EuroCode RS3/TTRS MAHLE/IE Piston/Rod combo
Brought to you by the original #rs3fastmakers, Eurocode is excited to announce the release of another complete drop-in piston/rod combination for the 2.5L evo2 DAZA and DNWA motor.
Capable of supporting in excess of 1000 horsepower, our upgrade requires no modifications to the engine block.
Included in the combination are Eurocode/Mahle pistons with Integrated Engineering connecting rods.
Eurocode/Mahle Motorsport Drop in Pistons
- Proprietary MAHLE skirt coating, designed for use with TWAS cylinder walls, no engine sleeving required
- 4032 alloy forging, which allows quiet but strong performance for high boost pressures
- Machined to exact tolerances on purpose-built equipment manufactured by Mahle
- Coated with a phosphate dry lubricant used to defend against strains caused by initial engine start-up
- Hard anodized top ring groove to protect against mico-welding, ensuring ring performance in harsh environments
- Custom H13 material, thick wall wrist pin
Eurocode/Mahle Motorsport Piston Rings
- HC385 coated steel 1.0mm top, 1.2mm napier 2nd & 2.8mm oil ring set
- Steel thin ring design which delivers low mass and extended RPM range without loss of ring stability
- Unequaled strength and fatigue resistance
Integrated Engineering Connecting Rods
- Top of the line bending and torsional stiffness from the unique I-Beam design
- ARP 2000 rod bolts stamped with "IE" to ensure a genuine product
- Connecting rod strength to weight ratio is #1 in the industry.
- Tolerances within 250 millionths of one inch
- Long wrist pin longevity from forced pin oiling (rifle drilling)
- All rods balanced to within +/- one gram
- All rods forged from vacuum drawn two-piece 4340 chrome-moly steel.
- Dimensionally and magnaflux inspected for extreme reliability.
- Tested to withstand over 1000 BHP on 4 cylinder engines.
- Multi-stage heat treat for dimensional stability and fatigue life.
Designed Through Technology
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.
Application Specific Engineering
Each 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.
Torture Tested Reliability
IE Tuscan rods for turbocharged applications feature a robust I-Beam design for incredible bending and torsional stiffness. Additionally, an extensive iterative process lead 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 comprehensive loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous VW/Audi engines with over 1000bhp! 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.
Finished And Quality Controlled In USA
This 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.
