Creating a strong rod is one thing. The real challenge is crafting a robust beam while maintaining a lightweight design. Our unique I-Beam shape is the result of an extensive process to identify the high-stress areas placed on the rod in a high-performance 3.0T engine. The resulting design evenly distributes these high-compressive loads across the strongest parts of the beam. This painstakingly iterative practice puts the material strength where it's needed, and trims the fat where it's not. Enjoy the confidence in an incredibly strong rod that won't slow down your rotating assembly with unnecessary weight.
Strength lies in the details. Our iE Tuscan connecting rods are forged from vacuum-drawn 4340 chrome moly steel, then surface-peened for enhanced fatigue strength. Each casting undergoes rigorous dimensional and magnaflux inspections to ensure top-quality forgings. Precision machining and diamond honing achieve critical tolerances of approximately 250 millionths of an inch. Finally, the rod sets are meticulously balanced to match weights within +/- 1 gram of each other, delivering a high-quality connecting rod set straight out of the box.
To complement the strength of our connecting rod design, we've collaborated with the experts at JE Pistons to produce an equally robust iE Spec forged piston set. Extensive testing revealed that the factory piston compression ratio in the EA839 engine is susceptible to excessive knock in very large turbo/high-boost builds. In response, JE has developed a performance 3.0T piston forging with our optimized 10:1 compression ratio. These pistons boast additional features for high-performance builds, including Tuff Skirt coating, robust ring supports, sturdy 983M material forgings, and large 22mm wrist pins.
Features:
- Innovative I-Beam design to withstand up to 1000ft-lbs of torque

Integrated Engineering was founded in 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was started by two brothers Peter and David Blais. The two shared the same passion for racing, and this has jumpstarted the two to create Integrated Engineering.
The company specializes in manufacturing performance products such as rods, camshafts, valve trains, and Billett accessories. Today, they have become a household name when it comes to performance.
German Car ExpertsIntegrated Engineering focuses on producing performance products for Audi and VWs. As the experts in these platforms, they are able to pinpoint exactly what parts need to be improved to bring out the best in those vehicles. The company considers not only the performance gain but its reliability as well. Their goal is to turn these vehicles into a better performing machine without compromising its reliability.
Attention to Detail is the KeyTo create top quality products, the company carefully studies each design detail using specialized software. This enables them to fine-tune the design before it goes to actual manufacturing. They first test their design in ABS plastic to ensure that all measurements are accurate and on the spot. Once everything has been checked, their performance products are then tested in their in-house engine and chassis dyno machine for long hours to test its performance and reliability.
This attention to detail has enabled their parts to perform in extreme conditions and withstand the punishment usually endured during high-performance applications.
