El Diablo RG
Specifications
- 230hp (91 pump @ 20psi), 300hp (e85 @ 30psi) engine horsepower
- Dual cylinder 999cc, single turbo
- Bore 98mm, stroke 66.2mm
- Four valves per cylinder, DOHC configuration
- Two injectors per cylinder (4 total)
- Forged pistons, rods, and crank
- Genuine alternator with maximum 230A size (stock 90-130A TBD) - accessory pulley will power hydraulic steering pump
- "Speed key" is a tune available for e85 gas that allows 300hp
- Purchase of the key requires the release of liability and immediate void of warranty
- Unlocks governed top speed of ~85mph
- Porting designed by indy car/NASCAR racing engineers
- 12mm spark plugs with dedicated cooling circuits - allow for higher cylinder pressures
- Radiators are positioned behind rearmost seats and mounted at an angle to direct hot air up and away from the engine
- Three cooling fans on the radiator in a pull configuration
- Dry sump oil circulation system, the oil filter will be easily accessible
- Runs on 91 octane. Can run on lower octane fuel, but ECU will detune the engine accordingly
- ECU will adjust boost pressure accordingly with a flex-fuel sensor, so you do not need to drain tanks to change fuels
Drivetrain
- Axles are double plunge, 300M stars, same used in RG's Dakar race UTVs
- Largest in industry ring and pinion in both front and rear
- Patented locking CV mechanism built into front/rear differentials
- Front differential (transaxle) is a single, complete unit
- Cast and machined aluminum unit
- Mechanical "dogged" locker in the front allows for shifting in and out of 4×4 locked on the fly
- Easily removable and replaceable if there is significant front end damage
- Torque limiter built in to help reduce wear from large impacts between front/rear end of car
- Front and rear differentials are the same ratios (wheel turn 1:1)
- Large, 4 spider front differential
- Tongue and groove connection between main chassis and front bulkhead bolts in with 8 bolts + ties into both lower rear A-arm mount bolts
- Plates where A posts bolt into above and on the side of the bulkhead
- Transmission
- 3 speed (P-R-N-Lo-Hi-Cruise) CVT with shift on the fly (dogged)
- Infrared belt temperature sensor with handicaps built in to manage belt life - feature bypassable via a switch (think traction control)
- Albins and Weddle assistance in transmission design
- Largest input shaft in the industry
- Primary drive gear 2.5x wider than XX
- Torque limiter (essentially a clutch) built into loading gear to help save transmission by separating input shaft from ring/pinion - acts as a "sponge" to slip and absorb large impacts when pushing the machine harder
- Clutching will be tuned for 32" tires
Chassis (frame)
- Plastics/chassis from the front door forward are the same and plastics from the front of the rear fender back are the same
- 15" ground clearance
- Reinforced "spine" with "V-bars" connecting to suspension mounting points
- FIA A-pillar supports frame in front end impacts and rollovers
- The rear portion of cage removable for easy work on and removal of the engine as needed
- Roll cages are well-built stock, however, will be bolt-on so that aftermarket manufacturers may produce their own produces
- The engine hangs (mounting points above) in case of hard impacts below. Keeps proper alignment in the event of impacts and crashes - makes for easier/cheaper repairs.
- Different tube diameters used throughout chassis, all DOM equivalent tubing
- Blue 1¾" OD  0.095" wall
- Green 1½ " OD 0.120" wall
- Red 1¼" OD 0.095" wall
- Orange 1½" OD 0.095" wall
- Yellow 0.095" wall
- Mig welded - structurally safer for rollover crash testing - proven in NASCAR and other forms of racing
