Re: [DML] Porsche Motors in BTTF Deloreans



Just finished watching all the detail stuff on the BTTF DVDs. Early on in the DVDs they talked about the Delorean having a 4 cylinder which we all thought was wrong.

Well, in the third DVD they talk about the Delorean's being retrofitted with more powerful Porsche engines. This is news to me, but the sound from the engines in the movies is certainly reminiscent of Porsche exhaust systems.

Anyway, who did these conversions.? Kevin Pike certainly did not.. Jay Orvis did not. Bob Boyce was not aware of this.

It certainly was not a Porsche flat 6 (though the white wall tired Delorean may have been a Porsche/VW chassis.), Was it is a turbo 4 cylinder.? This may be probable since these were supposed to be more powerful engines than the Ds.

Well for those BTTF purists (HA! HA!), I guess we would have to put Porsche engines in our cars.

BOB
