duragg Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Rebello L30 motor is in and running. Feels like double the power of the old L28 (which was injured). Wheel dyno next week and adjustments to stay in 9:1 (+.1 or -.3 depending on tires). If you never see me post the dyno numbers you will know how it went...

RebekahsZ Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Be a man-post 'em either way! Seriously, I read every post in your thread, so please tell us what it makes-or PM me the answer if you don't want the competition to know. Cheering you on.

duragg Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ok, ok. I will post once done. Sounds wikked. And the cam is gnarly looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Oh and RebekahsZ why you selling those Tokicos? What you replaced with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Konis 8610-1437RACE single adjustable. Tolerated a dead shock (the beaten up one) for 15 years planning to replace it "one day," then Tokico goes belly up! Replaced all 4 shocks (what a PITA) all because of the one bad one. Surprised nobody has tried to buy them yet, surely I'm not the only guy out there with one bad Tokico....will put them on ebay later this week. For what it is worth (probably not much), the tokicos are more stiff in both bump and compression than the konis when compressed by hand out of the tube. But, in rebound, you can really tell when you have the konis in full soft or full dampening. Not so for the tokicos-my little elbow shock dyno can't tell a bit of difference from setting 1 to setting 5. Just finished the AZC wildwood conversion. When I was trying to get 200# torque on the stub axle nut, I couldn't get the rear wheels to lock. So, I went to my prop valve and set it full loose (definitely couldn't get 200# on the nut), then I set the prop valve full power (and rear wheel locked right up and took the 200#). It is nice to be able to see these adjustable components working as advertised. With the old Maxima calipers, I could never tell if the prop valve was full on or off, and I had to use the parking brake to help hold the wheel for torquing the stub axle nut. Its coming together!

duragg Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 My Team Manager trying out new motor. "Don't bottom out on the fuel farm", I said... But he did and I had to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duragg Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I haven't really started dialing in the carbs yet. They are perfect 11.5 to 12.5 at WOT and being a track only car, who cares about the rest. But i will make some new idle jets and probably reposition one of the Prog Ports with the Franck tool. Maybe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duragg Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Dynojet in Phoenix at the NASA approved facility.. 258 to the wheels was our best, but there were indications of detonation so we had to pull timing. Final configuration for classing purposes with filters and safe timing on 100LL fuel will be 248 wheels (245+ from 6250 to 7500) With a few weight changes and 275 tires gets me just perfect at the ST3 class limit of 9:1. Motor is clean, dry, healthy and seems happy. Did I want 275? yes I did. Might need to revist Bob Reams system soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGhost623 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Very very early on before I met you, I talked with Bob Reams, he doesnt do weber tuning anymore. Are you maybe thinking of going the fuel injection route now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Duragg, those are impressive numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 That particular dyno we are required to use seems a little harsh on its readings. I dyno'd my old motor which had previously been near 200, and this dynojet said 165, a number that just didn't make sense based on how I was holding against other cars. But this is the classing requirement. Bob Ream makes EFI ITBs with the same footprint as the DCOE carbs. Totally custom, very cool, vrry spensive.

Samson Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Amazing build! Sounds badass. Looking back at your previous post it shows you have the coolant passage on the head blocked off. What was the thread size on that? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Not sure on coolant passages. Its in the forum somewhere. I think its just a regular pipe thread? 3/8 NPT or 1/2? And wow... that Rebello motor never quits pulling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
