205 Mi32 - 2x Mi16

[DJPreZes]

first a little bit of background - the car started life as a 1987 205 1.6 GTI ;] No i masz odpowiedz Para ;]

[cybernck]

ok, added you to my msn now!


as it says in the intro post on my forum, the car is from 1987.

the XS engine bay is from... 1989 or 1990 i think .


not sure about the colour yet... still debating.

however it won't be black for sure (i'm sick of black, my other 205 GTI is black too).

maybe pure white with some graphics (rally style)... or red... or blue?

Phase 2: Rear Engine Installation


after transporting the car to another workshop, it was time to get our Mi16 engine out of
the garage to put it where it belongs and matters the most - in the back of the 205 Mi32 .



you can find the complete story (with 46 pics) on THIS PAGE.

it covers another 3 weeks of work - much longer than we had planned, but it wasn't our fault...


thanks.

[cybernck]

ah bugger, just figured out i'd forgotten to upload an important pic:



the clutch plate .

respect....

cybernck, are you Jesse James from Monster Garage?
keep up the good work!

ad 1. Problemem jest dobre pospawanie tego, ale to juz ich dzialka, zeby to poprawnei zrobic. Geometrie da sie ustawic -przeciez sa drazki kierowcznicze, mozna dac krotsze/dluzsze wahacze itp...

ad 2. Sterowanie biegami to naprawde nie jest wielki problem. Tylko sprzegla musza byc dobrze ustawione, zeby braly w tym samym momencie, bo inaczej bedzie smiesznie

wątpie żeby pomysleli "a wrzucimy drugi silnik do bagażnika i zamkniemy klape... będzie fajnie"...

na bank nie jest łatwą(że tak powiem) rzeczą zestrojenie dwóch silników... ale podejrzewam że są odpowiednio przygotowani na te boje

[cybernck]

time for another update .


Phase 3: Dual Controls & Brakes

this is where proper engineering (and problems!) begin and what most of you have been waiting for!


in this chapter we tackle the dual clutch and dual throttle operation unit:




as well as sort out the brakes to get a potentially usable car:




you can find the first part of the story (with 34 pics) on THIS PAGE.


thanks.

[cybernck]

sorry for the delay, caused by web-access problems.


in this update, to conclude the Phase 3 story, we make the dual-gearshift system.




you can find the 2nd/last part of the story (with 34 pics again) on THIS PAGE.


after nearly 2 weeks of engineering, hard work and a lot of sweat... Phase 3 is complete!

stayed tuned for Phase 4 of the 205 Mi32 Project!


p.s. if anyone's got an old style 205 GE-quickshift L-lever for sale, please let me know!


thanks.

[Sebek]

amazing car
it look's tasty- good job

[koval]

a ja sie tak zastanawiam gdzie bedzie zbiornik paliwa ale ja ciemny jestem w tych sprawach wiec pewnie odpowiedz jest oczywista

[cybernck]

sorry for the long delay, due to a computer crash, data loss and recovery and
system reinstallation on top of having a lot of commercial design work to do!


Phase 4: Coolant Radiator & Exhaust System

Phase 4 story is all about fitting a large customised radiator:



and constructing both front and rear engine exhaust systems:



so we could start the front engine next.


you can find the story (with 40 pics) on THIS PAGE.

this time it only took three full days of intensive work to complete the phase .


stay tuned for a short video and then Phase 5 of the 205 Mi32 Project!


thanks.

Thanks for all updates ! We watching each of them ... some ppl wonder how you will manage to adjust gearbox and suspension ...What will be the hardest part of work ??

[cybernck]

you may have seen the twin-controls already... they just need to be adjusted .

they don't have to be perfectly synchronised to run ok either.
