Re: [DML] delorean turbo question

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Marc is pretty much on target here.  However, a couple
of comments may put a slightly different perspective
on this subject.

Rings:  Total Seal has rings for the D.  They have
them in "regular" and "forged" (for forced induction
engines).  With these rings you have almost zero
blow-by.  I have not installed them, but on the next
significant engine work I probably will.

Pistons:  Forged pistons in various compression ratios
are also available, per Don Steger at DeLorean Motor
Center.  He has built a "racing" PRV using forged
pistons with a 7 to 1 compression ratio to be used
with high pressure forced induction.

Fuel:  I suspect that this is what prompts Marc's
commenta about an engine management system.  More fuel
is desireable for the engine when boost is smployed. 
The articles by Joe Kuchan in the recent Gullwing
magazine address this to a point.  More could be done,
of course, but these changes are not cost prohibitive.
