I gotta say, I appreciate you explaining things at such a base level.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Erik is a genius! I'd love to learn a fraction of what he knows when it comes to engine tuning and electronics. Never seen someone rev a car like that remotely. Truly a one of a kind mind.

[@M4xXxIkInG]

im not gonna s*** on what he did since the idea is very very awesome , but theoretically it shouldnt be all that difficult from a technical pov. i dont know what kind of signal the throttle needs, my monkey brain would guess something like a PWM, so u trim the ton/toff timing of the PWM with the trigger and just transmitt it via radio waves to the engine ICU the way you do on actual RC cars. you will need to fit a reciever to the icu tho.

[@erik_cruz]

​@@M4xXxIkInG You nailed it. Thats basically what I did in a nut shell. The RC receiver outputs a PWM signal that corresponds with the trigger position. I sent that output of the receiver to the ECU and had it translate duty cycle into a throttle position request and start request. And there you go, RC controlled P1

[@82ndtodd]

Everything about this episode culminated with the first start, the heart attack 5,000 rpm start, then the RC start that actually scared me because my FELONY 6S BLX shot off across the garage into a packing blanket. Seriously though, I bet 100's of thousands of people will be cheering for you at that moment they see this episode. Thank Tavarish. You have a great ally in Eric and it is amazing to see how much knowledge and intelligence he brings to the table.

[@Anton-gz1go]

Haha I feel you. It also scared me because I once had a runaway with one of my rcs. It went into a bike rack before I turned the radio off which stopped the car. Fortunately it happened with my slash 4x4 and not with my much heavier 1/8 kraton exb which would have caused a lot more damage.

The first thing I was excited to see were the custom turbos. So stoked you did this with the original designers for the P1 turbos. That’s the way to do it. This build has been so much fun to follow. I hope you continue to do extremely demanding builds like this in the future (I’m sure builds like this take their toll on your mental health and wallet though). You just don’t see builds like this on KZbin. EVERYONE has done the same builds on KZbin, at least, it feels like they have. This particular build is in a complete echelon of its’ own.

[@seancmadison]

Those welds on that oil tank are beautiful. Welding on something that was compromised especially unlevel thickness is extremely difficult to tig weld without blowing through. Guy definitely knows what he is doing. If it was cut out and replaced one would expect the welds ground clean but if he did you probably wouldn't have had much of a seal.

[@jamesroy1088]

So cool Tavarish! Way to go my man! I’ve been watching you since you got started. You in part inspired me to do a full restoration on a 2000 BMW E39 M5 I bought 13 yrs ago. Started 3yrs ago. It’s a highly modified screamer now with a Partee Racing engine. I remember starting my fully rebuilt car for the first time a year ago with long tube headers and straight pipes on it. What an exciting moment that was. I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to do that with a P1. I hope to meet you one day, shake your hand, and talk some shop. I wish I had thought to put all of the automotive rabbit holes I went down on KZbin 20 years ago…. I was taking them apart and putting them back together one photo at a time on the forums. You’re a man after my own heart. Congratulations. I can’t wait to see this car driving under its own power with that giant smile across your face.

Hi Freddy, I applaud you for what you are doing. I can't wait for the next videos. I also have to tell yolu that I agree with removing the hybrid system. 400 LBS lighter is going to assist you in getting to your required outcome. I know my comments won't mean much, but as a subscriber in Australia, I like seeing what you are doing with all of your projects. I am a Datsun and Nissan Z car owner. I have owned 9 different Z's since 1981. I still own a 240Z, which is a race car, and I have a 2003 350Z, which I have done a replacement engine on, as I blew the original, and did some bolt on upgrades. Still haven't had it on the dyno yet, as the exhause is somewhat too load for the road here. Please keep doing what you do, and as much as I love the very high end rebuilds, it would be cool to see some more average priced cars. I am near retirement and would love to do similar to some of the things you have done but at a much lower level of car. Keep up the good work!!!
