[DML] Re: Engine Coversions and Forgotten Sports Cars

["David Jacobs (NEC)" <v-davidj@xxxx>]

One quick way, I would think, to improve horse power on the spot would be to
remove the stock air intake
and replace it with something that allows it to breathe. The stock filter
casing chokes the car. Take that 
plastic contraption off, and I'll bet you will see some improvement.

The only problem is the small space between the top of the engine and the
engine cover, which doesn't
allow for much room for an aftermarket filter casing. I was thinking about
cutting a hole through the engine 
cover, however, that adds the problem of water possibly getting into the
intake. That is just one idea. 
I am currently looking at several alternatives.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Dave

ohh ohhh The comments regarding my crappy 300zx are soo wrong.. Actually its

not crappy, its a great car, nad should be brought back to the US.. but that

is another rant not necessary for this message. Just when i was about to 
correct you on your Inline Engine Theory, somone else jumped in for me.. But

its ok.. Actually the Twin Turbo V6 for the 300zx is extremly reliable. and 
powerful.. 300hp stock with that engine. and as you all know it is easily 
upgradable to much much more!!!!

Now in regards to just upgrading the current PRV, The first thing you need
to 
do is let that engine breathe! Are there any performace upgrades for the 
Exhast and Intakes? Does K&N make a upgraded air filter? And what about 
reprogramming that ECU? that would definetly step up the power of this 
"potential engine".

Thrid, in regards to the Rotary Conversion. I dont think it should really
be 
called a conversion, since a Wankel is what Delorean wanted in there in the 
first place. Blam it on OPEC that we dont have one.. (well i dont have a D 
yet.. but i want one sooo soo soo bad) in there.. If we seriously consider a

Rotary conversion, i think it would be an excellent idea.. Sorta finishing 
what Delorean Started.. sorta deal.. hum... plus the power levels would be 
extremly nice.. and fresh for upgrading..

The reason for this thread is that, we need more power plain and simple.
The 
bodystyle of the car is again "new" if you consider the current trends in
the 
market.. look at all this "New Edge" crap on cars, and not all of it looks 
good.. (except for the Honda S2000, which looks badass). with the added 
power to the cars, we spank anyone who thinks twice about D's!
