The real challenge is crafting a robust beam while maintaining a lightweight design. Our unique I-Beam shape is the result of an extensive process to identify the high-stress areas placed on the rod in a high-performance 3.0T engine. The resulting design evenly distributes these high-compressive loads across the strongest parts of the beam. This painstakingly iterative practice puts the material strength where it's needed, and trims the fat where it's not. Enjoy the confidence in an incredibly strong rod that won't slow down your rotating assembly with unnecessary weight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-6 shg-c-md-6 shg-c-sm-6 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f-root\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-image-margin-container-s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f\" id=\"wrap-s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f shg-align-container\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f shogun-image-container shg-align-center\" id=\"s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-image-content-wrapper\"\u003e \u003cimg srcset=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/180x\/ 180w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/360x\/ 360w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/720x\/ 720w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/900x\/ 900w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1080x\/ 1080w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1200x\/ 1200w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1920x\/ 1920w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/2048x\/ 2048w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/b4415193-3d6f-47b6-8dbc-2544dc293d38\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" class=\"shogun-image \" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript class=\"__SHG_DATA__\" type=\"application\/json\"\u003e\n    {\n      \"__shgImageV2Elements\": { \"uuid\": \"s-59df4545-0212-4075-97cd-d93973657d3f\" }\n    }\n  \u003c\/script\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c \" id=\"s-7de3155e-db65-449d-9ba7-d95945ea7a54\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-row\" data-col-grid-mode-on=\"\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-6 shg-c-md-6 shg-c-sm-6 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-32799070-6bfd-4755-a735-115343850677\" class=\"shg-c shg-align-center\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\"\u003e \u003ch1\u003e PRECISION MANUFACTURING \u003c\/h1\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-455cb794-4f2a-47b1-a492-ebc37b4c6a3b\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(206, 212, 217); font-size: 16px;\"\u003eStrength lies in the details.

Extensive testing revealed that the factory piston compression ratio in the EA839 engine is susceptible to excessive knock in very large turbo\/high-boost builds. In response, JE has developed a performance 3.0T piston forging with our optimized 10:1 compression ratio. These pistons boast additional features for high-performance builds, including Tuff Skirt coating, robust ring supports, sturdy 983M material forgings, and large 22mm wrist pins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 75, 35);\"\u003eIMPORTANT NOTE: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 75, 35);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eiE Tuscan Rods require aftermarket pistons with 22mm wrist pins.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 75, 35);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-6 shg-c-md-6 shg-c-sm-6 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231-root\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-image-margin-container-s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231\" id=\"wrap-s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231 shg-align-container\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231 shogun-image-container shg-align-center\" id=\"s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-image-content-wrapper\"\u003e \u003cimg srcset=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/180x\/ 180w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/360x\/ 360w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/720x\/ 720w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/900x\/ 900w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1080x\/ 1080w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1200x\/ 1200w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/1920x\/ 1920w,https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/-\/resize\/2048x\/ 2048w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bbe82f97-c337-4d20-8aed-7743cd148a93\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" class=\"shogun-image \" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript class=\"__SHG_DATA__\" type=\"application\/json\"\u003e\n    {\n      \"__shgImageV2Elements\": { \"uuid\": \"s-d23528a1-775d-4e42-9937-4bf744708231\" }\n    }\n  \u003c\/script\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c \" id=\"s-fe5a54e7-8abc-4550-9243-9d41ae6ac14e\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-row\" data-col-grid-mode-on=\"\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-5 shg-c-md-5 shg-c-sm-5 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-72be621f-4da6-45bc-aeb6-42bd8e5c0a3c\" class=\"shg-c shg-align-center\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\"\u003e \u003ch1\u003e TECHNICAL SPECS \u003c\/h1\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-d93bcc23-ae3f-422c-92c4-b2eb5783fe02\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px;
