rods Difference Between All Rods from BA to FG and beyond - XR6
Etax posted a topic in Engine Workshop
Hello fellas and gals. Ok simple topic, I am new here and like many others I’m sure (and probably has been answered but can’t find a link anywhere through google). I am wondering on what rods are for each generation. Specifically what rod numbers are in each turbo and NA variants of the Barra from BA to FG. There are multiple comments saying X has this rod but cannot confirm what Y has had originally or simply to upgrade. in my case I’m only looking for say FG has the xx number rod in them. (I’ve heard multiple things from the FG NA has the original BA-BF turbo rods, or no they are lesser then them). I’m putting this together to help newcomers into understanding the engine and what it can handle etc (so not just rods). However since this is rods I’m only asking for support in getting to the bottom of each generations rod design. basically wanting the layout to be something similar to this —> BA N/A - 1Rxxxx rod - 2002-2005 BA T - xxx This will not only give me insight but will definitely help others know what they can, can’t and should do with their motor (in my case pro charge an G6 N/A w/T56). It also means this can be shared around as I believe this to be the greatest simple motor designed, just very hard to search for specific info on it. -
hey guys, was just wanting to ask if its risky to push more power out of my 06 bf mk1? im running 16psi on stock turbo w a flapper mod pushing 460 hp, around 217k kms on engine, but have wanting to upgrade the turbo to potentially a pulsar gtx and get an external waste gate. with the upgrades I was aiming for at least the 500 hp mark and maybe 17 or 18 psi to achieve that. is there a risk to any of this as I know mk1 have weaker internals e.g rods. if anyone can give some insight I would appreciate it. cheers :)
