Post Titanium Con-Rods

Are the stock con-rods on a 993tt made of Titanium? If not any ideas on the material?

Thanks in advance.

Hi:

The stock TT rods are forged steel.

Only the older Porsche race cars like 906, 910, 935, 956, 962C, and the current 996 GT-3 and GT-3 RS have titanium rods.

Ruf also uses titanium rods in some of their engine upgrades.

Titanium rods are rather life-limited unless made with a special coating.
