Included Parts
Core Requirements
All cores will be critically inspected and verified by our specialists before being accepted as a good and usable core. All engines are assembled in-house and assembly times can vary depending on workload. If you have any questions about the ordering or core process, please contact our engine specialists at info@mlperfromance.co.uk.
*Core must include a complete short block assembly, including block, crank, main caps, balance shaft, etc.
Assembly Process
Once the OEM VW/Audi Gen 3 TSI block is cleaned and multi-point inspected, an Integrated Engineering torque plate is bolted to the block for an exact tolerance cylinder overbore 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 freshly machined surface for a proper head gasket seal and strong compression. The main caps 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 new OEM 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 checklist with all measured clearances, and an instruction & care pamphlet. To complete your engine build, match your high-performance short block with an Integrated Engineering industry-leading performance cylinder head.
Individual Parts Technical Information
IE 144 x 22 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 9.3:1 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 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.
Shipping Details
