Rb25det Rod Tourqe Setting In One Go Not Turn 60degrees


Recommended Posts

hello can somone tell me what the tourqe setting is for conrods-- fsm is 15nm then 60 degrees, thats a crap way of doing it, fair enuff on head bolts but. bit risky on rods. some say 40ftp on mains and same on rods,, 40ft pound? is alot for rods. anyone?

its holding me up in my rebuild. thanks guys

Factory rod bolts and main bolts 50nm for both.

FSM says torque in kg/cm2 or something....nothing about 60 degrees.

If you have aftermarket rod bolts/rods or main studs then these settings will be different

cool thanks. seems to be alot for the rod bolts tho? this is what i have in fsm---14-16NOm (1.4-1.6kg-m) mark with white marker and turn 60-65 degrees. ??? told have to turn in degrees as bolts tend to strech a bit.. i was going to tighten to say 20ft pd,, but u think 50 ftpnd. can i ask how u got tht,different manuals?

when you have the torque wrench in your hand and and you click 50nm onto that rod bolt, tell me then that you think it feels like too much. I reckon it feels like not enough. But it's not a matter of how many nm or ft/lb required, it all comes down to bolt stretch. If you have a stretch gauge, torque them down til you see 0.006 stretch and that will be spot on.

sounds bloody good to me, ill go and finish her off. . all my other motors,long as theres bit of movent all good, ill let no how they feel .

Also I have run this on two RB25 engines that still used factory rods and bolts and they are both over 80,000k old without issues

yes i have built diesels to 202's to sr20's.few other types,plus bikes 38models to 2000.

when i said movement i ment, once tight, you should be able to still move rod foward and back a bit. all good sumps on.

What do you mean by movement, torquing the rod bolt shouldnt effect bearing clearance.

    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:   
    • Hi Chris,   long time since your post, just wondering if you have the Pinout for the v35 stereo plugs, I bought the roem nis2 harness but it doesn’t match the v35 connector. any help appreciated, I can work out the grn and power constant. But the rest might be hard. thanks Tyson
