BAR-TEK ULTI forged engine kit, VAG 2.0L EA888 Gen3 MQB

Strong and affordable bundle of forged internals for EA888.3 MQB engines. If you’re aiming for a high power application (+500hp and beyond, this ULTIMATE Kit includes everything you need to keep your engine happy up to 1000 HP if needed.

This kit offers a balanced combination of forged pistons, connecting rods, connecting rod screws, connecting rod bearings, head gasket and stud bolt – all of this for very affordable package pricing when bought together.

What’s included?
BAR-TEK® H-Shaft steel connecting rods are titanium riveted, which is why they shine gold. Together with these rods, your trusted pistons are made from Italian RP Pistons and equipped with strong Heavy Duty piston pins for high boost. The rest of it are parts we all know: obviously ARP connecting rod bolts and head studs, connecting rod bearings from ACL, and MLS head gasket from Cometic.

Check your engines tolerances, make sure to start with properly machined gasket surfaces and clearances, and you are good to go chasing those heavy numbers.

• Forged IRP Pistons with extra coating and strong piston pins
• Titanium-nitrided steel connecting rods from BarTek, able to handle high pressure loads, milled from solid. (Rifle drilling included)
• ARP fasteners (rods, head studs)
• Cometic MLS Head gasket
• ACL Race bearings to withstand maximal load at the bearing department
