Another C1100x build, but this one took a different path to get here!
Chris has been a long time customer of ours, and this build reflects that kind of relationship. He originally came from a max effort NA setup and if you’ve seen the car before, you know it was already dialed.
But like most things… it escalated. We took things all the way to a full C1100x build.
Chris wanted a true murdered out look, and we mean everything. Every component that could be powder coated, was. We even went as far as cerakoting the headers and the entire hot side of the turbo system to keep the theme consistent throughout the build.
The end result is a nasty built motor twin turbo C8 that looks just as aggressive underneath as it does on the outside.
We set the car up with our full flex fuel system, so it can run:
Full E85 for maximum power
Or 93 octane whenever needed
The system automatically adjusts based on ethanol content, and with boost-by-gear dialed in, the power is actually usable on the street. Run 93, e85 or a mix of both whenever without compromise.
Between the MoTeC controlling target boost based on ethanol content and the factory ECU adding timing as ethanol increases, it all works together seamlessly. Our Cicio Auxiliary Fuel System and Cicio Billet Intake Manifold for port injection is what really makes this possible at this power level giving us the capacity to safely run full E85. It’s a setup we’ve been running on these cars for years now with our C900 and C1100 packages, simple and proven!
Another thing worth noting, this is the same turbo system we use starting at our 603R package. It’s a system that grows with you all the way to a built motor C1100 setup without needing to change it.
Chris also went with a Forgeline drag pack with our C8-specific sizing and rear beadlocks to help put the power down.
Big thank you to Chris for the continued trust. Builds like this are always a pleasure to be a part of.
I’ll attach photos of the finished car along with a video so you can see (and hear) it for yourselves.
This C1100x is absolutely menacing!
