    FSM torque Value

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    Thanks Tony, I always clean up every bolts, nuts and surfaces I torque and try to always use new hardware. I jut want to make sure I follow the RB26 FSM correctly to not overtighten for nothing. I do think that a good clean and new bolt or nut being torqued to FSM spec is safe for my applications.

    Rb25 motor locked?

    It could be the transmission but when you start the car you push the clutch in thus putting it in neutral state it shouldnt lock if you have the clutch all the way in or maybe the clutch is not working. I hope you didnt break a valve . Good luck

    Hi, everyone I feel kinda dumb for asking this but my mom always said their is no dumb questions so ill go ahead and ask. I am trying to understand what torque numbers do i use in my FSM I have a RB26DETT going in my Z and the FSM states ,for lets say a random bolt, the torque to use is 16-21 (1.6-2.1 , 12-15)N'm (kg-m, ft-Ib)and at the begining of the FSM they state "When X to Y N'm (kg-m, ft-Ib) is indicated, the standard tightening torque is the mean value". I dont understand what the crap that means ? I know i got to convert it in inch/pounds for my Torque wrench that i got it but what number do i use 16n*m or 21n*m or something in between ?

     

    Thanks

    I guess its going to be fine then thanks. Im not to sure about the Ebay coolers I keep reading they work and they dont leak but they dont cool as much as "brands" I/C. Id prefer to pay 100$ more to have a quality cooler then getting a ebay one that does the job halfway. People told me I have to pick two Fast, Good and Cheap so im picking Fast and good.

    I had been warned previously before starting to weld about the danger of the UV so I have proper gloves, pants and a fire proof lab coat from work and a big 20lbs fire extingisher next to me. Thanks again for the tips . B)

    they still dont look flat tho i dont why or how yet but ill practice again. I changed my seating position on the second set of welds i did i was sitting lower this time way easier on my back then leaning over the table, only thing i noticed is that i have more troube seeing the puddle i habe to lean on one side to see the puddle or the tip of the gun is hidding it.

     

    Comments are very very welcome please !

    Thank you very much guys. From what im reading ad seeing on youtube im not letting the gun/heat long enough, on the back side of my plates the metal is just getting blue or orange after it cools down (if that makes sense) so im not seeing the weld getting through or bearly i was scared to burn through i think. Im welding on 1/32 steel to practice my hand on the steel ill be working on the Zed. Ill try my hand at it this week end and ill post more picture. Things im gonna try is leave the torch on for more heat push the puddle by angeling the gun at 45 deg and do my best.
