I literally can't even right now.

I mean I guess that is cool? It looks like total shit, probably handles like shit, and looks quite dangerous. And to top it off its still an ugly jetty.
But at least it's built not bought!
Re: WHAT. - SlimKlim - 06-16-2015
Damn Polecat, you grumpy as fuck lately.
Since when do things have to look good or be safe to be cool?
It's got 2 engines, 14 cylinders, 10 gears and some turbos. And it works. Sort of.

It is cool in that redneck engineering aspect. I just don't get why these people always choose the oddest vehicles and components. I'll be more entertained when there is an electrical problem and he has to chase that down through 2 VW motors!
Re: WHAT. - SlimKlim - 06-16-2015
Yeah I'm assuming that it doesn't really leave that farm they're on. I feel like two separate drivetrains might not do too well on hard pavement. I'd still be thrilled to spend a day fucking around with it in a field.
And if you're going to do some crazy shit like this why not use crazy shit components? Who's gonna get excited about a dual engined N/A civic? No one.
Re: WHAT. - Goodspeed - 06-16-2015
The sound alone makes it worth it. I approve.
I think the first time I realized dual-engined cars were a thing was when I read about this Hyundai in the pages of Sport Compact Car. It competed in their Ultimate Street Car Challenge back in '01 or '02, and did this heinous burnout by putting the front engine in reverse and the rear one in drive:

That's awesome.
My Saab mechanic and I spent way too much time bullshitting about how the truck of my 900 was more or less the same size (and same position over the wheels) as the engine bay. The fabrication and wiring stuff seems "simple" enough, what we couldn't wrap our brains around is how the hell do you keep two totally separate drivetrains in sync.

You don't. It looks like at least one was automatic. I'm sure it was kind of just dragged along.
Re: WHAT. - RawrImAMonster - 06-17-2015
You don't have to keep them exactly in sync. Having the throttles somewhat close on both motors would work fine since the two systems would be entirely separate.
One of them wouldn't be dragged along either, the force generated from both motors would be combined.

Well *I* think it makes perfect sense :thumbup:

Guy didn't hand-mold the crankshaft. What a lazy tool.
Re: WHAT. - SlimKlim - 06-17-2015
I hand-mold my crankshaft regularly

That's usually how I start the day. :lol:
Re: WHAT. - ScottyB - 06-17-2015
so basically the rear engine stays in drive and he shifts the front one by hand? i guess that makes for the easiest hill-assist start of all time.
i can't imagine how awkward that has to drive since you're basically slamming the rear engine's auto all over the place with the throttle every time you shift the front engine...every time you lift to shift i bet it tries to upshift and gets completely confused :lol:
sounds pretty sweet though. i'd rallyx it.
Re: WHAT. - SlimKlim - 06-17-2015
He needs a lever on the manual shifter that overrides the rear engine throttle so when he goes to shift the front engine he can keep the rear one pinned wide open and not lose any momentum. :lol:
Re: WHAT. - Jeff - 06-17-2015
What would happen if you put the front in drive and the rear in reverse?

Have you guys all forgotten the twin engine turbo tiburon from 10 years ago? I miss Sport Compact Car...
