INSTALLING A FASS FUEL SYSTEM ON THE C10, PROJECT CTANE

- KEVIN TETZ

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.
