That is not true.
What is true though is that the 6A12TT engine uses the same rods as the 6A12 MIVEC

Re: is it true?
Yeah the 6A13 rods are marginally bigger in cross section & slightly longer to acheive the larger capacity. Part no MD312614 vs the FTO ones MD147819.

Re: is it true?
I kept the twins, just replaced them with new ones & wound the boost up. Didn't need to do much to the motor, just some good plugs, Bosche coil packs, some bigger injectors & a minor fuel rail mod, some stiffer waste gates, some vernier cam gears on the exhaust cams, the Haltech & some nice piping. Most of it was done in the tune. I run the poor little tubs as hard as they can go at around 18 pound, so I have a pretty regular turnover of them, but they're cheap as chips
When I next get enthusiastic, Im gonna upgrade the waste gates again to externals. Ones I got now are only just coping...

Re: is it true?
Bennoz do you know the rod length for the 12 and 13?
And, what is the cut off rpm for the 6A13TT?

Re: is it true?
Who cares about RPM cutoff when your have 2 turbo's you shift when they stop spooling, which is probably around 6k for benspetz wrote:Bennoz do you know the rod length for the 12 and 13?

Re: is it true?
Not off the top of my head, no. I could get a couple of sets if you wanted thou.
It always the way, I just binned an old 6A12 motor from my garage because I needed the space. Had all 6 rods in it lol.
As for 6A13, I'll ask the guys on ozvr4. Some of them who've gone with forgies will have a set lying about.

Re: is it true?
I could get some numbers from my old set if you want?
Just let me know from Where you need the start and finish points to be.

Re: is it true?
I think they are generally measure from center to center?
I was just hoping to get the rod length to then calculate the rod/stroke ratio for each motor

Re: is it true?
Thats not gonna get you a definitive answer. The Cranks are different. Best way to find that out it to get an assembled block rotate to TDC & set a gauge at zero, then rotate 180 to BDC and measure. The crank jouranls could be offest, which will change your stoke reading vs rod length.

Re: is it true?
I thought that it was just a ratio between the stroke and the rod length?
