Twin engine Mk1 Golf

[Sharkie]

Found this article that may be of interest to some people .... A crazy guy in Cape Town, South Africa, took a Citi Golf and stuck 2 x 16V turbo engines in it, giving it over 600kw, AWD and a quartermile time of 10.6s ....

Golf twin-engine

AS you can see making mega power out of the 16V engines is something the boys there do really well, with some 16Vs making up to 385kw ..... .... makes the 300 odd kw MK1 I had seem tame in comparison ....

Jesus Christ, that thing is mental.
Power to weight ratio would be unreal!

a quick car....but ended in tears



looks alot like the ex Awesome car from the uk with twin 2.0 16v's

AxxxUFO was the 'Awesome' green twin 2.0 but it was just twin NA motors with nos iirc

[velly_16v_cab]

I gotta do something like that next.

I gotta do something like that next.

Agreed, I'd love to do that as well .... again .... just better next time than the last time.

Pity it was destroyed .... sounded awesome and just like mine when it was on that dyno ..... ahhh the good old days .....

Marty, twinenginetwinturbs has a Mk1 in Orange with twin 8v GTI engines, each of which is turbo!

There are some pics in his Gallery on here. I have never seen it and reckon he needs to bring it to a show.
Come on Marty, get out of the shed and show us your beast.
