Integrated Engineering ensures the success of your next engine build by putting each set of connecting rods though a rigorous quality control process. 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 style=\"padding: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\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 style=\"padding: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable dir=\"ltr\" border=\"0\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-spacing: 0px; empty-cells: show; font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cimg title=\"hbeam\" alt=\"hbeam\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urotuned.com\/photos\/hbeam.gif\" height=\"139\" width=\"139\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eH BEAM DESIGN:\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe H-beam design is the workhorse of our connecting rod product line.
