ARP Main stud part numbers

[JNM240]

I just recieved my ARP main stud kit today and figured i would post up the part numbers so its not as difficult for others to order them. Please keep in mind this is for the CA18DET that has the crank girdle (the US CA18DE that came in the Pulsar NX SE does NOT have the crank girdle).

You will need:

(1) 10 pack of 300-8364 10mm 1.25 12mm socket .700 flange 12pt nuts... $43.51(1) 10 pack of 200-8592 10mm ID .850" OD Chamfer Washers... $12.19(10) AM4.125-1LB studs ... $5.59 each ($55.90/set of 10)

For reference, the studs are M10x1.50, require 3/4" thread engagement into the block, and need at least 2 5/8" over the block (that is girdle and bearing cap thickness).

Enjoy!Jason

EDIT: I just found my packing invoice, so the part numbers are 100% correct.

good deal have to keep that im mind

question in the beginning u said 10mm * 1.25 nutsthen u said studs are M10*1.5

which is correct? 1.25 OR 1.5thanks,

[JNM240]

Both are correct. The BLOCK is a M10x1.50 thread, where the stud will thread into. The other end of the thread is the M10x1.25, where the NUT will thread onto. Hence the 2 different thread pitches.

BTW, i have installed these and they are absolutely perfect! Zero clearance issues with the oil pan. The ARP rep told me to just use their assembly lube, thread the stud into the block until finger tight (assemble the bearing caps and crank girdle), then torque all the nuts down to 60 ft-lbs, NO MORE. Then loosen them all a few turns, and repeat. He said to torque then loosen a few times, as it polishes the threads and gives a better bite. But he definately made sure to stress NOT to exceed 60 ft-lbs of torque, and be sure to use the proper tightening sequence, per the FSM.

just a NOTE for everyone. DO NOT ORDER THE CA18DET MSK from Hybrid Performance in Orlando FL. IT DOES NOT FIT!

I was under the impression that only the rod bolts/studs needed to be adressed if anything, whats your reason for going with uprated girdle studs/bolts?

Because when i was reassembling my motor, i sheared one right in half torquing it down. They are stretch bolts, same as the head bolts. And i couldnt get OE ones from Nissan, since the USDM Pulsar didnt have a crank girdle, those bolts are about 1/2" too short.

[MeanGreenS13]

i went with them because when people see the power i WILL put out... they will soon understand. this car will be an US Record Holder for S13 with CA =) promise

[bentvalves]

haha hells yea thats what I like to hear.

do you plan to do any comubstion chamber reshaping by the way?

Greg

[MeanGreenS13]

no but i did have the head shaved to bump compression. The "record" that i keep hearing of was set with nearly stock block and head... im pushing it lol

Im having no luck sourcing these studs... nuts and washers are fine, but apparently the part number for the studs have no refernce.

you wouldnt happen to have a contact who you sourced these through at arp? or know what engine the studs acutally come from??

possible to get a scan of that packing invoice? as evidence

that took me less than 30 seconds dude... order all your parts from them... best thing you will ever do... youll save money on shipping etc

[meminto]

With the part number of the stud on summit racing, the description says the top and bottom threads are both 10x1.5 is that right, or is it a mistake in the description? I am about to order these and don't want to order the wrong parts

Cheers guys

[MeanGreenS13]

that is the part i ordered exactly. Fit perfectly!

[meminto]

Thanks mate, yep got clarification last night from niscort, it is definately an error in the description on the summit website.

Cheers

[niscort]

bumping an old thread...

recommended torque for these studs was?

[JNM240]

The ARP rep told me to just use their assembly lube, thread the stud into the block until finger tight (assemble the bearing caps and crank girdle), then torque all the nuts down to 60 ft-lbs, NO MORE. Then loosen them all a few turns, and repeat. He said to torque then loosen a few times, as it polishes the threads and gives a better bite.

I have been in contact with ARP and asked them if they have a complete kit including all the parts as described earlier in this thread.

I have installed them and confirm that the kit 165-5402 is a 100% fit.

The link above take you to my english project thread where you will find pictures showing the main studs installed and tightened to 60ft lbs (81,4Nm).
