this is the most bad ass thing ive ever seen great job and good luck
Turbocharged twin engine CRX build
Hello d-series, I've been lurking for a few months and now I've decided to share my project with yall.
A couple years ago I wondered if anyone had made a car with two engines so I googled it and came up with these:
turbo twin engine hyundai
and somewhere someone put two of these in a mini cooper (couldn't find the link)
Hayabusa V8 engine
and of course the car and driver crx
Car Lust: Twin-Engine Honda CRX
I've always liked the crx and the idea of giving one twice the potential hp AND AWD to keep more of it stuck to the ground is well, lets just say my hearts beating a little faster just thinking about it.
So back in May I got the chance to buy a CRX. The poor thing was pretty beat up and abused so I got it cheap and thankfully won't feel as bad about tearing it up even more.

The engine in the car was a ZC however it had thrown a rod due to lack of oil :(

Here's a bit of the interior

and then after working all night (I was way to excited to sleep) I got a good bit of trim removed

This thing was a mess, however I found tons of change in the car (it's like a rebate with out the mail-in) and a bunch of tools (allen wrenches, box end wrenches, sockets, and a screwdriver). Also found two brand new rear brake rotors, exhaust gaskets, light bulbs, fuses and other odds and ends (at least 100 air rifle pellets).

Kinda what I'm thinking for the roll cage. Lower hoop braces to connect to the front end of the rear engine bay, an X-brace to the rear strut towers and supports that go to near the rear bumper mounts. This should attach the rear drivetrain/suspension pretty solidly to the rest of the vehicle.

Not dead, no updates yet though. Waiting for more $$
I'm glad to see you do this project! I did this with a 2000 H22 prelude. I'm sure you are figuring out that fab is actually the easiest and finding time and figuring out all the "little details" like cooling, fueling, electrical and controls is the hardest keep going! It will be soooooo worth your effort! I got 400hp (stock), AWD, and get 0-60 in 4.5 sec. The feeling of both engines hitting VTEC gets my hairs to stand up every time, oh and cornering, just awesome! Keep it up!

Reading back through everything and I'm thinking I will use this kit, at least as a starting point. I will probably wait a week or two to order but I'm so excited to finally get back to this project
