just a quicky guys does anyone run the above rods can get them from the state good price just wondered if they were any good thanks
 
I have them, not yet fitted, but lovely looking bits of kit.

Sam Bryant is running them in his engine, as are many others on the Seat forum.

Welly also has a set in his new build.

Bill looked at mine, and said they were very much identical to the IE rods I believe.

Good kit as far as I'm concerned (Y)
 
Pluss one gazz, how much can you them for?
 
They are made by Issam from INA, i have a set of rifle drilled ones for my stroker kit
 
Already have it but not fitted yet, 2008cc kit using the 83mm pistons, 2 litre TFSI crank and 144x20 rods
 
Very nice. What turbo you ptting with that then?
 
I'm looking to purchase a set of these too for my build. Haven't heard anything bad about them.
 
Didn't mean to delete that last post.

So the 2.0tfsi is the same as the 1.8t just stronger and different pistons needed. Cool.
 
not sure what you mean by stronger dan?

tfsi crank when used in transverse 1.8t strokers has the oil pump drive sweated on, and special pistons which alter the pin height..

92,8mm crank on 82.5mm pistons in a 1984cc ABF engine for example has 159mm rods, but its block is some 15mm taller measuring crudely from base to top of block.
 
Very nice. What turbo you ptting with that then?
I have a GT2871R kit but being as i decided to have a go at making the leon 4WD (hence me joining here as i will be using S3 rear end) i thought i'll go even bigger.
Looking into the 500's now, some the new borgwarner EFR series are very tempting
 
emm very good then no bad points ill be ordering in the next few day to reserve some hes out of stock at the min for three week
 
4wd leon just perfect.
Wanted a leon but the audi 4wd swung it for me.
o please keep us updated.
 
Doing my build now pal head off tomoz waiting on new rods so not yet ha.

There in a kit or on there own I no the kit is 830 dollars think about 500 dollars for the rods pal
