arp rod bolts
i just ordered some of these for my mini-me rebuild ;D
should i overtorque them? and how high can i safely rev? i was making pretty good power up to 7500 kicking in vtec a little late, would i be safe to go on and take it to 8 or so if i can find a cam that'll make power there? |
Re: arp rod bolts
IMO I would just torque them to spec.
As far as revving high I would think it depends more on your valvetrain than anything else. |

if u have a stock cam you were losing power kicking late and reving high btw arp rod bolt torque specs are behind the box |

Re: arp rod bolts
stock honda retainers are decent at high rpms your valve springs are your issue

Re: arp rod bolts
A Y8 with a stock cam probably makes peak power at 6500 and torque falls hard at 7000, so reving to 8 grand is really pointless.

Re: arp rod bolts
Z6 VTEC kicks in at 4800 WOT, would read 5100 rpm on a stock tach.........
Currently I'm running the biggest NON Vtec Crane cam to 8000 rpms on stock springs that have 150,000 miles. Crane designed the ramp rates to be somewhat sane and not require stiff springs, which then to hammer the seats. |
