Re: [DML] Delorean Engine Upgrades... lets think for a minute

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

Legend was more than just some turbos slapped on to a stock DMC motor. Just
about EVERYTHING was changed except for the block itself (so I was told by a
former Legend employee). There is just no way you can get 300HP out of
components that were designed for under 200HP.

It has been accepted by all of the vendors who sell or install Turbos for the
DMC that 6PSI is the most you can get without breaking things in the engine. 
The estimated HP is around 190 with the turbos @ 6PSI. Considering that the DOC
members get 170HP just by reworking the exhaust, Turbos are a big headache (and
expense) for 20 more HP!

BTW, I have turbos on my DMC and love it.... But that does not mean there are
no better solutions!
