I have a CAD drawing for the Flywheel Trigger Ring I can send you and I could take some photos and send them as well... I am designing the Cam Trigger right now and can send the CAD drawing on that when I'm done.

Here are some updated photos... The Powder Coating is done, Interior sheetmetal and electronics pretty much done and I plumbed the brake system, clutch, welded about a hundred tabs on the chassis and have put the motor back in to get the Fuel Injection System, Intake Plenum and Exhaust fabricated. It's coming along slowly but I am doing it the way I want... I am going to leave the Chassis bare until I test it thoroughly then I will Powder Coat it.

Can we have complete car pix???

I'd love to know the weight of this beast. This motor gets a 5000 lb Titan moving pretty good. This thing is gonna haul ***! I'm tempted to make you throw on some slicks and take it to the drag strip just for kicks...

This thread makes me wanna scream in joy.

verry clean i like it alot..... awesome work. you got skillz.

Post by **kscherbaum** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 3:02 pm

I will send some complete car shots when I get a chance to. Maybe with the sheetmetal all buttoned on.

The car will weigh about 2500-2600 lbs. The motor will put out around 450hp with the stock bottem end. Big Cams, a Q-45 Computer ( modified by JWT's Clark Steppler ) Extrudabody ITB Injection System with a hand made Plenum and hand made Headers... I may go for aftermarket Pistons next Desert Season depending on how it performs. I should be happy with the performance considering the H.P. to weight ratio... Slicks ? Maybe ! I would be curious what it would turn in the quarter - the Five Speed Sequential Geargox should help as well !

I'm betting you need wheelie bars, 450-500 whp + 2500lbs I'm guessing if you can keep it pointed straight mid 12's?

this thing is sick! No shortcuts and everything is done right. Love it!!

Post by **C-Kwik** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:41 am

Lets see. Half the weight of a Titan. 50% more power. That's a nice recipe for a pair of dirty underwear.

Why you trying to take out all the fun? Wheelies would be awesome. And who cares about staying striahgt. It's made to off-road. From the looks of it, it can probably go up the stands, jump off the top, return to the trrack and still pull off an 11 second run.

I disagree. He's missing 2 massive turbos. I don't think he's trying hard enough.

Post by **XJared** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:11 pm

did you get some pics of those cam/crank sensors and triggers for me? thanks,Jared

Post by **kscherbaum** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:18 pm

X-Jared, I will get some photos of the Crank Trigger Wheel tomorrow and post them for you. I am still working on other parts of the car and will have a Cam Trigger designed soon. I can send you the CAD Drawing for the Crank Trigger Wheel as well but I dont know how I can post it here... Do I have to go to I Serve, store it there then attach it ?

Here are some shots of the Flywheel Trigger Ring ( 180 Tooth ) That I had Water Jetted out. I will get some shots of the Sensors as soon as I get them. I think I can use some off the shelf Nissan units...

Post by **kscherbaum** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 6:52 am

Update- Exhaust done, Intake Plenum almost done, Throttle Linkage done, getting close- Cams and Springs going in next week, Cam Sensor design done, going to test fit next week. Getting real close...
