Re: [DML] 4 speed automatic DeLorean

[Louie G <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, there's a lot I've missed out on apparently. So this is a Porsche unit? Why does having a computer controller make this suddenly compatible with the DeLorean when the hydraulic version wasn't? What are the benefits of doing this conversion? What kind of HP and torque can this tranny handle? I know Jim Strickland chose a particular Porsche tranny for his rotary conversion because it DIDN'T have the complexity of a computer... what are the benefits of having one?

I'd like to do a tranny and engine swap on my car in a few years, so the more you can tell us about this the better :-). Isn't there a company now that has tranny adaptors for porsche transmissions to couple with small block chevy engines? This seems like the way to go right now with updating the cars. Not quite plug and play, but as close as you can get to it.

GOOD NEW DELOREAN FANS, TCI IS NOW SELLING A PLUG IN CONTROLLER 
FOR THE ZF 4HP22 E  TRANSMISSION.    THIS NOW ALLOWS BOTH THE 4 HP 22 
HL AND THE 4 HP 22E TRANSMISSIONS TO BE USED IN THE D. THE COMPUTER IS $1200.  SO THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONVERSION WILL COST AT LEAST $1200 MORE THAN THE HYDRALLIC. JUST NEED TO GET THOSE CUSTOM BELLHOUSINGS MADE.
