Before i do the install i want to know if you use the factory torque spec to torque a aluminum flywheel. I have a 96 RS. Thanks

 

im pretty sure but dont take my word on that...
lol i dont think i was much help

 

lol its cool. I just got a great deal on a 7.5lbs fidanza flywheel and a stock exedy clutch for $250. So anyone else that can help me. really appreciate it. Also if it is factory torque do i put lock tite?

 

Does the manufacture of the flywheel recommend any torque settings? I would call and ask them to be 100% sure.

 

Yes. And just to make sure the flywheel seats properly I took a torch to the mating surface of the flywheel to expand it. Once it cools it will be that much tighter around the crank.

 

Ok so it is factory torque spec huh. Anybody can second that before i begin? Its 72lbs of torque right?

 

What ever the manual says. And don't forget the torque sequence

 

i have that same combo on my R, the gripforce deal? anyway i went 90lbs with ARP bolts, DO use RED threadlock. this wheel chatters like mad till the clutch breaks in. 80lbs to 72lbs would probably be alright too provided you use red. also clean off the crank snout and consider changing the main seal if your car has over 120k and is on the OE seal

 

What are ARP bolts? can i just use my stock flywheel bolts?

 

yes, arp bolts are just stronger. i bought them because my factory bolts had a few mangled threads.
