Connecting ROD Torque

NismoSS · Apr 5th, 2004, 10:05 AM

Hello

the repair manual indicated than connecting rod torque is max 21ft-lb..

i'm experience to assembly B11 or E16 and this engine connecting rod torque is 30ft-lb ..

i'm fear to damage engine because, may Ga16de is used for Racing propouse , and i go at 7900RPM ,, i dont want to damage engine for bat torque process ..

please, i want a torque for connceting rod for Ga16DE..

huh? so what is it you're look for exactly? confirmation that the connecting rod bolts are 21ftlbs?

well you are already killing your motor running to 7900rpm.. even with the jwt ecu you should only run it to 7300rpm.... but if the book says 21 ft lbs, you do 21 ft lbs..

well the FSM says 35 to 40 degrees on an angle wrench or 17-21ftlbs.

7900RPM is not problem for me, i have a reforced springs valve and was retired ECU, this Ga16DE is a Webber Carburated ..

in others times , i was run in to 8500 but don't was a good experience. .

well ,7900 is a good RPM cut for advancing shifter quickly ...

but i have fear ,, i cant believe than the torque in Ga16DE is 21ft-lb when in others engines ,, for example E16 (most the same) is 30ft-lb. . others people was sayme then exist a software called ALL DATA , and the torque for connecting rod is 33ft-lb ,, but this is not sure .. .
