One quick way, I would think, to improve horse power on the spot would be to remove the stock air intake and replace it with something that allows it to breathe. The stock filter casing chokes the car. Take that plastic contraption off, and I'll bet you will see some improvement. The only problem is the small space between the top of the engine and the engine cover, which doesn't allow for much room for an aftermarket filter casing. I was thinking about cutting a hole through the engine cover, however, that adds the problem of water possibly getting into the intake. That is just one idea. I am currently looking at several alternatives. Ideas? Thanks!

Actually its not crappy, its a great car, nad should be brought back to the US.. but that is another rant not necessary for this message. Just when i was about to correct you on your Inline Engine Theory, somone else jumped in for me.. But its ok.. Actually the Twin Turbo V6 for the 300zx is extremly reliable. and powerful.. 300hp stock with that engine. and as you all know it is easily upgradable to much much more!!!! Now in regards to just upgrading the current PRV, The first thing you need to do is let that engine breathe! Are there any performace upgrades for the Exhast and Intakes? Does K&N make a upgraded air filter? And what about reprogramming that ECU? that would definetly step up the power of this "potential engine". Thrid, in regards to the Rotary Conversion. I dont think it should really be called a conversion, since a Wankel is what Delorean wanted in there in the first place. Blam it on OPEC that we dont have one.. (well i dont have a D yet.. but i want one sooo soo soo bad) in there.. If we seriously consider a Rotary conversion, i think it would be an excellent idea.. Sorta finishing what Delorean Started.. sorta deal.. hum... plus the power levels would be extremly nice.. and fresh for upgrading.. The reason for this thread is that, we need more power plain and simple. The bodystyle of the car is again "new" if you consider the current trends in the market.. look at all this "New Edge" crap on cars, and not all of it looks good.. (except for the Honda S2000, which looks badass). with the added power to the cars, we spank anyone who thinks twice about D's! Vik Saini 1991 300zx Slicktop Sadly No Delorean Yet..
