5 GT Turbo Sleeper Renault 5 project

[ashgtturbo2005]

I have been keeping a campus shell stored for years to build a sleeper. It's now time to start the built.
Basically I am using what I learned from building my last twiin engined R5 to build a better one. The goal is to I'm install two turboed F4R engines with lots of cooling, good suspension and a very safe cage.
I took the car out of the storage last week and it had years of dust on but still looked pretty good. I was finding it hard to take the car apart as it was such a great car in immaculate condition but it's in bits now. Btw I have a perfect interior if anyone needs it.
The rear end will be double wishboned suspension with inboard shocks.
It's going to bit of a leaning curve to get the F4Rs working properly. I don't know how doable it is to retain the fly by wire but I really would love to have go at making it work.

I have been planning this for years but the V8 R5 kept me too busy. I hope this will be much easier and faster to build.

The next-gen Adaptronic ECU is modular and one of the additional modules is an FBW driver. You would need an ECU & FBW driver per engine but you would be able to drive both throttle inputs from one pedal unit I think.

Thanks Dave, that's would be great help. I will look into this.

why is there something in the back of my mind thats saying you can't have 2 engines in a road going car?

 

[ashgtturbo2005]

I had two twin engined cars on the road for years, fully taxed, MOTed and insured with every modification declared.

I have used this on some of the standalone conversions on the vx220's with scoff and worked really well

In theory you could drive to tb off the same pedal but would bounce that Q off the mighty scoff at efi spares

Some progress on rear double wishbone subframe

Holy cow, you are absolutely not fucking about at all here, are you?!

Nothing like just cracking on with it is there ?? haha

Nice, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
