You need two gearboxes, two clutches and you need to effectively have two front halves of the car. The hardest part is getting the clutch and throttle cables to operate in tandem.
Although a twin engine car will be 4 wheel drive, it doesn't have a prop shaft like a regular 4x4 car. The front engine drives the front wheel and the back engine drives the back wheels. As long as both engines are of equal power and the gearing is the same it should work. You also need to take into account positioning of the radiator and intercooler (if applicable) for the rear engine. Most twin eng cars have side or roof vents for this.
A twin engined Renault 5 GTT turbo built not far from where I live has a faster 0-60 and runs the quarter mile quicker than a Lamborghini Diablo. It's got two turbo'd 1.4s, so about half the engine capacity of the Diablo. |

| Nice Corsa mate , im getting a Saxo VTR in 3 months when my insurance drops by half , its a 1.6i so its a flying machine , 100BHp standard then the air induction kit and K & N Airfilter and the superchip, which is gonna make the car 130Bhp which is very fast for a hatch back, for £2000 i could get it to 185Bhp by adding a new manifold to the engine, but it all gets expesive, i like that golf with the tv's init . sweet. |

Nautica, u live newhere near Twickenham, and wanna give me a lift in your sweet car? :D :D :D :D
I want to do up my Seat Ibiza (excluding engine Mods) cos theres this wicked insurance company that doens't take into account aesthetic mods, ie bodykit, alloys, exhaust! His 318 BMW with bodykit, 17" TSW's, suspension, Twin DTM exhaust was insured for £650!!!!! And they only added on £50 for his £2000 ICE system!
Unfortunately, the imaginatio is wider than the wallet, so u won't be seeing any pics soon! In fact, give us pics of this twin engined Renault 5! |

Sorry, I live the other end of the country! That car's not mine. It's a mate's 1.1 that has been fully converted to RS Turbo spec. Mine's a genuine RS Turbo, and although not as mad on the interior (check www.fiestaturbo.com for more pics of that one!) it does have more than a few tasty tweaks, 18"s, coilovers and fappin huge brakes. :happy2: |
