TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 10m 3d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 09/09/14 11:33 AM Share Posted 09/09/14 11:33 AM As title says. My belief is BA xr6 turbo rods were sh*t BA MKii got the LPG rods BF >06/06 got the f6 rods. Someone is telling me that all xr6 <06/06 have the EXACT same rods including NA. LPG and >06/06 xr6 for the f6 rods Someone want to clear this up for me please If that's the case I can buy a LPG motor cheap, use the bottom end and have 400KW instead of limited to 300 on my MKii?

LPG are the same thickness as f6 but no floating gudgeon pins. They're pressed apparently. I always though BAmkii had LPG rods and f6 got thicker again.

LPG have a much higher compression ratio as has already been confirmed by mick.

I searched for half an hour to find my answer to no avail.
