A Step Crazier From Aircon

[Teddy]

Hello All

 

You are probernbly wondering what is this bloke on this time - yeah, the air con idea caused some talk, but ive got another idea (s).

 

:D

 

Lets see.

 

The 4kc Engine is a good engine, with some mods, it could possibly make some serious peformance (take nicks 4 example - its not completly suped up, but its sure 1 hell of a ride).

 

I was thinking of moving a 4kc engine in the engine bay so its upright, (the are actually on an angle) and move it to the right as far as possible, and then go and get anotther 4kc motor, and squeez it in beside it ! ! !

 

Now, some complicaiotns -

u connect the engines like in a gokart - or like on the belts at the front of the engine - 2 cogs at the back of the fly wheel - (1 engine would have to turn other way to make it run the other way - over come by a nother cog or soimting) and 1 cog at the fly wheel - if u get my drift - heres a pic i prepaired earlier..hehehe

 

O O

- the top 2 - the engine outputs, and the bottom 1 - to the geare box... back.(not as low tho.) - and the pic may not be as accurate

 

Another issue - they would have to be really well squezed in - this is why the air filter (about carbie) will be razed and will poke though top of bonet - 2 pokind up wirth a little sheild above it - garinteted to look mean :)

 

there would have 2 be 2 radiators - have 2 be moved foward, 1 3/4 sized on the top, and 1 on the bottom .. again - here is a pic i prepaired earlier hhehehe

( it looked better in the editing screen lol)

This would be about 4 cm foward than normal - can fit more in sideways that way :D

 

Remeber, the engines would be re-built, tuned, bored, etc. Would Run 2 2 1/3 exhaust's on either side of body unda neath - 1 for each engine, having a 3 1/2 inch muffler at the end - all for the sound and looks lol. (dreeming again hehe)

 

The accelrator cables would have to be put into the same, and all those little details. Now becuse front will be heaver, the rear will have another fuel tank, this time in bottom of boot (above normal fuel tank unda boot) - Connected up like the sub tank in a landcruzer is - pull a plug and it goes into 1 tank, push it and the fuel goes into another. All the gauges inside would have to be accomidated / customed for 2 engines, the emition stuf... well... lets just say id only keep wats nessary, and ditch the space taking up elements.

 

Stonger shock adsorbers and springs all round, lowered, fatter wheels, power stering would have to be put in - a tad heaver now. Just think, insted of having

"TWIN CAM 16" on the side, u could have

"straight 8, 16 VALVE"

 

Lets see what issues this will raize in the communcity - on and ive lernt somting from these wird ideas from mine - they are not nessarally realistic, or even possible, so please don't get angry / upset / mad to what i say seriously, its just for the hell of it, and just maybee i might learn somting :D - remeber, its fun! :)

Sounds like a cool idea, has been done before with several other cars. I've seen a clubman with 2 x motorcycle engines (did I put a link up for that one? I think I did), have heard of a Hyundai Accent with 2 x 4G63 Evo engines (4WD), to name a few.

 

As you expected, Teddy - your idea would not really work. For a start, if you mount the 4K straight up it will have oil issues. 2ndly, even though there is a heap of space in the engine bay, I doubt there is enough to fit two of them in there (including accessories).

 

But, sounds like a fun idea anyway...

It was out of the movie "Malcolm" if the mini you refer to is the one i'm thinking of.. was it yellow?

[irokin]

There was a guy with a hillclimb honda city that mounted a 2nd engine in the back to drive the rear wheels...was quite of a weapon

[Teddy]

Heheheh Coool - ive actualy thought b 4 of having a car which has 1 engine to power front and 1 to power back lol - and a honda city? oh id like to see a pic of that 1 !

[demuire]

Medicine_Man: No, it was a clubman :D

[Teddy]

club man - thats the square nozed mini isnt it - not the bubblie 1 ( i think so anyway)

Okay, I just *had* to go and look at it again, so here we are:
