What is involved with putting an rs turbo engine in the back?

When its twin engine? How do the gears work?

Cheers

 

i dont no how they do the linkage ,but the rest is easy .my engine in the back of my fezz

 

That looks mental mate!

Does anyone else have any pics of this or know how the gear linkage would be done?

 

bttt

 

the gear linkage wud probably b quite easy if u had a gearbox handy 2 look at and figure it all out

 

But it would be backwards in the back wouldn't it?

 

Weld a bar onto the selector rod and make it do U turn, run it the length of the car back and then a U turn again and there you have it.

 

thats what i thought just makes it easier when uve got a box 2 look at doesnt it

 

no wudnt b backwards wud it u wud just hav 2 bring a bar under the gearbox then make it connect up 2 the gear selector on the box,the gear selector is going 2 do the same as the 1 in the gearbox in the engine in the front just uve got 2 sort the selector out so it fits 2 the gear linkage from the lever

 

Ok, that make sense.

Cheers boys

 

Its the clutch you have to worry about

 

Hydraulic is the answer. 2 pipes, but different diameters to make work the same.

 

surely u cud make up sum brackets and a pedal 2 use a cable and an extended cable 4 the rear gearbox aswell,well thats what i wud try anyway and try get hold of an old capri or escort mk2 cable with manual adjuster on it so cud fine tune the rear clutch then

 

i dont think a cable that long would do the job ,tho i did think of that .im going on the hunt at the weekend for bits off other cars that i can use for a hydraulic clutch ,so ill post up any info i find out

 

My friend has done this conversion on his Orion using a modified ford pedal box

 

that looks spot on mate ,do you no what it was off?, you got any pics of the pedal
