The 06/06 Typhoon Bottom

[sleek7]

Hi Guys,

Long time reader, firstish time posting.

Firstly wanted to start off by saying thx to all the members on this site, has filled in much of my research of the car

But one thing I cant seem to find a definitive answer to exactly what is included in the typhoon bottom end from BFs > 06/06.

Whats exactly is the difference between say an XR6T BF made in April compared to one made in July? As im looking to buy atleast a BF or higher I really need to know what is different.

Been saving for a while now and its time to start getting serious about buying one

Many thanks in advance, looking forward to your replies.

Cheers,

Joel

Thanks Millzy, I found that before I posted here but it mentions only changed valve springs and conrods. Is this all that changes or is there more?

[millzy555]

From my limited knowledge I think that's it, could be wrong, will wait for someone to confirm this though

Rods and valve springs. that's it.

[sasgamo]

conrods too, in bas they were getting bent or similar.

also all bfs had better valve springs from 2005 but on or after 06/06 the used better pistons and conrods as well. I heard they were used for dedicated gas engines to allow for the more power (explosion rather) internal combustion gas engines made hense the need for stronger internals.

[Venom XR6]

Rods = conrods.

Pistons were the same all the way through BA and BF for all turbo engines.

E Gas conrods are the same as the XRT/F6 ones. E Gas engines used the stronger rods because during early testing they would bend the standard rods if the engine backfired.

so BF 06 F6 motors had better rods than BA F6's??

any other diffs between BA and all BF F6 motors??

[Venom XR6]

All F6's had the LPG rods, BA or BF.

There were a few things different between BA and BF like cams, dual knock sensors, different heater pipes etc.
