Dual engine

[ChIoVnIdCa]

I need to post a big picture so you can see what is going on... I know this setup would not work for any Honda engine that is designed for fwd but I have two different ways I am thinking of to get it done. More of the Audi way. I have a spare car and a spare h22 and a couple bucks. I was thinking wagon because it would be much easier but.... Id rather go coupe.. I took some measurements and they all work out..

Umm, here's an awesome twin engine 91' Talon.http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...5329866&hl=en#

Yeah, I've seen the talon before but I've never seen the first one. Pretty neat. My room mate and I have talked about making a CB7 with two engines both using auto transmissions.

The idea would be weird as hell because they would probably shift at different points, so your car will double shift

I didn't see that one of the twin engine talon, I saw this one first http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...91111919924227

don't forget the dual engined beta powered Tiburon featured on Super Street a while back.

Anyone remember the twin h22 Del Sol?

The Hurst Hairy Olds

A 1966 442 outfitted with twin Toronado drivetrains front and rear, and supercharged on top of it. Hurst built it as an exhibition car to demonstrate the strength of the Toronado's revolutionary FWD drivetrain.

The Hurst Hairy Olds...

When it reached 140mph, all 4 tires were still spinning and billowing smoke clouds. The steering mechanisms were usually bent from the power of the engines and had to be repaired after each run.

[Accrdwgnguy]

Yea they had to set the front toe out so it would go to the correct setting under hard acceleration. This caused the wreck of the car when the front engine shut off halfway thru a run and the driver lost control due to the toe reverting back to out.

Only 2 engines? Lame.

Try 4.

amateurs compared that that!

hell you can look at trackor pulll cars, they run any where from 2-6 motors, now thats some torque.

^^ 1st pic there has 5 motors with blowers and the one after it look like jet engine......maybe you should scrap the twin motor idea and just jet power that bitch.

Tractor pullers are hydrualically coupled though, not as awesome as direct driveline

yeah but the drive train wont break as easy as drive shaft but yes they are completely different animals.

Theres no other way to do 6 differently oriented engines and get 6 drivelines to couple any other way and make it work... Thats actually why they do it like that.
