Even the First BF's XR6Turbos didnt get the F6 rods. The only time the BF Turbo recieved the F6 rod was when the Turbo Territory became available in 06←So does this mean our Territory turbo has the better rods and springs, can anyone confirm?

Obviously, you can do alot more while the motor is apart but just want the rods done so I can go to 375rwkw without sweating at redline (currently at 325)........maybe the oil pump also as Ive heard theyre a weak link.Fat-tony?

Anyone?←You can't go to 375 rwkw safely with F6 rods, nor will your pistons last long at those power levels If you go beyond 350 rwkw's you need a properly built bottom end, with forged pistons and billet rods, and if you like revving high, a stronger oil pump Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33593-standard-ba2-rods-are-they-same-as-f6/page/2/#findComment-514113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think that the F6 rods and standard pistons should be ok for 375rwkw then again I dont have a mechanic's licence - just based on what Ive heard around here.

Better to be safe than sorry.
