Re: [DML] Re: Legend Turbo question

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

The odds are against you to have a reliable
Turbocharged STOCK DeLorean engine.  There are other
versions of the PRV that were produced with
Turbochargers to generate over 250HP.  This is not the
engine in your DeLorean.

Most of the people running the after market kits limit
the boost to 6Lbs.  With that, most if not all of of
those engines have problems.  With the engine running,
open up the oil filler and see if the crank case is
pressurized.  On all of the engines that I have
checked, it is.  Indicating, some internal problem in
the engine (I assume, a broken ring).  On my ISLAND
engine, the breather cap would shoot out of the valve
cover under hard acceleration.

If turbo charging the stock PRV was so easy, Legend
would not have spent so much time and money with
details down to custom head bolts!  I am sure DMC
would have benefited from an early introduction of the
DMC-12S model, but all of the additional work had to
be done to make the engine reliable..  Wanna buy one? 

YMMV, especially if you live at high altitudes in
Colorado!  :)

All of this discussion on performance is great, but
look at the price tag.  Before you spend too much
money on it, compare price VS performance for all of
your options.  I think you will find doing an engine
conversion is more economical, and when you are done
you have a modern engine with better performance,
better emissions, and easy to find parts instead of a
20+ year old design that was meant to be a V8!
