Balancer Bolt - 446-466nm (ouch!)

Flywheel Bolt - 124-152nm

good luck getting 450nm on the RB26 bolt without a tension wrench designed to do wheel studs up on a Euclid 170T dump truck.

I do them 150nm then get a pipe over it for another 1/4 of a turn....never had one come loose.

Hey mate,

Its 30mm for a RB26..

Cheers,

Thanks Johno.

You're pretty safe if u torque up the bolt to the above specs, loctite won't hurt, more of an assurance, but sucks to be the next person to rip the bolt out...haha.

(in saying that, some people are quite religious about using loctite)

just looking over this ... the balance bolt should be replaced with every clutch . i've looked at the threads on 25's and 26's and came to the conclusion it was a stretch bolt because it thins out close to head of the bolt. its just good practice . get it the right way first .

Anyone know the thread size for RB Flywheel bolts? Bought my RB20 for $20 and it has been sitting outside for the last 5 years so has some rust/filth in the threads in the crank. Looking go buy a tap to clean them up. Cheers.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
