installing vmp nm to inch pounds?

[deepimpact]

If I did my math correct 10 nm comes to 88.5 inch pounds correct? I wanna be sure since I'm installing g by myself.

Not sure, what exactly are you torquing with this spec?

The lower part of blower the six bolts saying to torque at 10nm

Blower to intake manifold, 13mm heads? I know the M90 and TVS1900 had 6 bolts but the TVS2300 has 8. I never used a torque wrench on that and had mine off and on a dozen times. I reused the metal gasket instead of buying new ones (impossible to find) but added a little bit of black RTV silicone the last few times.

Torque spec is great, but even without it you'll be fine as long as they are all tightened evenly and not overtorqued. You're threading into aluminum.

It's the lower intake the upper does have more and yes I figured as long as they don't get over tightened and go in order like it says I just was not sure since this is my first sc install so far everything is goin great grinding was a breeze with a cut off well took like 20 mins.

88.5 / 12 = 7.375 ft lbs. This isn't very much tq....so don't over do it.

Pretty sure I used a 1/4" drive tq wrench on the manifold bolts for that reason. ^^
