FASS Fuel Systems makes some of the best fuel systems out there for pickups and class 8 diesel vehicles, so for our pro-touring 2WD diesel powered C-10 (Project CTane) sporting a 2016 Nissan Titan XD powertrain, FASS is an obvious choice for a lift pump on our fuel system. The world’s first 5.0 Cummins powered C10 sits on a foundation from Schwartz Performance with their Jig Welded 67-72 C10 G-Machine Chassis that features a fully boxed 2X6 frame, triangulated four link rear suspension, Modern front suspension design, splined sway bars at both ends, Full float 9 inch Rear end, and 14 Inch Baer Brakes with 6 piston calipers on all four corners.
The Stock 5.0 Cummins was upgraded by CFT Performance with a 5 Blade Mafia Stainless Diesel turbo, so we should see a considerable performance gain over the stock numbers. Nissan reports are in the 310/550 range on a 7000lb truck, and performance is decent on a bone stock Titan. Similar CFT Performance upgrades have netted 600 HP and nearly 1000 Ft/Lbs. at the tires on a stock engine, so considering our C 10 should weigh 4000 lbs. without a driver, we’re anticipating a VERY strong truck. The Porsche 911 GT3RS has a power to weight ratio of 5.9lbs per HP… Ours will be around 6.5 lbs. per HP, and due to the aggressive engine set-back of 25 inches we should be very close to 50/50 weight distribution.
Hello Fun!
Fuel delivery starts with a “Ricks Tanks” stainless fuel cell that sits behind the rear suspension, and will feed into the FASS system with a return line from the pump and a second from the engine making sure the Cummins V8 gets all the fuel volume it needs along with necessary filtration. Our FASS (TS D10 125G) 125 Gallon Per Hour Signature Series pump and separator kit is designed for a 94-98 Cummins 5.9 12 valve application but will work perfectly on our common rail 5.0 V8. Our kit has everything you need to plumb into the factory Dodge fuel and electronic system in a few hours with basic hand tools, but our installation is going to be ridiculously simple, with a stripped-down system. Horsepower is an equation, but torque is what you actually FEEL in a high-performance vehicle and we’re itching to get some track time in this one of a kind blend of vintage and modern technology!
