DC Performance Project Car:

[Daniel Cragin/DC Performance Inc]

We are working on another project car and I thought you all might be interested. It is a Paxton supercharger with a custom built air-to-air cooler that will run about 12pds boost (supercharger specific engine)

We did quite a bit of engineering to improve airflow, relocating the radiator and adding ducting. This car has several unique features. The radiator contains the oil and power steering coolers and is force-feed from under the car. A new cross member was made to improve chassis rigidity and more efficient supercharger outlet. A custom breather system handles the blowby, The engine will feature a programmable water injection system, stand-alone AEM engine management (most likely with knock control) as well as an 8-channel CDI ignition.

We designed a completely new fuel system with top feed injectors and our new prototype fuel rails, including pulse dampeners.This one has been a labor of love, we will post the results very soon.

Wow, what an incredible amount of work you've put in on this one. Great job. I'll look forwrad to hearing more about it.

BTW, thanks for the input on my oil burning issue under hard braking. We did have to re-route the pcv (excuse me, orifice control) in order to fully correct the problem.

8 channel CDI? Running 4 cylinders on waste-spark or something?

Actually we only use 5 of the 8 channels on the CDI (waste spark). This system really cranks out the current, It even comes with a "may cause death" label.

It looks like you started with the Paxton base kit and made it better. the cross member you made looks alot better and stronger than the Paxton design. What are the tiny holes in front of the bumper?

"Power Steering reservoir cap delete" to save weight?

You're not wrong... modern semiconductors make designing powerful CDI almost too easy. I made one a while back for a race bike of mine. Was good for approx 100,000 RPM on each channel, at least 16 sparks per ignition under 25,000. Couldn't run waste spark as it was a V2 with uneven cylinder firing. The thing chewed coils and leads, and made a nice light show through new leads in a dark garage. Took me twice as long to figure out the best way to turn it down, as it did to make it in the first place. Started out with about 280V on the primary (like you say, possibly deadly).. scorched quite a few spark plug electrodes too. I still have it and may add 2 more channels and use it on my Lexus V8 when the blower comes in.

Looks good Dan! I am happy someone tackled the job of air to air charging it.

The other way they had it set up was lacking big time especially if you are in area's that get hot.

I am sure you will have good results out of it. Looking forward to your results.
