shhhh... let them think it is done via magical synching technique lol...Originally Posted by Turbocharged400sbc
Every single person that ever looked at my project, their first question is "How are you going to sync the engines together ? "
Can the DBW work with a 2000 year PCM ? Is the system independant ?we are looking at throttle cable for the front and DBW for the rear since i can setup a pedal sensor at the cable pedal as well as be switchable to a remote thumb control.
We were brainstorming some ideas about controlling each engine:
1- Have 2 gas pedal one beside the other. That enables control of each engine independantly for burnouts but it would be very hard to feather an engine more than the other during acceleration.
2- Have a Thumb controlled engine (rear) like a snowmobile. That is something I'm very familiar with driving, it wouldn't be hard for me at all. But if I have to do an emergency maneuver to get the car back in line, it could be a BIG problem because I couldn't keep controlling the throttle for the rear engine with the steering wheel hard right or hard left.
3- 2 gas pedals, one where the parking brake pedal is and go with a hand operated parking brake. That would enable smooth control of each engine but it would quite the training to get rid of the habit of using the left leg for braking only. That could be dangerous in a situation where instincts take over.
So TBC400SBC, you did run your twin engine already ?
