Subject: performance (from the borla/flowmaster guy)
basically i was wondering, are better camshafts, headers, spark plugs,
alternators, and fuel systems available for the delorean?? and im just
assuming that new cams, headers, plugs, etc would cost less (all of them
together) than any new engine or the island TT system from turbo manifolds
inc (5,200)
ALSO who is coming up with those NOS (new old stock) engines i have heard
about? and does anyone have the specs (0-60, HP, torque, etc) and price
for
them?
thanks a bunch, really sorry to have to clutter the list
greg

Subject: Re: Borla/Flowmaster Exaust systems
only one question... WHY?
at that whopping 130 hp the stock exhaust is perfect... for that matter, I
would dare to bet that completely opening the exhaust system wouldn't net
another 5 hp... and in all likelyness, it may cost HP.

Subject: Heater Control Valve
Hey Group:
New problem. The vacuum activated switching mechanism which allows the
coolant to flow into the heater core on my car is stuck in the 80% open
range. Question: Is there a replacement I can pick up locally and get
thing back together within a day? Any help with a cross-over part number
is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian #16584

Been There Done That.....
Yes, in order to get the motor out you have to remove the bracket & to
get the bracket it is easier to remove the radiator too. Unless you
happen to be a contortionist with triple jointed wrists and very small
hands.
Good Luck!

That may not be your only problem. I got a S.S. bracket for around $38.
then
found the nuts badly rusted on the fascia when I went to install it.
First
one, the head snapped off. Second one spins. Third, I didn't bother.
Your
car is from the northeast like mine (in NJ) so you may have the same
problem.
What did I do? HA! Nothing! I took it through inspection with one
plate.
The other plate visible inside, on the parcel shelf, still in the bag.
They
told me that was ok. A local cop who is a friend told me the same thing.
So
far, so good. (3 months) And my little town is teeming with police cars.
Especially at 3 a.m. when I'm frequently going home from work. I'm glad I
have an "excuse" not to have it on there... looks better off. Our course,
you might not be so lucky. I might not always be either, which is why I'm
not parting with my unused bracket!

Subject: Re: Fuel filter
The "rubber" is just a covering for the pressure carrying plastic tube.
It can crack & fall off without affecting the pressure characteristics
of the plastic tube. The rubber is there to provide protection for the
plastic. It's just not a good idea to let the hoses deteriorate to that
point.

Aaron,
If the engine dies when the doors are locked you have a bad main ground.
To
prevent the door lock solenoids from burning out, possibly locking you in
or
out of the car, disconnect the door lock module.

Subject: Re: Rear tire torque spec.
First of all be sure to instruct the tire facility not to use an air gun
to
tighten the lug nuts. All the lug nuts, both front and rear, should be
torqued
to 60 foot pounds.
For the best performance and maximum thread wear you should try to seek
out
a tire facility that can do an "on the car" spin balance.

Mike,
Dump a can of Bars stop leak in your cooling system, that should keep your
pump leak for a while.
