Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Greetings everyone, I have been trying to find out which Renault gearbox was fitted to the Delorean. I know that the R-1 albiet reversed roatation is fitted to the latest 300+bhp twin-turbo V8 Lotus Espirit the DMC-12's only living relation. By the way Lotus would want £10000 ($15000) for the complete engine as it should fit straight into the DMC-12 they are almost twins. I have heard that an R-30 is fitted to the DMC-12 and would like to know that if this is the case then what are its horsepower/torque limits? You are probably thinking, why not ask Renault? Well I tried them but they do not know anything about there OWN transmissions! So here I am, is there anyone on the list who has the knowledge to deconfuse me? regards Christopher M.

The bad news is that the Esprit drivetrain (besides being really expensive) is set up for mid-engine; the transmission won't work. As with all V8 conversions, take measurements first; it may not fit. As with all turbo conversions, figure out something to do with the intercoolers (doesn't Lotus use ram-scoops to supply the IC's?) If the bolt pattern is the same that will improve matters tremendously. Does anyone know if any other current engines share that bolt pattern? > I have heard that an R-30 is fitted to the DMC-12 and would like to know= =20 > that if this is the case then what are its horsepower/torque limits? Nobody really knows. Conventional wisdom is about 300ft.lbs for the 5-speed and about 200 for the auto. I don't think anyone's ever built a DeLorean with more than 300HP, so "here there be dragons." ------------------------------ message 2197 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2197 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "Dave Swingle" Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 12:20:07 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: The R-30 or R-1 that is the question???

It uses a DeLorean manual transmission with a custom-made bellhousing welded up from the original and a Buick part. This car does tend to eat transmissions, though. When I was there a few months ago the trans was in pieces. >William T Wilson wrote: >Nobody really knows. Conventional wisdom is about 300ft.lbs for the >5-speed and about 200 for the auto.

The parts for air bags WERE available and were mass produced starting in 1974. I have three airbag cars from the 70s and they are better air bags than in cars today.

It has nothing to do with the A/C clutch. When the cooling fans that sit behind the radiator cycle on and off, the cooling fan fail light will illuminate for a few seconds. If it stays on continually, you have a problem and need to watch your temperature gauge very carefully.

The normal operation of this cooling fan control device is to turn on the Fan Fail lamp for 1 second whenever the cooling fans begin operation. When any of the three AC settings are selected the fans will turn on whenever the compressor cycles. This normally takes place about every 7 to 10 seconds. Therefor the answer to your question is that it is normal for the Fan Fail light to flash intermittently whenever the AC is switched on. If the lamp flashes with the AC switched off you have another problem that may be related to what follows: Remove the electrical compartment cover located behind the passenger seat under the parcel shelf carpet and check to see if you have a "blue" module among the other modules. It is located closest to the passenger side of the car. If its there, you need to get rid of it !!! This item is responsible for stranding many DeLorean owners causing the engine to overheat and sometimes, in extreme cases, causing permanent engine damage. You can do a temporary fix with a by-pass link kit or better yet purchase the Fanzilla. An inoperative window requires the replacement of the factory unit with a very high quality replacement available from DeLorean Part suppliers. If you need more details feel free to contact us directly.

If anyone from the list is interested in a copy, let me know (I will e-mail you a smaller copy) and I can get copies made (I think about $33 to print on an HP Plotter) and will sell for that + shipping. I also have another one (same size) that I don't even want to start trying to explain (e-mail for details). Let me know.

I heard a noisey "clunking" c= oming = from the front of my D when I hit big bumps. Well, it seems that the shock = decided that it didn't want to be attatched to the top part of the suspensi= on = anymore, where it's supposed to be. I noiced that the other side had some s= ort = of bushing with a curved washer holding it in place. My question is, how bi= g of = a problem do I have here? Is that washer thing attatched to the suspension?= Or = is it just held in place by the shock? Do I need to replace my shock, or ca= n I = just replace the curved washer and a new rubber bushing? How bad actually i= s = this? Help please?

We highly recommend the Fanzilla which vastly improves the operation and reliability of the cooling fan circuit. Installation of this high tech unit also re activates the "fan fail" warning lamp.
