I think it is a different car....

We call that American Horse Power here. Usually up 15+% :smile:

I agree, there definitely needs to be duplicate categories for PRV and non-PRV powered cars. I am just as keen on the PRV figures BTW.
I think the issue is the lack of actual data, but we can update...

Dyno time is coming up next week, but I am concerned about pushing it too hard and hurting the box before I get to enjoy the car. It might be a couple of months before I have anything to post here....

Ok, so far. Please update as confirmation comes through.

Horsepower

Confirmed

Eddie - Toyota 2JZ - 3.0L Turbo - (392HP)

Unconfirmed

Now I read this again it did come across with the wrong tone. I'm sorry. What I meant to say was that I wanted this post to be about actual data, not debating the swaps themselves or guesses on...

While I know the DeLorean is not a race car or dyno queen, but is there any record for the highest HP and/or fastest DeLorean quarter mile? Both PRV and engine swaps?

I have seen the video of the...

Nick, I have been jealous of the fact your car has been running for 2 years, so we're even!

I will try and get another video up when I do some more testing. Maybe some incar footage and sounds!
As in Nicks videos, the recorded sound...

The oil pan is a lot lower to the ground than the factory setup, but it is not lower than the cross member. It looks worse than it is because of the way the Delorean fascia sits. I am wanting to dry...

Update!

Love it. Great work!

No real mods apart from a few trims for the gearbox and the engine mounts themselves.

I pushed my transmission just over 3". I can double check the exact length when I get home. So far everything seems happy.
I cut the standard gearbox mounts in half and just modified them to suit...

Sorry for the lack of updates, i've been far too busy building. lol
Body is back on and the car is getting very close to driving without all the cosmetic items fitted yet.
I'm working on updating...

I would love to see some pics if you have any :)

While producing power out of any engine is possible (including the PRV) I don't believe a 400HP PRV would be easy, cheap or street drivable....

Thank you Farrar!

Sorry Nicholas, I was a bit busy working on the car and a few other projects to post any updates. I'm sure you know what it's like. Lol. I will try and get a few more backlogged posts up, but they...

Hello all,

The video is of my DeLorean project. Thank you for the kind words and for Nicholas for his assistance.
It's finally getting real now that it starts and my garage floor is slowly being...
