Any summary on what the Rebello motor comprises of? Sounds like a wicked set up!

Post by: rwinter on August 30, 2011, 01:22:38 AM: thanks to both you guys! Lets see.. 11:1 compression, J and E pistons, Calico coated bearings, custom baffled oil pan, Custom fittings welded in for oil cooler plumbing, Chevy Camaro 5.0 radiator (cheap, very light, and never runs hot), setrab oil cooler, custom headers, 450cc injectors. He's pretty secretive about the cams, I had some chicken scratches that it had duration 268/264 at .050. If you don't know what an electromotive Tec3r controller is, it is full engine control- everything is programmable, ignition and fuel. Its amazing all the different tables and graphs and settings. Wide band feedback to the controller works great. Neat wideband LED gauge keeps you updated that mixture is right. Uses two electromotive coils. Front crank damper is custom of my own design, will not come apart like the stock ones can. This engine spins to 8k rpm. Going uphill, it gains nicely on E36 M3s. I will get some pics, but not for at least a few days.

You don't really expect to see the word "beast" and "318" in the same sentence.

Title: 318is racecar
Post by: woof132 on September 22, 2011, 10:38:28 PM: nice. dave rebello built the engine in my 240z. 320hp out of an unstroked 2.8l Z engine that will rev to 8800rpm. it just screams. No finer engine builder in the world. Very excited to hear he's done an m42. might have to pay him another visit. nice 318is
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: romkasponka on September 23, 2011, 08:21:16 AM: is this modified front struts to move back roll center after lowering?

I have about the same idea :P
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: wazzu70 on September 28, 2011, 10:47:11 PM: Dyno chart (numbers are crank/bhp):

(http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/nhertlein/rwinter/Robello318iscrankdyno.jpg)

The front struts are modified to restore proper roll center. Just like the group A spacers on the M3.
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: rob_e30 on September 29, 2011, 03:24:53 PM: Were the dyno numbers interpreted from a chassis dyno (RWHP * some factor for drive line loss) or engine dyno measured at the flywheel? If Chassis dyno, what factor to get to flywheel power?
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: wazzu70 on September 29, 2011, 03:44:04 PM: I assume its an engine dyno. The file name I got suggests its done at Robello.

I cant say for sure though.
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: rwinter on September 30, 2011, 02:14:17 AM: Its from an engine dyno. Thanks.
Title: 318is racecar
Post by: rob_e30 on September 30, 2011, 02:02:18 PM: Thanks. Can ask for more reliable numbers than that. I'm a bit surprised at the shape of the torque curve with the stock intake manifold.

It looks like a great car and a lot of fun. GLWS
