Posted 23/07/04 04:38 AM Author Share Posted 23/07/04 04:38 AM Does anyone know how many XR6T's have actually bent rods and at what power levels? I dont mean like Deans where the rod failed due to a manufacturing fault. I Mean where the rod has failed due to the extra power.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/07/04 03:55 AM Author Share Posted 25/07/04 03:55 AM Are there figures available for the actual figures on various intercoolers. How much they cool the air and how much preasure drop they have? Any other stats that could be useful to lnow.On the subject of rods. Has anyone on the forum actually bent a rod through extra power?Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything near or above 300rwkw looks like doing damage to the internals of the engine and would require mandatory replacement of rods and pistons.

They actually started it the day I had my Xede installed. Simon is very helpful and is keen to answer any questions you ask. That is why I trusted him to do the work on my car and produced a good result with my car 237 rwkw with the only other mod being the exhaust. As far as intercoolers go I now that MRT Performance are developing a Intercooler kit including piping in conjunction with Hyperflow. Release date should be end of August. Kit price is expected to be ($1800 - $2000) but this is yet to be confirmed. I don't no how this price compares to the APS & Nizpro but it seams reasonably priced to me.I'll try to find out more info if anyone is interested. I now Ben Taylor from MRT will be only to happy to help.macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
