Reuse Main Studs Or Replace With Arp Bits

[carl h]

well its getting close to time to box all the new bits ive gotten for my rb20 up and take it down to the machine shop to be fitted but ive a question about the main studs.

over here in the us its hard to come by internal rb parts so i was wondering if i could reuse my stock main bolts or should i replace them with new stock components or upgrade to arp stuff.

if its reccomended to use arp what studs do i need for it to work, as no one seems to know over here.

Rocket have the studs,same as Rb25-26 but not 30.

What power you after? milder engines dont need them but rod bolts should be changed.

nib, im really going for reliable modest power.

~300hp daily (gt30r, so its hard to be efficent under 14psi which is my gate boost), but ive already got arp rod bolts and head studs for the motor as i dont have much faith in the stock rod bolts and i always replace head bolts when i rip a head off.

since i want to be able to crank the boost occasionaly and romp round with 400hp every now and again (as i did before the motor blew) should i upgrade the mains to arp equipment?

after all i plan to keep a stockish revlimit (8k this time round) and like i said just going for mild reliable power.

Not to dear so go for it.
