Anyone seen Pug1Off's silly cars.

306 with TWO 24v 3.0 V6 engines, each delivering about 250bhp.

They also have a 205 with a 250bhp V6 in the front.

Have a look here:

My fav engine swap car has to be "GPower"'s M3 csl with a supercharged version of the M5's V10.

Check it out: http://www.g-power.de/

In fantasy land id like an audi A4 with a new RS6 engine and DTM bodykit.

Those pug1off conversions are mental. Thats so much pwoer - i'm a bit worried that the engine conversions don't include brake upgrades!

Thanks for hte G-power link - they have done a nice job with that conversion.

An engine swap is actually in the pipeline for me. I can't afford to tune the A series so I'm gonna wack a K series 1.8 VVC in her, hopefully use the PG1 'box if I can get it to fit. Get it out of a derv then I not only have the power but the gear ratio's too. One guy said he's getting between 50-60 mpg in a similar setup which running close to 250 hp/ton. Now that will be fun. Next year hopefully.

Just have to design and build the subframe

What car are you driving?!?!?!? An old fiat 500? There is a guy who has done a front wheel drive V8 conversion in a classic mini. If you can fit one in a mini, you can fit one in any car...

Pug1Off's own cars are well set up with brake upgrades to match the power on offer. Whether all customer cars are is another question, although I don't envisage Matt allowing a vehicle out of the workshop that is dangerous to use.

Honestly though - TWO engines in a 306? That's gotta be quite something.

The Mini V8 has captured my imagination. How cool is that?

If I had 2 engines I'd have an economical one on the front wheels for round town and a massive power one in the back for the weekends

I know I go on about mini's, but I love them. You think 2 engines in a 306 is mad, there are a fair few people who have twin engined mini's. My fave one is someone who put twin Hayabusa 1400 engines in a mini. Think they were 1400 anyway. 240hp, through each axle. Be afraid.... especially since it made it about 500 hp/ton
