my new possable project

its not the same car in the pic, but i found a delorean not far from me that im gonna try to get next week, what do you guys think of a HMT kit on a delorean :6

i looked up the motor specs and it says it has 8.8:1 compression on a light alloy V-6 block, so im assumeing aluminum? how much boost do you guys think would be safe? i got a buddy who can get me custom pistons and rods for almost anything for about $700 so i can build it if need be but wanna stay away from that for a while since its expensive as the damn 03 SVT i was looking at

and how would you suggest to route intercooler pipes with the motor bein in the rear? :S

Re: my new possable project
 

Screw the turbo, go with a FLUX CAPACITOR!!! ;D

Re: my new possable project
 

As cool as the Delorean is, its the worst mechanically designed car in history. You'll have a hard enough time keeping it running even without a turbo

Re: my new possable project
 

how so? im researching it tonight but if you can save me the time of doing so then by all means lay it out for me before i buy

had some friends back in oregon that had one and it was there DD and didnt seem to have any problems with it

Re: my new possable project
 

The car was designed to smuggle coke into the US

Re: my new possable project
 

:l ... i've been reading tons of reviews and find very little wrong with it, some problems with the auto trannys, speedo gear going out, and thats pretty much it, seems like it has the same ammount of problems any 20+ year old car would

I think you should first invest your free time into some spelling classes. Learn to speak Engrish.

Re: my new possable project
 

go shove an "engrish" book up your ass, my spelling is fine. the way i structured what i said may have made it sound pretty gay but i dont really care

Re: my new possable project
 

Your right it's "possAble"

Re: my new possable project
 

oh my ------- god i misspelled one ------- word, what is the world comeing to ::) prick

unless you have any info in regards to my question, then i'll have to politely suggest you go ---- yourself

Re: my new possable project
 

there is a guy over on probetalk.com that is doing a turbo delorean, it has a single T70 on it and is using megasquirt for engine management.

Re: my new possable project
 

------ Hilarious


I saw that on the history channel.

Re: my new possable project
 

thank you for the info, i'll go check it out

Re: my new possable project
 

ive heard they were pretty decently designed, lotus helped with the chassis and they seem to be pretty trouble free. They use some pretty generic peugeot-renault-volvo motor that is weaksauce but a turbo project would be sweet on one.

Re: my new possable project
 

I agree with whitey.Ive never heard anything good about those cars.

Good luck.better start stocking up on the brillo pads and mothers polish.

Re: my new possable project
 

i was at work one day and me and my boy saw one drive by. he's like they're made of stainless steel. i'm like, but how do they not rust? he just looked at me funny. thought about it for about 2 seconds and felt like a total -------

Re: my new possable project
 

i have yet to hear anything bad except that they accelerate a little slow and your twos opinions on them, i did read a few reviews that said that brillo pads and metal polish would be a must constantly from finger prints and small knicks but thats no big deal to me, i wash my car every week or two max anyway

thats one thing that i liked finding out is that lotus helped with the chassis and suspension, and the volvo motor as long as it doesnt grenade too quickly isnt much of a big deal as long as it responds to the boost well enough

i read alot of people are swapping in V-8's but i'd rather keep the stock motor in it for as long as i can

haha priceless, i've heard theres a small problem with the undercoat cracking and rusting the frame but that shouldnt be too hard to have redone if it needs to be

Re: my new possable project
 

i love back to the future...and i wouldnt ever buy one of those cars because i think they are hideous. if it cant travel through time its useless to me. Buy the 03 cobra, run 10s with bolt ons and call it a day

Re: my new possable project
 

i like the look of them, and i'd buy the cobra, but everyone around here has a damn mustang and i want something diffrent

wouldnt be another delorean within a 300 mile radius of me, i like the idea of that :y

plus i prefer turbo to a supercharger and would rather make it run 10s myself then just buy a couple parts and be there :6 probably never run 10s in it but still, i like doing my own work to get there

Re: my new possable project
 

why would you take a delorian over an 03 cobra? ---- a delorian.

Re: my new possable project
 

thats why basicly, everyone around me has ------- mustangs and camaros and crap and i dont want something i can see going down the street 50 times a day on my way to work

Re: my new possable project
 

---- you dont need a turbo. All you need to hit is 88mph and then the ---- hits the fan. You can do that just NA. Can you get me a hoverboard for me if you get the Delorian. I got $$ in paypal just waiting for it. 8) Have you checked on just normal maint. parts and the availability of them or the price? Even though I think their cool it's not something I'd ever think of having as a project car or any car. Too weird for me.

Re: my new possable project
 

umm... you do know that the dmc company is still around and is making drop in twin turbo engines for the cars right? also proper suspention to make it right properly.

Re: my new possable project
 

links?

Re: my new possable project
 

i've done some research over the weekend and so far it doesnt look like reg maintinence parts are going to be too hard to get or overly expensive either

Re: my new possable project

READ MORE. oops caps lock.

Re: my new possable project
 

i've been looking through that and dont see any twin turbo motors to drop in, i see a stage 2 upgrade to 190HP and a stage 3 thats under development..

Re: my new possable project
 

Delorean's are freaking sweet. The only one I've seen in real life sounded like ass though, sounded like the exhaust was screwed up :|

I'd say go for the 03 Cobra though man.

Re: my new possable project
 

like said above i had a couple of friends that had one (lesbians :6) and theres ------ purred, they had some motor and exhaust work done though so it sounded pretty good, i never got to ride in it though :(

i was standing 3 feet behind it and i could feel the vibration from the exhaust in my chest ;D

Re: my new possable project
 

for real! you must be smokin rawr's avitar. how much is this bucket anyway

Re: my new possable project
 

i wasnt saying that its from that particular company. but it seems that some people from the factory decided to make a single and twin turbo drop in before the company went under i was reading about how someguy n rx7 club found out that his grand fathers dm,c was twin turboed from the factory :P

Re: my new possable project
 

well with only 20K original miles it's a bit pricey, but i like it for the fact that i'll never see another one anywhere near me unless i go way the hell out of my way to find one

got ya.. i'd rather just build a turbo setup for it then do a motor swap anyway though, easier in the long run i'd think, wouldnt have to source out the motor and crap which would probably take forever

Re: my new possable project
 

go drive that cobra, then go drive that old ass delorian. you'll see why your on the rocks.

Re: my new possable project
 

i've driven a cobra before, my step dad owns one and loaned it to me for a weekend, thats the only reason i even thought about buying one

i know the diffrence between them and wouldnt mind the cobra but am probably gonna go with the delorean for the simple fact i stated above, plus i want a new turbo project

Re: my new possable project
 

Why don't you buy the Cobra and buy an old Civic hatch to turbo :)

Re: my new possable project
 

its going to be more than a project. were talking about a 30 year old car, with a company that doesn't even exist anymore and parts that would be hard to find and expensive as hell. vs a car thats 3 years old, and is fast as balls with a pully change.

plus you wont here
"hows that thing pull when you hit 88mph" everyday.

Re: my new possable project
 

i've had a 30+ year old car turbo charged on the stock motor although it was built, and managed to find parts for that all over by takeing the time to look

i've looked and parts arent that expensive and are still available, i just dont want a car i can see 50 times a day on my way to work

i've got an old civic hatch thats turbo'd, it needs to die before i kill it >:(

Re: my new possable project
 

Ugread. 8)

Re: my new possable project
 

you can share his book :y

Re: my new possable project
 

a 30 year old what? was it a delorean?

You might as well buy a vw Scirocco. it puts out more power and its designed by the same guy giorgetto giugiaro of ital design studios.
