Atomic Performance Products - XR6T High Performance Conrods

Atomic billet steel conrods were designed from scratch with one principle in mind; use aerospace quality materials and sophisticated manufacturing processes to produce an extremely strong, light and durable connecting rod for the popular inline 6 cylinder Ford SOHC/DOHC engines, at an affordable price.

The Design and Evaluation Process
The Atomic engineering team set out to address these parameters by designing what many performance engine builders are now calling the finest conrod on the market for the Ford DOHC 6 cylinder engine.

Extensive CAD/CAM computer modelling was employed and produced a H-Beam design, which has an extremely high stiffness-to-mass ratio. The next step was to pick the correct materials, heat treatment and surface treatment processes to ensure durability under rigorous performance applications.

Next came FEA modelling (Finite element analysis) to simulate stresses on the conrods. This also entailed weighing every piston, gudgeon pin and ring set on the market and loading this information, plus stroke, rotating and reciprocating conrod values into our computer modelling software to calculate the stresses.

The greatest load exerted on a conrod in an engine producing 600 comes not from the force of normal combustion but from the tensile force exerted by the piston at top dead centre (TDC). At 5250 RPM the piston exerts a tensile load on the conrod of 1908 gs (-1693 kgs) at split overlap TDC reversal. If you increase maximum engine speed by only 1000 RPM to 6250 RPM, the TDC tensile load rises by 50.4% to 2870 gs. At 7500 RPM the tensile loading increases to 4132 gs, clearly demonstrating the Atomics design strength of 8000 gs means it has plenty in reserve.

Excessive loads at TDC are brought about by a high reciprocating mass and/or by increasing engine RPM, so it is essential to design reciprocating engine components with the lowest mass possible to minimize premature lower bearing shell bearing failure. This is particularly relevant to our customers who are turning their engines to 7500RPM+.

[kyliejoel]

will this fit ed xr6 non turbo

[AtomicXR6T]

@kyliejoel

Hi, Yes they will. We designed them to fit ALL SOHC and DOHC Ford 6 engines.

[naptic]

So could you make rods to suit my spec, i only need 4 ;)

[AtomicXR6T]

Hi,

sorry we are only tooled up to make conrods in min quantities for 200 off custom/ individual spec......contact Carillo Industries in the USA they can help you.

Cheers, Brad

WE have not needed FUELS since 1969 . LINEAR MOTORS & VOICE COILS placed in between the heads and pistons convert fuel to electric . just dial in all the power you want possible no loss of power due the compression . power by free energy or a small generator .SEE H2W Technology

@TheRoguelement

Huh? What all started where?

[TheRoguelement]

Ahhhhh Maybe so Mate ...But don't we here in the States have oh so much more they haven't even heard of yet ! After all it all started where ?

[TheRoguelement]

Are these rods in the 2 inch GM journal size ? And do you make GM small block rods or just for the Blue oval engines ?

[ROCKSOLID19]

Can these conrods work on any brand?

[blheck]

this guy really knows his stuff

[390merc65]

you guys over there have alot of good stuff we dont have in the states ..bummer..like the cross flow 6cyl head with removable intake and exhuast manifold for the 200/250 I6...302 CLEVELANDS ...NEAT STUFF
