Description
These Integrated Engineering aftermarket rods are the best bang for your buck when building your engine! These are the early model Audi/VW rod of choice for 99.9% of engine builds where stock pistons are retained. These rods coupled with stock pistons have been installed on hundreds of cars with great success. We have installed dozens of these rods on in house vehicles without a single hick-up. Factory 20mm rods will fatigue and break over time at 350+whp where these replacement rods will withstand power levels much higher than that. Although no limit has been reached we would assume they should be good for ~600whp+ for extended use without failure. These rods have been used in several applications with AEB/AWD stock pistons making in excess of 650whp with no rod related issues!! Put these in your 300+whp build and have piece of mind without breaking the bank! These rods work in all early 4cly motors with 20mm wrist pins, not just 1.8T applications, these are also for use in 1999-00 AWD engine code vw golf/gti/jetta, All TT225, early 180TT, and AEB engine code Audi A4/VW Passat from 1997-1999.5. These rods are 144mm in length and will not work with ABA motors, you need 159mm rods, 21mm wrist pins.
