This is how to do it - Astra GSi twin engine 4x4













Conversion 99% finished, the front engine drives the front wheels, the rear one in the boot drives the back ones, hence 4 wheel drive!
This has also been done on a Nova, which did the 1/4 mile in just under 3 seconds at Santa Pod last year!!!

Oh, and both engines are turbo-charged!

Wow

Wonder if there is one fuel tank ?

Are both the engines the same ?? Its kinda difficult to see

Both engines are the same 2.0 8v ones. Easier to run in sync with each other, I can imagine how much of a nightmare it was get the throttle cable opening the same time, and wheels spinning in sync.

Fuel tank is between seats and engine, underneath the car (of course).

Two dump valves going off at the same time = awesome.

Sweet m8 absulutly mint!!!! Supernova!!!! I want a 2.0 calibre engine for my Nova soon!!

whoa, sweet. Be nice to see the performance results when finished.

Nice

Different to see someone using the older 8v motors rather than a pair of valve turbo lumps

nice

but 3 second nova! jesus! wouldn't mind seeing that!

I have it saved on my PC as a .wmv file.

Cant host videos, but if someone wants me to mail it to them to host.....

The Nova is called the 'Boost Beast', and was made by Regal (Vauxhall tuners).

Here's a link to the Boost Beast site (nothing in there anyway):
