FURY 
(Cadillac Escalade EXT / V-16)

 A few years ago, someone suggested that I try making a model of the 1000 hp Cadillac XV16 concept engine.  I finally
took up the challenge, and made a pretty good copy (not bad, considering the lack of detailed photos available).

 Once it was finished, I had to make a monster truck to put it in.  What better truck to put a caddy engine than
a Cadillac truck?

 I started with Slickster's stock EXT body, rebuilt it throughly, then created and mapped 100% new textures/paint
for it.  A racing chassis with the V-16 fitted to it was manufactured to fit the body.  Animation was added to
the pulleys, fanbelt and the radiator fan for realism.  I also made medium and low detail versions of the truck model
to improve game performance (as is done with the stock MTM2 trucks that come with the game).

A bare chassis version without the body was also created to show off the engine. This "no body" truck is included in the
 same pod as the high detail version of the truck.

Finally, a lower detail tournament version was created to make it more suitable for online racing. This competition version
was placed in it's own pod file, so online racers need not install all 3 version of the truck to race it. The components of the
race version have less vertices, and animation was only applied to the cooling fan. The engine of the race version
has straight pipes instead of tuned headers.


Vertex counts
==========

FURY.POD (high detail version)
-----------------
Fury (main model): 2107
Fury1 (mid resolution): 1284
Fury0 (low resolution): 652

Fury (no body): 2335





FURYTOUR.POD (online race version)
-------------------------
Fury  (tourney): 1284





Please enjoy this truck. I estimate that 80-100 hours of work went into it, with nearly half of that going
 into the V-16 engine and the 8-into-4-into-one exhaust headers.

 Anyone who wishes to use all or part of the truck for their own projects may do so, providing
 that your truck comes with a "read-me" text file listing credits for parts used.  You may also convert it to other
 game formats if so desired, again, as long as a credit file is included.

Have fun!

Below are details of the real Cadillac XV16 engine:
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Code: XV16 
Manufacturer: Cadillac 
Type: V-16
in 90 vee
OHV
 
Bore x stroke: 105.00mm  98.00mm 
Displacement: 13577 cc 828.52 cu in 
Compression: 10.60:1 
Aspiration: Normal 
Max. output: 1013.9 PS (1000.0 bhp) (745.7 kW) 
Max. torque: 1356.0 Nm (1000 lbft) (138.3 kgm) 
 


The XV16 engine is an overhead-valve pushrod design--yes, a pushrod engine that other car companies say is obsolete. Caddy's new V16 proves otherwise. It's high-tech and ultracompact at less than 2 ft. tall and just 28 in. wide. At 45 in. long, it's obviously longer than a Chevy small-block V8, but the XV16 is 10 in. shorter than two small blocks laid end to end. Caddy's V16 is all aluminum (except for cast-iron cylinder liners) and weighs just 695 pounds, which is 64 pounds less than GM's cast-iron 8100 (454-cu.-in.) V8. It also has just 1284 parts (of which more than one-third are fasteners), which is less than many V8s.
 
 
Does it really make 1000 hp? Yes. GM measured it on a dynomometer as shown here. As you can see, the engine has all its accessories mounted, including a rather restrictive looking exhaust system for such a powerplant--just 2-1/2-in.-dia. pipes and mufflers. 
 
 
 The XV16 is designed with bulkheads that separate each pair of cylinders, providing great rigidity. To permit the use of dry sump lubrication (no oil pan means a more-compact design), the V16 has eight oil scavenger pumps (one for each V-twin section) mounted in the bottom of the crankcase. 
 
 
Take a look at these beautiful throttle bores. There is no mechanical reason why they need to be shaped this way. Their oval "eyebrow" sections that envelope the throttle plates are actually a styling statement, to permit a broad curved shape to the top of the intake plenum. Hey, not everything has to be purely functional. 
 
  The XV16 saves weight with titanium valves and springs. But the primary reason for using titanium is that its low mass gives the valvetrain high-revving capability. The horsepower peak occurs at 6000 rpm while the torque peak is at 4300 rpm.

The XV16 shares parts with the next-generation Chevy small block, but it's not made up of two small blocks trimmed and "glued" together. It's more like eight V-twin engines lined up on the same crankshaft center. Each V-twin section has a full bulkhead. So with a nine-main-bearing crankshaft and a four-bolt-per-cylinder main-bearing bedplate, a compact shape and block ribbing, this is a really rigid engine.

Contrary to what you might think, that bulkhead does not result in a power-robbing pressure buildup in each V-twin section of the crankcase. This engine has a dry sump lubrication system, with a separate oil scavenger pump for each V-twin section, so crankcase pressure in each section is simply vented through the separate oil reservoir. The main oil pump for the engine is a new gerotor design--double the thickness of a conventional pump--able to do a lot of work.

Oil pressure has a lot of responsibility in this engine. The variable valve timing (VVT) is controlled by an oil pressure-actuated cam phaser, which can vary valve operation up to 20 advanced, 40 retarded. The Cadillac XV16 is the first pushrod engine with VVT.
