Heres an Idea!!!

Has anyone ever thought bout removing everything from the rear of the car and putting a Vts Turbo'd engine in to run the back wheels and a vts turbo'd engine to run the front wheels? I wonder what power, 0-60 etc it would achieve. In theory it would be a 4wd 3.2 twin turbo saxo!!!

7th March 2006, 14:45

Im sure someone has thought about it but it would cost a hell of a lot of money!

7th March 2006, 14:47

are were it to crash the sax would turn to dust!

7th March 2006, 16:49

thats is so hard to do! to het both runing together!! it would be amazing tho!!

7th March 2006, 21:25

I seen a nova which was like tht it did 0-60 in summin like 3.5 sec

7th March 2006, 21:53

easily done but youll need a lot of money and they both have to run together properly its no good one being faster than the other but it can be done anything is possible

7th March 2006, 23:50

is it possible though!?????! sum one please explain how to me!?? Ratty im waiting for your answer..... LOL

7th March 2006, 23:59

of course its possible exact same as putting an engine in the front, gear linkages would be fun though

8th March 2006, 01:07

some did it to a nova with two c20let turbo lumps 0-60 was 2 seconds somthin

8th March 2006, 01:12

I remember seeing that nova was a black one if I remember rightly.

8th March 2006, 03:44

yep it was a black nova on 18's built by regal autosport in southampton...

they had trouble getting both engines to run together so i believe they scrapped the project in the end....

8th March 2006, 03:47

:| y not just use the extra space at the back and put a better bigger engine in ? then it would be RWD saxo xxxx?? TURBO ! lol, that sounds craaaazy though, two engines front and back.

8th March 2006, 04:08

ye that noxa is on max power dvds is it?the old ones i think

8th March 2006, 04:08

yeh can b done lookin at big big money though!!

8th March 2006, 15:15

it aint really worth it i dont think trying to get both engines to work in perfect harmony what with the gear change electrics cooling etc may aswell get an engine with the same output as both n stick it in the back thinkin about it tho i swear ive seen a kit car company make twin engine thing an they tested it on top gear or 5th gear

the new bugatti (probably spelt wrong

) is a twin engine quad turbo 1000bhp car made bye volkswagon and it cost 5million to build

so money can do pretty much anything......

8th March 2006, 16:21

mjs performance have done it with a 106 gti they stuck a RST engine in the back was suppose to be abit of a weapon

8th March 2006, 16:23

oh yea i remember seenig that....

8th March 2006, 16:45

lets just say an ax with a vts turbo engine in is plenty enough fast nevermind a twin engined one, ask mooser on ssc for confirmation

although the problem is getting the power down, once moving your fine.

8th March 2006, 21:39

that bugatti aint really got two engines tho has it i thought they just used a W engine with 4 turbos

9th March 2006, 00:34

bugatti engine is a W16 cylinder engine.

TVR speed 12 is two cerbra engines spliced together.

A german tuning company modded an Audi TT to have an engine in the front and one in the rear - these type of veichles are usually called Bi-Motos.

A caterham was made that had a bi-moto configuration... it broke a driveshaft when they attempted the 0-62mph world record for a road legal car.

Main problem is getting the engines to be in sync you cant have one pushing hard than the otherwise you knaker both engines n transmissions and unlikely to have any handling qualities. To overcome it you need some ECU to keep a tight monitor things - which needs some equally clever software. As Reefy said be easier to lob a f*cking massive engine in the back.

would be nice to see it done though

.what sort of power figures it would push out
