RE: [doc] French Car

["Kevin Milliken" <kevin.milliken@xxxx>]

Hi Chris

Couple of questions and thoughts,

The firing sequence on the volvo engine is uneven as it seems they are
grouped in twos. Therefore the way is to use a bi-turbo setup with a
seperate inlet and carburation system per bank. As it looks as though from
memory that each bank fires alternately, this would then provide an even
boost pressure.

When turbos are factory produced (not Deloreans) the compression is lower
than a conventionally aspirated engine, to take into account the boost
pressure. Are the deloreans which have a turbo fitted running different
pistons and con rods? to decrease the compression or is the boost pressure
set lower to stop the engine meeting its maker?

The alternative could be to just to fit NOS, apparently this will produce
from 50 bhp upwards depending on jets.

Let me know you comments when you have minute, keep cleaning the Paris car.

Regards

Kevin #5959

Martin/ List,
I've been looking at my turbo, its obviously never had much use, it has a
lot of fancy alloy pipe work and must have cost a bomb when new. Its
rather
well fitted .I certainly wont be "giving it away" and may well leave it
on if it works.
I don't think a Calibra one would fit, so its not really relevant.

Hi Chris

Is this deinitely a BAE turbo kit like on Tony Lawther's car. Only that
and the Island kits are worth anything - they are the only
DeLorean-specific kits made. Suggest Ebay. If you have a chat with God,
he will tell you that removing the turbo is a very very very good idea....

Need any engine work?
