{"product_id":"integrated-engineering-forged-connecting-rods","title":"Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods","description":"Integrated Engineering's IERHVT2 forged connecting rods are built for EA888 2.0T Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 engines that have been pushed beyond their factory specifications. Designed to replace weaker stock components, these H-beam rods are constructed from durable 2-piece 4340 forgings, offering strength, rigidity, and stiffness for high-output applications.\n\nEach rod features a 144mm center-to-center length and a 21mm wrist pin diameter, specifically intended for use with aftermarket pistons. The design is computer-optimized for relevant cylinder pressures and utilizes modern CAD and FEA analysis to balance strength and weight. The big end bores are honed in-house to ensure precise tolerances for proper bearing operation and include generous wrist pin oiling. They come standard with ARP 2000 rod bolts, stamped with \"IE\" for authenticity.\n\nThese connecting rods are compatible with a wide range of VW and Audi models equipped with EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2 2.0T TSI engines, including various generations of the A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, TT, GTI, Jetta, Passat, and others. They require the use of aftermarket pistons with a 21mm wrist pin. Installation requires specific torque specifications for the ARP 2000 rod bolts, with a recommended final torque of 50 ft\/lbs, and a stretch measurement of .006”.","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52867538321720,"sku":"IERHVT2","price":471.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687955427.webp?v=1787911784","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/integrated-engineering-forged-connecting-rods","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
