I have no idea.
If you bought an NSX they normally come with an engine.
Just a thought.
But maybe you thought the modified version from Esprit I posted was twin engined? I don't know what you thought, but what they did was they took the engine in the NSX out. Strapped a couple of turbos on it. Changed the transmission from one like you have in a civic or accord (it spins parallel to the crankshaft) into one like a corvette (spins in line with the crankshaft). In order to get the power to the ground that necessitates rotating the engine about 90 degrees from how it is normally mounted in the car. In both cases the engine is behind the driver and in front of the rear wheels. Just the way it is positioned is slightly different.
The in line transmission layout they say is better because sequential transmissions are easier to get that way, and they say the weight balance is a little better. I have to imagine the center of gravity is a little lower too.
All of the information you are looking for is available already. You don't have to ask us for it. Just typing into google will usually net you a few good answers just on the first page of results. Also Wikipedia is a massive compendium of information. All of the answers I have given were cross referenced (I wanted to be sure I was giving correct information) with wikipedia and its various sources.
What IIVVX is talking about is probably how you posted in response to yourself. Next time don't do that. Instead, proof read yourself and make sure you say everything you are wanting to put down. If all else fails use the edit button.
