Twin engine R5 with F4R engines

[Ashkan]

Hi all, Im a new member. I have a Renault 5 & Clio 172.
Im currently building a Twin Engine R5 with two F4R engines.

 

[White16valver]

I predict this will be epic.

 

[Clio_fool]

That looks fun. How'd you land on that as a hobby? Knitting too tricky?

 

[Ashkan]

I built a twin engine Renault 5 before and really loved it so had to build another. This one used to be Twin Engine but not it's only have single engine in the back (4.2L Audi V8 with 6 speed box and Jag supercharger)

holy fuckin hell

Welcome along ash. Nice to see the project is getting closer to completion.

Is this the low mileage campus shell you had tucked away?

 

[Vicky.]

That's mental, can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks, yes that's the one. It's very close to completion but I need to complete the wireing the engines to get it running. Something that I haven't done before. I am using ME221 ECUs and need to figure out how the get it done.

Is there anyone who has used ME221 for engine conversion. Would appreciate a hand if anyone has done something similar.

You've come to the right place! But in order for us to help you, you must first acknowledge that you have a problem..

Thanks,
Don't have a problem, everything on the car is problem solving and one by one ticking things off. The ECU is only one of the things on the list and it will be sorted.

Ah yes I remember seeing that Audi powered one before. I fekkin love 5's, mad cap engineering and mental conversions. You sir have my respect ?

Please tell me you're going to keep the Campus badges #ultimateSleeper ?

Oh yes, definitely all badges and sticker are staying. I don't even want to use new wheels. Externally totally stock apart from the bonnet need to have a small bulge to accommodate the front engine.
I'm keeping the stock bonnet safe and in future build an inlet manifold to get it all under the stock bonnet.

Brilliant lunacy. My mate has a half built, Evo engined, Cosworth 4x4 drivetrained Renault 5, if he ever finishes it it'll be unreal. Maybe he should bring it to you to finish for him lol

I'm running an me221. Pm me for details as I barely come onto threads.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

welcome along mate, nice work on those 2 R5's ?

 

[Leslie Graham]

Like this a lot bud, love twin engine projects.
You going to be running 4wd?

Yes it's going to be running 4wd

Ever consider a project with twin bike engines?
Check out Autograss Class 7, unreal acceleration

Yes twin bike engined cars are amazing maybe a thought for future.
I like the grip of the twin engined cars . Twin bike engined cars are rwd and they might be a bit too handful for my driving ability.

They're bonkers bud, has to be next project. Twin suoerbike power in a stripped out track monster. You've obviously got the fabrication skills, get at it!
Take a look at Autograss set ups for inspiration. YouTube 'Autograss class 7'.

I have done a lot of homework on twin bike engined group 7 cars. I agree they are amazing.

Most threads with titles like this start with “hi, my mum just gave me her 1.2 and I was wondering how difficult it would be to find a written off veyron to put the drivetrain into my clio”

That’s bananas. Kudos to you!

If you're having niggles Chris sorted Adam's twin Corsa out without much issue.

Or if you're on idiotbook have a look at adam beards twin engined Corsa, running just about 1,000bhp.

I have to say I really like this. Loving the rear suspension setup. The details are ultimately what makes this impossible to replicate.
What rear hubs did you go for in the end? I went for Lotus ones for my car before getting some custom ones made.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

That's ridiculous. I love it.

 

[Darren S]

So pointless - that's its actually brilliant.

Great work!

I am using Renault 5 GT Turbo front hubs for rear hubs. My other rwd R5 has the same setup and works fine

so full of win man, you need to leave it in the full campus looking shell too for s***s and giggles.

 

[The Beardo]

What Adey said, fit 15” Scénic steel wheels and get that true street sleeper look!
