Default Two engines in a Golf 2 at the same time - 02-12-2004 , 02:51 PM






I'm dreaming of building a fun machine. Take a Golf GTI (maybee 16V) from 88
and mount an ekstra engine/gearbox/traverse/struts ....in the trunk.
I could not find any links on the from people who already done this.
Can you help out with some links?
Greetings DerGolf

Great link, although I doubt the guys claim of pioneering the bi-engine
Golf setup. A bi-engine Golf was raced at Pikes Peak in '87 according to
http://amkg.homeip.net/astory/old1/epphc.htm. I also found a reference
to an article in VW & Porsche Magazine from December 1985 describing a
twin engine Golf at Pikes Peak.
(http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/magazine.html). Check
http://www.ferroli.co.za/twin.htm also.
Some of the above references are to A1 Golfs not A2's.

Try searching for the dual engine Scirocco via Google.

That Golf is probably still at the AutoMuseum in Wolfsburg.

Why not a 383 stroker. That should be a fun project car. Then tub
and slam; although you might miss this years Daytona ;-)

Hi BS,
I'm planning to build a mid-engine V8 (small block chevy) Cabriolet. I'll use a Fiero transaxle/suspension & expect around 400hp. Of course, the subject of putting one in the front to go with it came up, but that's way above my budget & besides I want to see if it will wheelstand. :-)
Let me know if you're in the S.E. USA & we'll get together; I may be able to help you build your machine (or build it for you in my shop).
