The price was right so I snagged it but...

Anyone have access to the torque specs for these T30 water manifold screws? Looking at T30 screws the max torque is 31.1 - 37.4 Nm (23 to 25 ft/lbs) which feels way too much.

GoMango would be the man or SDG 👍

If you don't find a factory torque spec, look for a spec for the thread size in ALUMINUM, don't even worry about the screw, it's not the limiting factor...

What size are those? M6?

M6

Guy on the other forum posted the factory manual spec at 7 ft/lbs. SDG had 10 ft/lbs when installing their billet manifolds. I went with 10.

5.7lb-ft is what I came up with, but I didn't have all of the variables

Bad ass! Please take a break and get that flag art off the floor and hung on the wall

Bringing this back to life. Planning on re-assembly tomorrow. @16GoManGoHC2 you suggested I use SS button head bolts instead of the plastic push pins on the FI spacers? Do you remember size and thread pitch? I think that's the only thing I don't have sourced.

Mike confirmed these are M8x20mm figured I'd mention it for anyone following a long. I couldn't find them at the big box hw stores so I had to go to Ace. $1.60 each (!) and I needed 4.

Too bad you couldn't get their snout

I doubt I'd have gotten it if I could have. There's a limit on this motor and I'm gonna be pushing it as is I "think".

You just pulley up, less restriction. 2.85/10% about the limit but some tuners are saying 2.75/10%

I'll be good where I'm at for what I wanna do. 9.30 to 9.50 at close to 150mph in a car I can drive to the grocery store is good enough for me. I've got some people in the "know" and they told me point blank a 2.85 is the limit on a 2.7L if you want it to last. They would know if you know what I mean.

On the motor I've heard 850rwhp. More than that and you're on borrowed time. I think E85 stretches that a bit due to the cooling so I'm not wanting more than 900 - 925 wheel to keep it on the safe side of things. I don't need another "event"

Pshhhhhh!!! We have the same engine I show no mercy

I'm planning to stay 10% behind where you are

Sounds like it’ll be 75 percent cheaper 😂

SDG blower speed chart for a 2.7 you are fine at 6500 2.85/10%

 

[Speedy!]

That's what the chart says.
