Last June I was finally able to make my first trip down to chicago for Hot Import Nights. After a long wait in line we finally got in. I took my first lap around the floor and I was amazed. So many nice cars, and so much time and money put into them. Every car seemed to have something special to it; something that set it apart from the rest. We began making our way over to the stage for a product toss, but were soon sidetracked. In the middle of the floor sat a red 91 civic hatch, looking stock as ever. I immediately noticed how clean and original the hatch looked, but i began wondering why it was here? What was so special about this stock hatchback? So i walked up to it and took a good look at it, engine bay first of course, only to find a bone stock dpfi d15b2 motor. I was confused. Why the hell was this car here?? As I sat there...confused as ever, I overheard the owner of the car saying, " Actually the handling is great...50/50 weight distribution." That got my attention. I went to the back of the car and looked in the window....there it was, ANOTHER D15 motor. A 2 engine, all-wheel drive hatchback. I was amazed. Somehow he connected the 2 shift linkages so both trannys shifted together. The car had to be quick. Each dx motor put out 92 ponies on each end of the car. Just imagine if he did an mpfi swap, or a d15b vtec swap. Insane. This guy is my hero.

 

nice , any pics???

 

good idea, but why put 2 dpfi engine in one car why not ATLEAST upgrade to a mpfi.

theres a hatch on here that had a NSX motor in the back. only ran a 13

 

hmm sounds kindof weird, what if one engine isnt running up to performance or one throttle cable is longer adjusted or something. Wouldnt that effect it weirdly. Like one engine would do more pulling or pushing while the other one is drug or pushed forward??

 

I think it would be sweet if it worked good....dont know what gearing what? I dont think I would use d15's though

 

seen this done to a vw scirocco, i know its not an ef or crx, but with this much work its really no different. it can be found at http://durocco.com/ make sure you check it out. the hardest part i've heard is the cooling system, cause theres nowhere to put a radiator in back. adjusting the cables (especially the clutch, every one's different) would be hard, but no harder than adjusting dual carbs, and people do that

 

Yeah, im not exactly sure how he did it all, but he said it was pretty efficient. Im not sure why he used 2 dx motors. Maybe he was short on cash and those motors are a dime a dozen.Who knows.

Maybe because he knew that it was completely impractical and having some big B motor or whatever would just pour more money into an oddball project.

true
and also, maybe he figured if he was gonna be burning TWICE AS MUCH GAS, it should be 2 fuel efficient engines to save him some $$.

 

good point on the gas thing, but i really doubt it was his daily driver

it wouldnt affect it that much because a AWD car like a talon has like 60/40 traction or something.
