RELIABLE PRECISION ASSEMBLED BOTTOM END FOR YOUR 500HP+ ENGINE BUILD
This Integrated Engineering precision shortblock is the strong and reliable basis for your high performance build. After countless hours of engineering and torture testing in our in-house dyno and machine facilities, our engineers and race engine technicians have determined the best selection of parts and build specifications for both street and race builds that will deliver strong performance with the upmost reliability.
Once the OEM VW/Audi block is cleaned and multi-point inspected, an Integrated Engineering torque plate is bolted to the block for an exact tolerance cylinder over bore and hone. This secures the block into the proper shape during the boring process guaranteeing true round cylinders and achieving precise piston to cylinder wall clearances. Along with perfect file fit piston rings, the block deck receives a fresh machined surface for a proper head gasket seal and strong compression. The maincaps are installed and measured to exacting specifications using new OEM main studs ensuring exact roundness for proper crank stability. The rotating assembly is then installed with Integrated Engineering forged Tuscan I beam rifle drilled connecting rods, IE Spec Mahle forged pistons, Mahle Motorsport rod and main bearings, and a polished/chamfered OEM forged crankshaft by an IE expert engine builder. The final short bock assembly includes a multi-point critical dimension check list with all measured clearances, and a instruction & care pamphlet. To complete your engine build, match your high-performance short block with an Integrated Engineering industry leading performance cylinder head.
IE 144X22 Tuscan I beam Connecting Rods
IE's premium level Tuscan I-beam connecting rods are utilized in this assembly to deliver industry leading strength and reliability. The Tuscan rod design is custom-crafted and optimized by our engineers using the latest CAD and FEA software, resulting in a uniquely strong and light connecting rod guaranteed to stand up to even the craziest performance builds. With the included rifle drilling option, oil is forced to the wrist pin by means of a small hole drilled through the rod vertically. This reduces friction on the pin and pin bushing, thus reducing wear. This is extremely beneficial on street cars that are driven frequently.
IE Spec 9.5:1 CR 83mm Mahle Motorsport Forged Pistons
The included set of forged Mahle pistons make for a stout reliable engine for daily driving, road racing, drag racing, or full out competition racing. Utilizing OE experience and innovative concepts, Mahle has continually adapted existing piston designs to combat challenges of aftermarket demands. Mahle pistons utilize weight optimized aluminum pistons manufactured from high-temperature resistant aluminum silicon alloy. This alloy along with Mahle's refined design and production technology enable an ideal combination producing pistons with low weight and high load-bearing capacity. Mahle pistons are treated with their own GRAFAL skirt coating, this greatly reduces the skirt to wall surface friction and increases scuffing resistance. Another advantage of the GRAFAL coated pistons is they enable a closer fitting clearance that gives significantly lower engine noise in conjunction with complex piston forms.
Mahle Motorsport Rod & Main Bearings
Mahle Motorsport manufactures the highest quality race bearings available proven time and time again by race engine builders including F1 race teams. With many special features, these bearings have great wear characteristics and added durability for long engine life. Mahle uses a proprietary tri-metal blend to provide a stiffer bearing under high load use, which is necessary for race engines. Each bearing is designed with state-of-the-art software for the ideal oil film thickness, which adds reliability and greatly reduces the chance of spinning a bearing.
Each block is finish painted with durable black enamel and packaged inside a specialty engine bag with a desiccant pouch to remove any moisture that may accumulate during the shipping process. They are then securely bolted into specially manufactured shipping crates ensuring there is no damage.
Good condition core 2.0T EA888 Gen 1 or Gen 2 TSI blocks and crank shafts are required for the option to provide a core. If you choose the option to send in a core TSI block and crank shaft, please provide a good contact phone number or email so we can contact you with the core exchange instructions. Once we receive the confirmed good core block and crank shaft, we will ship out the assembled short block. All blocks and crank shafts will be thoroughly inspected, and not accepted unless confirmed usable. mailto:" target="_blank">Contact us
