could someone please give me the torque setting of 1. the craddle which holds the crank in, i did mine at 40 lb/in is this ok

2. the head, i read some where around 100 lb/in

3. the bolts which hold the con rods to the crank, i read in the 26 workshop manual 14 lb/in and then 60 to 65 degrees with an angle wrench, and i dont have an angle wrench.

4. and anything else that is important

thank you.

i wouldnt be using rb26 torque settings on rb30 bolts, they are different sizes from memory. I have a vl commodore workshop manual in the shed ill grab it tommorow and post the specs up for the rb30 specific stuff unless someone else beats me to it.

If your using rb26 headbolts then use the 26 torque specs for them, but main bolts and rod bolts i would definately use the rb30 specs.

who is the cock sucker who edits the posts on this thread? i looked up on monday and there was about 5 replies, now there is only 2, some guy had written up a massive informative post which is now not there, what the fu*k is going on? for the people whos posts that have not been deleted, i thank you for your input. i would like to know the torque settings of the conrod bolts by the weekend if anyone has them, cheers

Dumb shit, the forum went down a few days ago. There have been posts about it.

TORQUE SETTINGS - for factory bolts, nuts, studs ect. Other manufactures such as ARP have their own torque settings that are listed on the box.

Cylinder head bolts - 10mm 'allen key' type bolt

1st stage - 29nm

2nd stage - 78 nm

3rd stage - loosen completely

4th stage - 29 nm

5th stage - 88 nm

Corner cylinder head bolts - 10mm hex nut

8 nm

Main bearing cradle bolts - 16mm IIRC

54 nm

Connecting rod bearing cap nut - 10mm iirc

1st stage - 16 nm

2nd stage - 44 nm

thank you mr 200 for the torque settings of the rb30 bottom end, you are a champion. i am not a dumb shit though, i dont spend alot of time on sa and didnt realise it had crashed. it is an excellent site for getting information. thank you thank you yes sir, thank you.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
