so does anyone kno what the torque specs are for ARP studs on a VQ30? please specify with or without moly. i also got connecting rods with ARP fastners on them. Does anyone kno the spec for that?? putting my car back together...heeh. thanks!

 

they have arp fastners for the VQ30 rods?

 

You sure the connecting rod fasteners are not for VQ35 rods? Do they have a nut for each bolt?

 

Not sure about specs on VQ but the torque specs for the ARP head studs will be different than factory specs. The Evo guys do 85 ft.-lbs. with oil and 65 ft.-lbs. with moly (some even do 85 ft.-lbs. with moly to prevent head gasket leaks). I'll be using 85 with moly when I do mine within a couple days.

The instructions will tell you how much to torque.

 

That's 85 on the nut... not the actual stud. The stud should be hand tight (no torque spec).

 

uhmmm....their not stock rods.

for the head stud kit. SGP says to follow the factory method of torquing down the heads, but i rmemeber ARP gave me some number with and without moly and it was different from the FSM...i am lost again.

 

cool....that number sounds about right...hahah

if the Evo studs are the same size then the torque spec is the same too, cause i remmeber calling up ARP and i needed to measure the stud diameter for the correct torque..didnt matter on what application it was being used on.

 

190,000 psi... 7/16-inch diameter. Same for the VQ?

 

i dunno i need to check, but then if i did check, then i could call ARP for the specs too......heeh

 

j00 = lazy hehe

Call them.

 

Use the ARP Lube.

 

Matt

you kno these torque specs? i think your holding out on me!! haha. so how much does this ARP lube cost? thanks

 

I paid like $7 at a local speed shop for a tube. Honestly I dont recall. Search the My350z.com you might find them their. Or try SGP in Houston, ask for Kyle.

 

You should have gotten a packet of ARP lube with the head studs.

 

i got those long time ago when i got the kit, im reusing it again...i dont rmemeber what i used.

 

Ohhh... gotcha.

 

Whats the max horse power on your maxima

 

ok so i got some a ss lube and lubed those boys up good today. torqued down the heads, but now i cant figure out the torque spec for the connecting rod caps. FSM says 15ft lb and turn 90 degrees, but that was for the factory torque to yield bolts...ugh i dont even rmemeber the brand of rods i got...

 

uhhhhh matthel are you sure you know what you are doing?????

 

Motor go BOOM! hehe

 

Uh oh mad scientists at work on this thread. Watch out cause a monster can be born from all this smoke and dust

 

Kyle does not work there any more. You should ask for Shawnn or Mark they know there stuff.
