Well… you could opt for the 105.4mm Capricorn sleeves and 82mm stroke that will give you 4292.8cc. 105.4x84 would be 4397.5cc. I wish I had a GT3 motor to try and do that with

You would be better to use steel rods, if you over boost and or get a missfire you could bend Ti rods, not an issue on NA cars due to the lower pressures involved.
I have run Ti rods on high HP race engines with success but its risky and obviously RUF are happy with the gamble because of a great tune/tunner!

If you are SURE of your tuner knows what he (or she) is doing and all safety nets and controls are in place plus a big, bright in your face over boost light. Spark Plugs are of the correct range for the new service and replaced every 6000 miles and fresh high octane fuel and a tip top fuel system including uprated (twin pumps-lift and pressure) and uprated boost hoses and intercoolers you should be good to go...

I will have to agree with Jay.
I don't think you need the Ti in a turbo application. You could but …
7000euro is quite a bit. We can get Ti rods fro around 7K US$ but that is 4K more than steel ones. I think 4K spent somewhere else would be a better idea; on your cylinder heads with some cams will probably yield the most gains!!
By the way, I think you should go bigger… Like 4.0, 4.1

Hi Adam
I could easily be persuaded to go for Ti rods but I would like some assurance that there will be no issues with clearance for the 104.1 x 82 set up.
Would you please be able to check into this for me and if no issue I will go this way
regards
Mike
