 100% CMM inspected and included a signed quality report in the box.
Tuscan connecting rods represent the leading edge of technology for bottom end strength, reliability, and lightweight. Our Engineering staff utilizes the most modern technology to optimize these rods to a level never before seen at the enthusiast level. Give your engine a reliably strong connecting rod set that is rated for engines up to 1000BHP!
Designed Through TechnologyIE's Tuscan connecting rod sets are the best rods available for your European engine due to quality, custom application specific design, and thorough testing. 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.
Application Specific EngineeringEach 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.
Torture Tested ReliabilityIE 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.
The ultimate in VW & Audi Connecting Rod Strength from IE, these 144X22 Tuscan I-beam Connecting Rods for your 2.0T TSI (EA888 Gen 1, 2, 3) engine when used with aftermarket pistons, will provide incredible strength against extreme performance builds in a lightweight package.
VW/Audi 1.8T - ProH625+ w/ARP Custom Age 625+ Fasteners. Made from aerospace grade, 4340 chromoly steel, BC high performance connecting rods deliver the reliability required to turn up the boost, the nitrous and/or the RPM range. Every rod is CNC machined, micropolished surface finish treatment, equipped with Aluminum/Silicone/Bronze pin bushings and finish honed to exacting tolerances.
IE forged drop-in rods upgrade the weak stock units without changing the factory piston. Strengthen your VW/Audi EA888 Gen 1 & 2 TSI engine for a larger turbo or more boost and keep your engine running reliably.
IE drop-in rods are designed to be used with the stock 21mm tapered wrist pin pistons in your engine. No modification or machine work is required, making for a faster and easier connecting rod upgrade. Most builds utilizing drop-in rods can be done with the block remaining in the vehicle. Perfect for engine builders looking to upgrade power beyond stock rod levels, but the power limits of the stock pistons have not been reached.
