Engine bay photos

[Rich]

A thread where folks can share photos of original or modified DeLorean engine bays.

Example here is an early-VIN car with the OEM setup except for the later-VIN coolant hose around the A/C compressor, aftermarket coolant reservoir and R-134 fittings. The wiring loom over the intake moved to an under-intake routing in later cars.

Perhaps someone here can better explain this aftermarket intake.

Apparently someone who wanted a "hot air intake" instead of a "cold air intake". :facepalm:

This is how mine looks now...but that will change in the next few weeks as I have something very cool planned for her as soon as I get my parts in.

That looks sooo nice.

That looks sooo nice.

Seriously. That is one impressive looking engine bay. Good work, Michael! I'm working on sprucing up my EFI converted engine bay this winter. Hopefully it comes out looking even half as good as that.

A thread where folks can share photos of original or modified DeLorean engine bays.

If there were interest, I suppose we could keep an engine bay photo on the Registry (on the Texas club web site), were we have all the VINs listed, and some other specialty photos. Folks would just have to email me a .jpg and the VIN number.

This is mine now. Looking to do the VOD soon and clean up the casting slag on the manifold at the same time. I love that Stainless air box.

[Michael]

Thank you. I really like that air box too but I do remember it was expensive. I'm going to replace the gray cover I made with a clear lexan cover (which is what its sold with) and add some ambient lighting....just enough to be tasteful but not over the top ricey. Also all of my "modest" mods are easily reversible.

Hervey at SpecialT sells something similar, but it has a translucent top, so it would have to be modified to have the same DMC cover yours has. It's something I would like to have, but it's just not on the priority list right now.

Just fyi, It's the air intake that is used on the Volvo 760. On the 760 it just uses an air filter further down stream. I believe a better plan would have been to put a cone filter in the pontoon to still use cold clean air.

Also if anyone wants one of these, I have one for sale:

I originally thought about using it on my PRV but just never got around to it.

Love the 170 Cubic Inch sticker :biggrin:

[Henrik]

I call this DIRT... SPAGHETTI... and MEDIOCRITY!!! Hey, you show-off with that fancy A/M air filter and the upgraded coolant bottle :cool1:

[congerz83]

Love the 170 Cubic Inch sticker :biggrin:

Yeah the 170-I6 was used by Ford in Falcons and Mustangs from 61-67...

I thought it would look cool. Also, it's not too far off in size compared to the PRV. I'm a Mustang guy too, so this honors both addictions...

[SS Spoiler]

Several years ago on the old DMC site someone mentioned that the multi colored connectors in the corner were almost to pretty to cover up. He suggested a clear plastic cover would set them off nicely. Thinking that was a cool idea I promptly Made one up with plastic, alum. and clear silicone. Because of my early VIN the original cover was held on with one screw and coolant hoses pressing against it. I've seen others with a kind of latch clip. My question is would there be any interest in my setting up a production run and selling them for $60 [shipping incl.]
I don't know how to post photos to the net so I can't show what they look like. I know Don Steger took pictures at a meet, maybe he could set some up. To the MODS if this needs to be moved to different site, sorry....

To post a photo you do one of 2 things. If you're posting a photo that is already somewhere online, you just go to the photo, right click on it, and get the direct link for it. In google chrome it's easy because when you right click on a photo, one of the options is "copy image URL". If you're using explorer you have to right click, get the image properties, and copy the direct link to the image. Either way, once you've copied the link, you either click on the "insert image" button, click the "from URL" tab and paste the link, and click. You may or may not have to uncheck the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box. If you dont want to click the insert photo button, you can simple paste the URL into your post, inside of these tags:

If you're posting from your computer, you click "manage attachments" below the box you type in to reply, click "add files", then "select files", then find the photos you want to upload on your computer. Then click "upload files". Once they're uploaded, you check the box by them and click "insert inline" at the spot you want to post them in your post.

Can you remember what air filter part number that is ? I would love to do that to get rid of some of the clutter down the road.

Marked by the factory? I'm not sure what you mean. There weren't any markings on mine.

The air filter housing has an embossed rectangular area about the size of the K&N sticker.
That's why I used that spot and made my remark about it.

I like your fuel filter relocation. Certainly makes for easier replacement I would think.
