Tuscan connecting rods 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.

Designed Through Technology
Tuscan connecting rods represent the leading edge of technology for bottom end strength, reliability, and light weight. Our Engineering staff utilizes the most modern technology to optimize these rods to a level never before seen at the enthusiast level. Breaking away from the status quo, our Engineers go above and beyond by individually optimizing each connecting rod application.

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.

Engineered Performance, 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 compression loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with over 18 months of field testing, powering numerous 4 cylinder VW / Audi engines with over 1000 bhp!
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.

Standard Rifle Drilling
To keep wrist pin wear at the minimum, all of our Tuscan I Beam forged rods are outfitted with standard rifle drilling. Rifle drilling forces pressurized oil through a small orifice placed vertically through the rod and further lubricates the pin and bushing. This extra oiling causes less wear and friction between the rod and piston and increasing the life of the internals.

Perfect and would buy again and again
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
This was our chiweinnie dogs favorite toys! Perfect for puppy curiosity. The male puppy is extremely rough play and works until he tears out the squeaker out of every toy we buy. Love that you can buy replacements affordably. He did finally win the battle but it was not easy to rip apart I give 5 stars to hold up to 4 pups and one destroyer dog.

Pups love these sneakers
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
My pups really enjoy these toys—they love the squeakers and stay entertained chasing them around. Perfect size for small dogs and puppies, and they’re soft enough for indoor play. The only downside is they don’t hold up forever with heavy chewing, but for the price and fun factor, they’re definitely worth it.

Good for a small to medium dog
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
These replacement ones were bigger than anticipated but work well for my small dog. Pretty durable (and she likes to destroy toys)

Perfect Toy for the Picky Dogs!
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
These are replacement squirrels. I had these for my own dogs. When I noticed how much enjoyment they got out of them, I purchased them as gifts. My brother’s 20 lb dog is so picky, but I took a chance. The squirrel toys are the only ones he plays with. According to my brother, his dog ignores treats and toys, but loves the squirrels. A friend of mine said the same thing. She also has small dogs, 25 lb & 30 lb. They preferred the squirrels. This toy is not for big dogs. Unless they’re gentle, they will probably be torn apart very quickly. They are very easy to chew on, the squeak isn’t loud, there’s no smell and very entertaining!
