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.

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.

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 comprehensive loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous VW\/Audi engines with over 1000bhp! 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinished And Quality Controlled In USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.

For years Integrated Engineering H-beam Rods have been an integral part of delivering the power that the highest powered turbo setups and race engines demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp 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 light weight, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVEHICLE FITMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - A4 2009-2015 (B8 - B8.5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - A4 Allroad 2009-2015 (B8 - B8.5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - A5 2008-2015 (B8 - B8.5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - Q5 2008-2015 (8R) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - A6 2012-2015 (C7 - C7.5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - TT 2008-2015 (MK2 - 8J) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - A3 2006-2013 (MK2 - 8P) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudi - Q3 2011-2015 (8U) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - GTI 2006-2009 (MK5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - GTI 2010-2014 (MK6) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - Jetta \u0026amp; Jetta GLI 2010-2014 (MK6) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - Jetta SportWagen 2011-2014 (MK6) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - CC 2009-2015 (3C8) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - Passat 2006-2010 (B6) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - EOS 2006-2015 (1F7) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVW - Beetle 2011-2015 (MK2) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*ENGINE CODES: CCTA, CCZA, CCZB, CBF, CBFA, CAEB                    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*REQUIRES FACTORY 21MM WRIST PIN TAPERED PISTONS ONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897629569318,"sku":"IERHVT1","price":519.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2131\/5878\/products\/integrated_engineering_connecting_rods_vw_audi_tsi.jpg?v=1682127367"},{"product_id":"integrated-engineering-1-8t-20v-valve-spring-retainer-kit","title":"Integrated Engineering 1.8T 20v Valve Spring\/Retainer Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Valve Spring\/Retainer Kits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntegrated Engineering is proud to bring you this very high quality valve spring kit for 20V 1.8T engines.

A un-calibrated torque wrench can lead to under\/over torque and rod bolt failure. Torque each rod bolt to a final torque of 50 ft\/lbs. We recommend torquing the bolt, breaking it loose, and re-torquing the bolt 3 times per bolt. This ensures proper rod bolt stretch and that the rod cap is fully seated. Do not exceed 50 ft\/lbs.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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, perfect for today's powerful and high rpm European applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVEHICLE FITMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi - A4 2009-2015 (B8 - B8.5) 2.0T TSI EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp;

They facilitate valve movement and keep them perfectly centered on the valve seats. Lastly, they allow heat to transfer from the combustion chamber into the cylinder head, which is then cooled by engine coolant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes time to rebuild your cylinder head, it's very likely that you will find the OEM valve guides worn beyond wear limits. As mileage begins to add up, the inside diameter of your valve guides will wear, causing excessive clearance with the valve stems. Even on engines that have no modifications, it is common to see oil consumption, irregular valve wear, or even complete valve failure if the guides have become excessively worn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntegrated Engineering performance valve guides work as direct OEM replacements, while offering several unique features to improve performance and increase longevity. IE valve guides are manufactured in our CNC machine shop from a proprietary bronze alloy and feature ultra-high concentricity for exact valve placement. This ensures that the head of the valve sits in the exact center of the seat, removing any possibility of leaks. Our premium alloy improves wear resistance , reduces friction, and improves heat transfer. By increasing thermal conductivity by 10%, you can expect extended valve life and reduced wear on valvetrain components. To increase airflow through the intake and exhaust ports, we have designed our valve guides with aerodynamic  tip that does not protrude into the airstream like the factory units.

We also offer them with +.5mm overbore (83mm bore), which increases displacement to 2008cc and allows you to bore and hone the block to the exact specifications required to ensure best results. We recommend overbore pistons on most builds (unless the engine has very low miles) to ensure a perfect piston to cylinder fit and long-life operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eREQUIRES AFTERMARKET CONNECTING RODS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese piston sets include high-quality 22mm diameter German steel wrist pins and wire locks. Strenuous testing of multiple pin sizes on this piston and engine combination has determined the 22mm pin is ideal for weight, strength, and durability. To match these pistons, a 2.0T TSI specific connecting rod with a non-tapered 22mm small-end is required. IE offers multiple industry-leading performance connecting rod options that are a direct fit and perfect match for your 2.0T TSI bottom-end build.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePERFORMANCE STRENGTH WITH OE RELIABILITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe only way to make an aftermarket performance piston operate like an OEM piston is to design it like one. These pistons are designed with a proprietary factory-style dish on the crown, which is absolutely necessary for smooth operation with the direct injection system. If this shape of dish is not used, combustion is poor and engines do not run smoothly. In order to call these pistons the ultimate replacements for OEM, they need to fit like them. They are made with the same oil squirter notches found on factory pistons. These Pistons do not require any modifications for squirter clearance or fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGRAFAL SKIRT COATING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain OEM-like wear characteristics, these pistons are coated with Mahle’s Grafal skirt coating. This coating reduces friction on the skirts, keeping them quiet and from wearing over time- extending piston life. The grey appearance of these pistons is due to a phosphate coating. Providing a lubricant film in the pin bores and ring grooves, this coating is essential for initial startup and break-in of the engine to prevent micro-welding and galling. Features like these are what allow these pistons to last for thousands of miles, just like OEM units.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eLONG-LIFE PISTON ALLOY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese pistons are manufactured from Mahle’s proprietary 142P alloy. This unique alloy offers the low-expansion characteristics of 4032 but strength near that of 2618 alloy. The low-expansion quality allows piston-to-wall clearances to be set tight, which allow the pistons to operate like OEM, quietly and smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMAHLE PERFORMANCE PISTON RINGS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded is a set of performance piston rings, featuring a barrel-faced top ring, ductile iron, and 3 piece oil ring. These rings are designed to eliminate unnecessary drag, which reduces friction and increases power. To maximize power output, the clearances between the rings and piston have been brought in very tightly to reduce blow by. This is achieved by hard anodizing the top ring lands, which prevents micro welding which could be caused otherwise. Beneath the top ring and second ring lands an accumulator groove is machined, which provides a cavity where blow-by gasses can collect. This reduces pressure between rings, while virtually eliminating ring flutter and keeps top rings sealed securely against the bores.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"82.5mm Stock Bore - MAH-PVN1","offer_id":44898452144422,"sku":"MAH-PVN1","price":997.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"83mm Bore - MAH-PVN2","offer_id":44898452177190,"sku":"MAH-PVN2","price":997.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2131\/5878\/products\/mk7iespecpistons1_1.1533688035.jpg?v=1682144371"},{"product_id":"integrated-engineering-race-intake-camshaft-for-vw-audi-1-8t-20v-engines","title":"Integrated Engineering Race Intake Camshaft For VW\/Audi 1.8T 20V engines","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTEGRATED ENGINEERING RACE CAM FOR 500+HP BUILDS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe IECVA1-2 Race Intake Camshaft when matched with our IECVA1-1 Race Exhaust Camshaft is our most aggressive cam set combination.
