If your referring to the Crankshaft pulley bolt then torque should be as follows:

98 NM + or - 5NM either way

in FT-LB it works out as:

72.3 FT-LB's + or - 3.6 FT-LB's either way

Good Luck

Just to add to the confusion, I have copied the following directly from the Sunaru workshop manual:

B: INSTALLATION
1) Install crankshaft pulley.
2) Install pulley bolt.
To lock crankshaft, use ST.
ST 499977100 CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
WRENCH
(1) Clean the crankshaft pulley thread using an
air gun.
(2) Apply engine oil to the crankshaft pulley bolt
seat and thread.
(3) Tighten the bolts temporarily with tightening
torque of 44 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft-lb).
(4) Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolts.
Tightening torque:
177 N·m (18.0 kgf-m, 130.2 ft-lb)
3) Confirm that the tightening angle of the crankshaft
pulley bolt is 65 degrees or more. If not, conduct
the following procedures (1) through (4).
(1) Replace the crankshaft pulley bolts and
clean them.
Crankshaft pulley bolt:
12369AA011
(2) Clean the crankshaft thread using an air
gun.
(3) Tighten the bolts temporarily with tightening
torque of 44 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft-lb).
(4) Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolts keeping
them in an angle between 65 degrees and 75
degrees.
