Excellent work! Innovation goes a long way. Id love to know more about how you were able to link up the two gearboxes to shift in tandem using one gear stick. Did you have problems here, or was it ok? Cheers! Graham

after completing front engine's cooling and exhaust systems, we hard-wired an external 405 fuel pump to start the front engine after several months of being out of use... it started without problems, apart from expected noisy hydraulic lifters. 205 Mi32 :: video #001 :: Starting the front Mi16 engine thanks.

Really excellent work! So you must be really close to it bieng finished now, can't be much left to do! Can't wait for the next installment! Have you ever looked at www.durocco.com for some inspiration? (bit late now but its well worth looking at!)

oooh, there IS A LOT left to do... believe me . ok, maybe not in grand scheme of things, just to get it running, but still... yeah i've been using durocco and boostbeast for inspiration but have gone a different route, as you can see . thanks.

in the second part of the Phase 5 story, we continue work on rear engine's coolant system: and after testing the wiring and all the sensors, we get the engine started: you can find the 2nd part of the story (with another 25 pics) on THIS PAGE. with work being spread over a few months, Phase 5 is finally complete!stay tuned for an exciting video of starting the rear engine! B) i want to wish all the members of this forum a happy and successful new year in health, love, business and ofcourse... cars! thanks.

after completing rear engine's electrics and cooling system, we attempt and manage to start the rear engine for the very first time! it started fine, with the grease on the exhaust manifold burning off a bit. 205 Mi32 :: video #002 :: Starting the rear Mi16 engine thanks.

Hope you keep the body looking stock as it would be the ultimate sleeper!

Excellent progress as always Cybernck! The fuel tank is ace, i'm impressed that you had it built with a fuel level sender- thats one detail most people leave out but its very useful to have one! You drove it using the front engine only- have you made it so that you can do this all the time or was the rear engine just temporarily disconnected? I suppose you could have it so that the rear engines clutch can be locked on permenantly by using a hydraulic line-lock. I have also seen a golf that uses a gear linkeage that can shift either front only or front and rear simultaniously, but that must have been very complicated! Keep up the great work!

it takes 5 secs to pop off the rear gearbox linkages and leave it in neutral , but we're going to make a system that will allow to disconnect the rear engine from the driver's seat, later. this means that clutch and gears rotate causing a bit of drag, but it doesn't matter as the performance is not in mind when using just the front engine . however, you may have seen that we'd made a lock-off system for the rear clutch as well, just not installed it yet. thanks.
