I have been working quite hard of late researching into upping the HP of the stock DeLorean PRV-6. Firstly, let me tell you that for those who don't already know, I am finally bringing a DeLorean over from the US which is one of a pair. My good friend Rich is having the other and this is an Auto with the Island twin turbo on it. I personally do not rate the Island twin (if you can accept the opinion of someone with little or no experience of actually driving a DeLorean!). Running such a low boost and not intercooling it seems like an inefficient use of available resources. I have made contact with a company over here who do "one-off" engine mods and the chap I've spoken to is very confident about the PRV-6. I posted what he told me a week or two back. I would also hesitate to pay out on a PRV-6 Plus. It might be worth the money in the US, but we can do so much more on the same cash here. After all, the PRV-6 plus was developed here... The automatic tranny is not a strong one, and allegedly would not handle anything over 200hp Martin James Espey wrote: > Last I read on the twin-turbo setup from Eleanor Rogers is that is was > running about $6500, not including installation.
