Re: [DML] Porsche Motors in BTTF Deloreans

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxx>]

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.
