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 rigorously 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Specific Engineering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorture Tested Reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIE Tuscan rods for turbocharged applications feature a robust I-Beam design for incredible bending and torsional stiffness. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished And Quality Controlled In the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis level of attention to detail is mirrored in the manufacturing details as well. Each set of Tuscan connecting rods are honed in the USA to tolerances of around 250 millionths of an inch! This ensures amazing bearing reliability you really cannot find elsewhere in this price range. These rods are as round and true as any rods money can buy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41039860138146,"sku":"IERTVT1","price":1072.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/IERTVT1-2_112fcc51-525b-4800-b938-1db28c902287.jpg?v=1633746840","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/connecting-rods-integrated-engineering-tuscan-i-beam-144x22-rods-2-0t-audi-vw-w-aftermarket-pistons","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
