does anyone remember a certain twin engine Tiburon in SCC several years back... had two engines basicly stock making a little over 300whp each. ran 10s, looked stock... murdered all (drag/street racing/burnouts)...

My first thought when first started reading this thread. ;D

Yeah I remember the article 10.96sec 1/4 mile and the gross display of power part. B/c they alcohol fuel they had a terrible gas mileage.
Did not do too well with the Grandma test.

Skidpad number were ok. This was the first SCC challenge and the shity thing they allowed a Ferrari (a mag sponsor) to be entered.
The Ferrari ends up winning the challenge. The only mod on the Ferrari was wheels and tires.

I wish Modified mag. who took over SCC remaining staff should keep this challenge going. My favorite articles from SCC was about the challenge.
Now all I see is Drift, Time attacks, and some drag racing of next to exotic cars in "tuner" type magazines. Import mags. starting to really suck.

You've been quicker than me....

Since my Teg is quite rotten bodywise, I wanted to drop my B18T in a Festiva or swift or micra in RWD position.

Keep on rockin

maybe i missed it but can someone explaine how the transmission and shifting will work etc..i have an idea but its probably wrong

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #39 on:** October 15, 2009, 09:13:48 AM »

Nice job so far, it looks like you thought before you started cutting. I'd probably just puss out and run a 3G Prelude box with a modern B-series and rear-only driveline. If it was dual engine the front one would be a slushbox so I didn't have to fool with it.

That's primarily because it's chassis/suspension/engine design originated outside of the 1990-2006 failure era.

Corrados dont count, since they are a scirocco in disguise.

There used to be a white 1st Gen CRX with twin accord motors running around. Super Clean car, I saw it at the SCCA Divisionals Harrisburg PA in 95.

IIRC those started in '89, which means the design was on paper in '87-88. Not a failure era car.

Anybody want to donate the entire front suspension off of an ed in the WA area? :yes: I will be heading to the junk yard tomorrow to cut off some front strut tops and collect some parts. Hope to get the rear end all located this weekend and have it bolted/welded in.

Not really. There's some pretty cool interchange between Hyundai and Mitsu if you wanted to get crafty, and the new Genesis doesn't suck at all.

idlk, the Genesis is pretty neat.

Looks like a cool project.

Ninja edit: damn you JD. And I didn't think of the interchanging either. I remember seeing some of the older hyundai hatches with 4g63t's in em. :yes:

malichite · « **Reply #48 on:** October 17, 2009, 10:34:33 PM »

Today a "used to be" beautiful crx made the ultimate sacrifice and gave it's front suspension, cross member, brakes and strut tops to AWESOMENESS. Thanks AJ for the reference to Yank-a-part. Those guys rocked! I now have the front sheet metal strut tops so I can weld those in the rear. The bandsaw is ripping away right now on some square tubing for cross member mounts as I type. I am hoping to have the cross member bolted in tonight so I can start the sheet metal work on the strut tops and get those polished off. I will post some pics up a little later tonight.

badass project, very interested in how your going to do the shifter set-up

ratcityrex · « **Reply #52 on:** October 18, 2009, 02:21:08 AM »

No man...

Sorry I have to go to olympia tomorrow. I thought it was today but I was wrong. So I spent the whole day pulling the engine out of this geo tracker. Man this thing is easy as fuck to work on. Probably the easyest thing I have ever worked on besides a civic. I pulled the motor today and and now I have to swapp all the parts from the bad block over to the good one. Im making $600 to do the swap. I got about 4 hours into it so far. Once all said and done I figure Ill have 15-20 hours into it. Also repacing every gasket, doing a valve adjustment, new plugs, wires, cap rotor, and cleaning the whole thing up like new.

Man I wish I had some free time in the next 3 weeks. I would love to bring the mig down and help out.

I like Trackers, always wanted to turbo one. They don't suck in the snow, either.

The guy im doing the swap for got it new in 89, it only has about 91k on the clock. His son ran it low on oil and it has a knocking rod. Other than that its CLEAN.

fuckers quoting my altered posts.

looking forward to this build. ever thought about using automatic trannys?

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #56 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:29:03 PM »

I know it doesn't really apply since you are using two different drive lines, but this is an answer to a question I've had for a while.

malichite · « **Reply #57 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:37:41 PM »

Well, started out by getting the sheetmetal bolted to the jig. I then located the crossmember and made some mounts for the rear cross member. Ended up having to do some more cutting in the fender wells to clear the upper control arms. Next I need to start working on the sheetmetal and closing up the wheelwells.Got to admit, it looks wierd seeing the rear wheels turned

I will address that later.
