Wheel Nut Torque And Silencer

[gtimon 0]

First,

 

I'm using two sets of wheels for my Trackdays, one set for wet and a set for dry.

 

I've fitted Studs as it's easier to change the wheels when needed. One set of wheels uses tapered wheel nuts and the other set uses the flat type of wheel nuts.

 

What are the Torques for these 2 types of nuts. ???

 

 

Second,

 

Currently I have a 4 branch manifold (4 into 1) and a Group N silencer, which to me sounds abit naff compared to some I've heard on the track.

 

Any tips to what would be better than the group N, but staying within the Regs for noise and not having a Big Scooby type tail pipe. Bearing in mind I've now fitted bike carbs, if that makes any difference.

 

Thanks

Tbh I can't think of anything better than a group N whilst staying in noise regulations. I think they've got a great sound to them, nice and sly whilst driving around town but sound absolutly stonking when you come on cam. All in my opinion obviously.

 

Is it straight through or have you got a middle box? Perhaps speak to DES developments, they'll probably give you a few ideas

Thanks,

 

Its a straight through with no middle box as its a Trackday car only, trailered to the track.

Personally if it passes noise at the moment, I'd leave it alone.

 

It is no fun at all making the effort to get to a track only to not be able to run as you can't pass noise. I've done this myself and its totally crap.

Wheelnut torque for a STD pug is 85 Nm, good idea to re-check them after each session too.

Thanks,

 

But is this for alloys with Tapered head bolts or the Flat head type bolts. ???

[welshpug 1,657]

ALL pug wheels, whether it be steel, alloy with flat bolts or alloy with tapered bolts

75nm for a 1.9 according to Haynes.

75nm for a 1.9 according to Haynes.

 

 

90nm according to my haynes.

and 80 for steels.

[welshpug 1,657]

that's weird every Haynes Manual for a Peugeot in my collection states 85Nm, apart from the 305, which is 59Nm

 

My ZX manual says 90Nm though

all my wheel bolts get done to 90Nm

i just "do 'em up" .

90nm according to my haynes.

and 80 for steels.

 

Hmmm, may need to re-read that and make sure I've got it right. 75nm is bloody tight to be undoing with the standard wheel brace though!

The standard wheel brace is s*it!
