Ford uses a stronger conrod in the Typhoon, why can I put a set of those rods in my engine?
Ford identified the XR6-T needed a stronger rod very early on with the BA, but due to cost constraints they could not afford to fit a set of rods like ours to every vehicle, so they chose to fit the LPG conrod. It is marginally stronger than the stock XR6-T conrod, but they still fail. Conrods are even failing in standard vehicles, which are usually due to detonation and often occurs due to an overboost situation or the use of low octane/poor quality fuel. Excessive cylinder pressures of detonation/pinging fatigues the conrod, which results in it bending or breaking, or both.
