[DML] Re: RV: Need Tech Info.



There is a lot of information in the archives on Turbos.

The "official" turbo delorean was built by Legend Industries. The car
never made it to production, but there are a few prototype cars still
around. They are usually expensive.

There are a number of turbo kits for add on to the PRV6. I have the
Island twin turbo kit, which is a twin turbo setup.

Most of the turbo kit's are limited to 6lbs to avoid ring damage to the
engine. The spec's of the Island drop the 0-60 time from 10 seconds to
7 seconds.

Most of the delorean service centers have their favorite turbo kit to
install. Most of the kits I have seen are single turbo. I have never
rode in one, but I am told that the performance of twin VS single is
about the same. The single turbo is obviously cheaper.

I recently spoke to Don at Delorean Motor Center, and it sounds like he
is currently working on modern improvements to his turbo setup.

I have heard of no major brake improvements to the DMC. One of the list
members sells braided brake lines, and others have tried drilled
rotors. I am not an advocate of drilled rotors, but I do have the set
of the brake lines. It was a minor improvement I would recommend to
anyone who has 18 year old rubber lines.
