Based on the information provided to me, you can do it yourself for MUCH less than $6k...try $2,000 to $2,500 if you don't cut any corners. The secret is to buy the parts in Canada, UK or Germany. The cars and parts are very inexpensive there. You just need to establish contact with the Renault Alpine Owners Association. I can put you in contact with a German Renault Alpine Club member & parts supplier. (When I was in Germany, the Alpine members were laughing at the DeLoreans performance when it has the same PRV as their Alpine's.) It can be done and the car has more HP than the CIS method. You have some minor mod's to make with the DeLorean fuel supply, however it is bolt on-bolt off method and can be restored to original configuration. Mike
