spiderpigcity Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Anyone think that they could build a twin engined Supra. one in the front and one in the back? Any comments? both running a comfy 700bhp that would give you over a 1400bhp and over 1000lb ft of torque. it would kick Verons arrrrse.

marbleapple Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 There are people on here who I am sure if they wanted to they could. JamieP and Chris Wilson spring to mind. I am sure there are reasons why they haven't though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It would be a bit silly really. I'm sure it could be done, but it would be an awful car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I can barely get my lappy bag and my gym bag in the boot... how you going to get another engine in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I can barely get my lappy bag and my gym bag in the boot... how you going to get another engine in there? That could be a reason why remove the back seats too.... and perhaps the front ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I cant see it possible with the way the supra engine points, normally conversions like this are done with transverse engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It would be a bit silly really. I'm sure it could be done, but it would be an awful car. Just out of curiosity why do you say that? Surely it would depend on the way it was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 ferraris engine sits the same, just in the middle Is the gearbox not the other side on ferraris so the drivshafts exit the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderpigcity Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 PITA to drive the front wheels i bet toyota could build one. i reckon it would be a good drag car. who cares about corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderpigcity Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 i bet toyota could build one. i reckon it would be a good drag car. who cares about corners. listen at the end of the day it can be done. there are loads of cars with engines in the back on there are loads of 4 wheels drives with engines mounted the same way and also 4 wheels drive and visa versa. i reckon someone should have a go.

tooquicktostop Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Cant see the point, a big single'd Supra, built engine driving the rear wheels is an amazing experience and one I will never forget, such a rush, cant imagine how heavy the car would be with 2 engines, it would handle like a pig and be as hot as hell, the rear engine would need some interesting cooling system and the drivetrain would be a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderpigcity Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 High powered engine in the front and a 1 litre diesel in the back for getting to work and back now thats a great idea we could even make them run on LPG and then it would be just the same as running a normal supra.

Mike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 High powered engine in the front and a 1 litre diesel in the back for getting to work and back That's not a bad idea My dad has a new Renault mini people carrier thing.. it does 68mpg and isn't bad around town. I filled the washers in it over Christmas and actually laughed out loud when I raised the bonnet. I've seen bigger hair dryers!? it's only a 1.5 with no turbo... modern engines eh?

spiderpigcity Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 now thats a great idea we could even make them run on LPG and then it would be just the same as running a normal supra. Now before we start designing it we need a name for the car. Supra TTTT or Supra BIG DOUBLE SINGLE ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than 200 kilos swinging around in the boot;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It would handle terribly, be VERY heavy amongst many many other reasons. It would probably be quite keen on petrol too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
