Twin engine GTP project progress thread

Damn... That's awesome.. Makes me wonder, on the other thread you have going about the turbo 11 second build.. Do you use stock exhaust manifolds on it or P-logs??

Hey guys, just so you know. I'm not trying to say none of the upgrades are useful.
P-Logs replacement of the front manifold is a big gain on a S/C set up or a very large turbo set up.
In my case, for my daily driver and the parts car when it ran 11.00 had a small turbo with a small opening. Going to a P-log would not make much difference as the main restriction is the turbine of the turbocharger.

Also I run a bone stock engine for the simple, it's cheap and easy and gives me the results I want. I have to run a little more boost than guys running higher flowing set ups but in my case it's perfectly fine. I'd rather enjoy my car more often with doing as little work as possible. So far it's been very good to me. The main limitation in the car itself is the transmission. So why would I need any more power I can already make the trans slip if I want by cranking up the boost.

So all in all, I'm waiting for the projects to become bottlenecked to the point I HAVE to buy a built trans to go faster or buy expensive lightweight parts... That's where I am now.
This is why I am building the twin engine project. Since by splitting the weight in two between two completely independant drivetrains I will put less stress on each transmission and therefore go quicker.
Although the rear engine is going to have so much traction, it's bound to hit that wall quicker, I expect Solid 9 seconds out of the twin engine, once both engines are turbocharged and working well.

At this point if you really think about it, take out all of the work and R&D of course, maintenance wise, this car will be cheap as hell for such a quick car. 500$ engine, 300$ transmissions...
