IE'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.
Features:
- 20mm wrist pin, works with all aftermarket 20mm pistons and some* stock pistons
- Forged from vacuum drawn 2 piece 4340 chrome moly steel
- Upgraded H beam design greatly increases strength and durability
- Combination tested to 700HP on 4 cylinder engines

- Individual computer optimized design to match unique VW/Audi engine applications
- Honed to exacting tolerances within 250 millionths of an inch
- Optional forced pin oiling (rifle drilling) for long wrist pin life
- Each connecting rod set is balanced to weights within +/- 1 gram
- Dimensionally and magnaflux inspected to ensure extreme reliability
- Multi-stage heat treated for dimensional stability and fatigue life
