A few years ago I decided to build a car. I bought a 1:18 Scale model of a Porsche 917/10 Can Am car and started pulling measurements of it. I has C6 Corvette suspension, two (2) Subaru Tribeca 6 cylinder engines bolted together at the crank shaft and the Sport shift auto/manual transmission. I have the front engine set at TDC on cylinder one and the rear engine set on TDC for cylinder 6. I have the injector and coil wires spliced so both cylinders will fire at the same time.
You can see my videos on YouTube at "Porsche 917/10 Replica, 2, 3, 4" and you can here a real 917/10 start at "Revving up the engine of a 917-10".
I have an OEM wiring harness with the ECU and TCU. The ECU will read all the front engine sensors but will feed back instructions to both engines. I have already spliced the harness to the engine harnesses. I have wired the starter, fuel pump and all the gages directly to the custom dash.
I know I am going to need "Open Source" which is Greek to me, one who has trouble changing flashlight batteries. What I really need is one or more Volunteer helpers to come to my garage in East Hartford, Ct. to advise me on wiring requirements and to troubleshoot this plan. I can do the physical work, I just need technical direction. Common sense tells me this can be done. Security can be defeated. Key codes can be bypassed.
I've recently heard that the OEM wiring system will not work outside of the Tribeca as too many sensors will be disconnected which will render the ECU inoperable. I would love to hear other comments on this.
For you tuners, just think of the challenge and notoriety you would get out of being the one who could get this car running. Your company name on the car and exposed in magazines and on the internet. I'll do all the physical work I can. It's the guidance I need most.
If someone can explain how to download photos on this site, I'd be happy to post some.
