RE: [DML] A little history on the Turbo Deloreans?

["Darkstar" <darkstarmedia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not re-making a legend setup but the data would let me know what works and
what doesn't. I would rather not re-create the wheel.  The internal engine
specs is part of what I am looking for.  things such as cam timing and
specs, piston changes would be most helpful.  I have a spare engine that I
want to twin turbo and intercool  and seeing what legend did would avoid the
trial and error part.  I have also been playing with the idea of computer
controlled NOS (25HP shot till the turbos spool up) and water injection.  I
have been looking for performance connecting rods and have been unable to
locate any.  I found some forged pistons for the engine.  I also have a
friend with a CNC mill and lathe so re-creating parts from engineering
drawings is easier.

As far as I know, none of these documents are public.

I did have the opportunity to look through one of
Fred's books with many photographs, and test results.
Ken and I have been trying to get with Fred to see
what else he has.  Hopes are he will display some of
this in Pigeon Forge.

It is a good bet that Fred still has most if not all
of the documentation from Legend.

My suspicion is you are asking this question for the
possibility of making your own "legend"??  Understand,
this was NOT a bolt-on kit.  Just about EVERY part
inside the engine was changed, many of them were
custom made.  Even the head bolts were special.

Unfortunately, It is not cost effective to try and
re-create what was done with the Legend engine.

If you want one, well...  everything has a price.
