Hey guys, im putting my head back together soon, and replaced the head studs for arp ones....what torque settings should i use (same as manual says)??? or should i torque them slightly higher for the arp studs?...thanks - its for an rb26

The studs come with instructions, i think its 85ft/lbs using the arp lubricant, or 110ft/lbs using 30wt oil

SO IS 85ft/lbs right using arp lube??

mine were 95ft/lbs using arp lubricant, just did them last week on a 32GTR

OR is this guy right? 95ft/lbs using arp lubricant?

I will be doing this soon too....

Also anyone have a ARP part number for main studs for a RB26DETT motor? ARP doesn't make one but I heard you can use different studs? not sure or get some that are larger and cut them down?

any help would be much appreciated

Sorry to jack your thread.

hi guys. i torqued mine down in 4 stages.. 40/60/80/then finally 100lbs with arp lube. thats it no slacken re-torque.. car has done 600 miles now and run 2.2bar of boost . rb26/30..bernie.

Thanks for all the info, lot of variances in the torque settings for each car....seems 80-100 is ok with lube?....when you say 4 stages....does that mean you torque at first stage for all, the increase the torque again for all, then so on and so on, until the end adjust?

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
