Torque specs for lightweight flywheel counterweight attachment
 

Does anybody know what the torque specs are when attaching a lightweight flywheel to the counterweight? I can't seem to find any info on it and no instructions about it provided with either the flywheel or the counterweight.

Huh? U just put the counterweight on then FW

I guess u are talking about the 53mm nut? 350 lbs

Nah man. You need to attach the counterweight to the flywheel. See the image. Flywheel doesn't attach to anything except the counterweight.

oh those bolts. It's been a long while since I put the LW FW on my 8 (like what 3 yrs ago?) and I forgot those bolts exist.

its not important. put some Locitie Blue on it , torque them till you feel its tight and it will never come off (I forgot the exact spec, was it like 17-28 lbs? I forgot), if you're afraid, put Locitie RED on it and its pretty much stuck to that FW for life.

just remember the big nut to around 350 lbs with the Blue stuff. (dont use Red stuff on the big nut, it might get stuck for life on the E-shaft)

Thanks dood.

Was doing some research. Honestly I don't know why it's so hard to find. Maybe it's just me.

For 89 - 91 RX-7 it's 32 - 45 ft. lbs according to http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=93911

But this is for RX-7. Seems high, but then again it's the power plant. Really need to know what it is for RX-8. Maybe it's specific to FW/CW manufacturer, but they don't seem to be giving it out willingly. What's up with that? Does it really have to be so freaking top-secret? Come on!

again, those bolts are not important.

just put some blue stuff on the threads, install it, and forget it.
