Twin engined you say? Intrigued...
'This little beauty' ain't gonna look like that for long.
Hope it works out ok for u col look forward to seeing it and racing:)
Dont forget my wiper blades mate :)
And ive got a spare t5r you can come racing in next year it aint doing nothing else wouldnt be the same with out you :)
Only a couple of months ago I was thinking about building a twin engined T5 (T10) one front one rear. The quick easy(?) way would be to fit the complete engine and subframe with struts etc.
I hope you do it to save me doing it. More hassle than I could really be bothered with. Watching with interest
You don't do things by half do you mate. :D
if it was me id be tempted to build a new tubular subframe. be easier than trying to graft whole front end in. id make it in alloy to.
I'll bring the blades to the meet tomorrow :)
That is exactly what I will be doing
Got to give you lot something to read, now that Pedro doesn't post as meny updates on BT any more
Just much easier to transplant everything into the back
But then I would still be stuck with 430bhp, and I want more :)
Watching with interest :shockedbi
tube chassis! I'm building one
what do you expect this behemoth to weigh?
It will weigh a bit more, but it will have twice the power, I'm liking the look of that tube chasis
This is going to be insane! How much did you end up getting this car for? Many faults with it?
[QUOTE=Henk;661260]tube chassis! I'm building one
wish i could draw on cad like that. ok with 2d with 3d ive got no chance
Dramatic lengths and cost for a 14.6 colin :bud:
understandable, probably a bit better balanced too.
cheers, I do CAD for work too, so if you guys need anything modeled up...
Should be fun to see, can't wait!
cant wait for this to start :D
£250! For a T5 with wear and tear issues! I bet it's a manual GLE with all the bells and whistles as well you jammy..... lol
Scrap that it's an N reg it'll be a GLT (no sunroof) but still manual... lol
I like the trailor idea colin, kit it out with some comfy bedding & curtains it'll knock the spots off any tent!
Good work on scrapping the 5x turbo idea. Think 2x t5k engines will suffice on the power front. Look forward to seeing it in the future if my car ever has mot again. Lol
bookmarked!!!
Am I being greedy :)

So theoretically, this'll mean you can tune the rear engine to come in with the power a little earlier to give the car that little bit of rear-drive oversteer...
very smart, tube all the things ;)

This will be one of the most famous Volvo's around the world :)
Standard t5r = 171 bhp per ton
T-5k = 271 bhp per ton
t-10k = 378 bhp per ton
Which should put it into some tasty company :)
