There are differences in torque wrenches. One among the wrenches is the click-type torque wrench. It is an easy to handle kit. While applying the wrench and when the torque reaches the desired limit, the device automatically"clicks". This wrench could help you with providing the right amount of torque to be applied. Twisting of torque marks the desired torque to be applied.

To tighten nut/bolts or any kind of threaded fastener. When you happen to tighten the bolts that fuse with each other over the surface, this end up with 'pre-load'. If you happen to fasten with less torque, that ends up loosening and leads to failure of operation. If the same is done with a higher torque, that leads to deforming the bearing surface. And might end up with safety critical. Hence, it is recommended to use a torque wrench that helps fastening with exact torque.

Rx7 horsepower torque?

not sure what your asking is even a question - more a collection of words with a question mark at the end but this may be relevant to your ques... i mean words.. Torque per se does not affect a car's acceleration ability. The spread of torque between the engine's maximum speed and the corresponding speed for the next higher gear does. If your car drops significantly from its torque peak when you change gear (that's you, Celica VVTi) then that can affect your acceleration. All the talk in magazines about torque being important in the real world is because most people are conditioned by the government to drive at low engine speed, and expect to be able to accelerate hard from low revs. In reality a more powerful car will always be faster than a less powerful car, regardless of their respective torque outputs, given the proviso above, if driven to the engine's power peak. In respect of the RX-7, which is beautifully geared to drop neatly into the meat of secondary turbo boost for every new gear, you can rest assured that the relatively low torque output is completely irrelevant so long as you rev to just short of the bleeper. And, let's face it, that's what you'd do anyway right? HP is rated at 255bhp on paper however due to a gentlemans agreement between auto makers in japan at the time Mazda lied about the power output. Cars tested leaving the factory were found to be more like 300+bhp in the higher spec models (R1 / R2 models) at the time in japan all major car makers agreed they wouldn't make cars more than 255bhp. hence why Mazda embelished the truth somewhat. hope this helps, as you can tell i have an awfull lot of time on my hands.
