Product Details
Description
Experience the Tuscan Advantage with iE's premium connecting rod technology, engineered specifically for high-boost Audi 3.0L EA839 engine builds. Our Tuscan I-Beam design targets weaknesses in factory-installed rods, delivering unmatched bottom-end strength, optimized bearing stability, and extended fatigue life for dependable performance under demanding conditions.
Crafted for optimized weight, our unique I-Beam shape ensures exceptional strength without unnecessary bulk. Through meticulous design and iterative refinement, we distribute high-compressive loads across the strongest parts of the beam, maximizing material strength where it matters most while minimizing weight for an agile rotating assembly.
Precision manufacturing is paramount in achieving superior quality. Forged from vacuum-drawn 4340 chrome moly steel and surface-peened for enhanced fatigue strength, each rod undergoes rigorous dimensional and magnaflux inspections to guarantee top-quality forgings. Precision machining and diamond honing achieve critical tolerances, with rod sets meticulously balanced to match weights within +/- 1 gram, ensuring a high-quality connecting rod set straight out of the box.
Complementing our robust connecting rod design, our collaboration with JE Pistons has produced iE Spec forged pistons tailored for high-performance builds. With an optimized 10:1 compression ratio and features like Tuff Skirt coating, robust ring supports, sturdy 983M material forgings, and large 22mm wrist pins, these pistons are engineered to withstand the rigors of high-boost applications.
Please note that iE Tuscan Rods require aftermarket pistons with 22mm wrist pins for proper compatibility and performance.
