Turbo and supercharged D suffer from inadequate fuel management at higher

in many cases by over suppling fuel by shorting the computer to fuel rich. 
(Sometimes even this is inadequate). Based on my experience with Delorean 
engines, legend has to
make changes to the bosch injectors to make their setup work properly.

Has anybody out there put larger injectors in this car? I know I can easily 
do this on other cars that are hot rodded.

Bob,
IMHO, once you're resigned to improving the PRV, it seems foolish to me to 
consider keeping the K Jetronic CIS. The ease with which this engine accepts 
EFI makes me wonder why anyone going this direction would even consider 
keeping the CIS. Cost is always a consideration, but in reality, you can 
probably have EFI for less than it would cost you to replace your CIS. And 
anyway, if you've been entertaining yourself with a DeLorean, you should 
already be used to spending money. :-)

With EFI, you can pick and choose the size injector you want to run and 
simply adjust your baseline (for the PRV) fuel flow program values across the 
board to compensate for the change in flow that smaller or larger injectors 
provide. I was running Bosch 170cc EFI injectors which flowed 16 lbs of fuel 
per hour. I just replaced them with 24lb injectors, and simply ran my fuel 
flow values down by a fixed percentage across the board, started it up and 
drove away. 

I've pretty much perfected the fabrication of fuel rails for the DeLorean. 
I've built 4 sets so far. Having my own metal working lathe helps a lot. If 
anyone would like to try EFI, I'd be glad to help them out.
