Volvo 850 T10 Kompressor (Twin engined Project)

[FIREBOLT]

It shouldnt get a Q plate as it already has a registration, I thought Q plates where only used when the majority of the parts on the car have come from several different vehicles and there is no original registration to base it on?.. ie. kit cars.. As yours is already registered you should be able to keep your current reg... Shouldn't you?

This should answer your question

Get a ‘Q’ registration number as there is definite evidence of two cars being welded together,
You won’t be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if 1 of the following applies:
it has fewer than 8 points
it has a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame
there’s evidence that 2 vehicles have been welded together to form 1 (ie ‘cut and shut’)

Your vehicle must pass the relevant type approval test to get a ‘Q’ prefix registration number.

Is the Volvaxo a Q plate? if it isn't, then I can't see that yours would be, as you haven't altered yours as much.

I think it should be, I can only get 2 points for steering as it loses 5 for the body, 1 for engine, 2 for transmission, 2 for suspension, axles etc.

Plant-I confirmed as main sponsor again, the car will have full telematics, so it will be possible to log all data live and even let people go on line and see all the performance and location live.

Seriously cool stuff that, Colin!

You need a sponsor that makes a bonnet that stays shut.

Turbo on:



Radiator and first (intermediate) intercooler in place:

Change of plan on the rad pack already, I think it will be easier to duct air to and from it like this:

[claymore]

Today was relatively productive, fuel tank and swirl pot location decided on:





Supercharger resting in place ready to make some brackets:



Gear selector bolted in and cable runs worked out (should finish that and the throttle tomorrow)

Awesome work colin will you be fitting a Y piece for the clutch line

Yep, hopefully it will have enough travel for both slaves, if not then I'll have a re think.

[Biff]

You work quickly Colin I'll give you that. Brilliant progress & sure you've solved a few head scratching moments.
It will look mental from behind. Lol

Like the fuel tank, late classic mini injection by the look of it, you'll have very limited range, they are only something like 7 gallons ( might just get 5 runs up prescott...lol ) you'll be needing a jerry can with you, just in cast

It will have another mini tank on the other side, with a balance pipe between them.

Gonna be a lot of weight over the back end...

Although, it'll now be a 50/50 split so potentially, with the right castor and camber tweaks...

It wont necessarily stay like that as the tanks are also quite high, but it's a solution until I've got everything running, then I'll revisit the problem and probably have a custom tank made to fit between the bulkhead and engine.

Is the tank for the front engine still gonna be the saddle tank under the rear bench? ah... probably not lol.

Fuel cells in the rear footwell I suppose then.

Lovin' this thread mate

The two mini tanks will feed both engines.

Todays update, not much to see, the throttle is all working, the gear selection just needs 1 more bracket making. Monday will be playing with wires (not looking forward to that)

If you need a hand with the wires I'm about next week, just give me a shout if you like

[p fandango]

aren't you going to have to disconnect the gear lever mechanism for the rear engine to make sure it stays in neutral when only using the front engine
