Hi, I installed Splunk Enteprise and am running it locally, for testing purposes i would like to create two Indexers (both locally). Is it possible to achieve this, if so how ?

not sure why would you like to do so.
there are some answers here about installing 2 forwarders on the same host
heres an example:

i cant find the latest one which i think was very detailed but i am positive you can find it.
again, what is your test about?
hope it helps

I am writing a load balancer for writing to Indexers and so want to set up indexers locally to test it. Aren't Indexers different from forwarders ?
