The Fastest Delorean In The World

[AdamKontras]

It's time to announce a new project/documentary that I hope everyone will enjoy following. I've tried to contact every owner individually with some luck, but still waiting on quite a few. The mission statements explains it all and I can't wait to spotlight all the owners that have attempted high horse power engine swaps!

Looking forward to your feedback and mostly? Whomever can tell me what Robert's last name is. 10 years ago he had a beautiful Lotus Swap and was featured on Tamir's site, but I cannot find any other info about him!!

Thanks in advance!

I can certainly understand the logic. If I had a catastrophic failure of the engine or transmission you can bet I would be looking at a engine swap for roughly the same cost.

Yeah I flirted with the idea for awhile since my brother builds performance engines, but until I was faced with a bill that size it made the choice a lot easier!

Awesome, is this your car? It says it was sold... do we have a VIN?

Your auto trans problem likely came down to roughly a $300 fix. It is well known the original auto trans computer governor fails. If one replaces the governor, all is well. Driving one that is failing is a death sentence to the trans. Too late now of course.

Yeah, had I replaced the governor immediately it would've been $400. I know that now. Run it for a full 18 months? Bye-bye transmission. ;-)

But I had a pretty good 2015/2016. And now this is super-exciting... so YAY.

i have no delorean, so the rotary one is absolutely not mine.

just thought i'd draw your attention to an engine swap you may not have known about.

Alright! Lots of updates:

Spoke with Tamir and he thinks he can get Robert on-board as he's the most legitimate heir to the "Fastest Delorean in the World" throne currently held by Nicholas Roedl. Need some more info and hopefully he's had a dyno read. That lotus engine is extremely powerful and expensive even for 2005.

As well, we now have 4 videos up in the Documentary section of our site (Documentary) that should set the scene for how nerve-wracking this entire thing is. Episode 5 will be spotlighting another owner while we gut the Delorean. We're looking to have this complete by the end of February.

And as always - please reply with any info you may have on other engine swaps. Presently trying to find the name of DMCTALK user: wafflemaster as he owns the infamous "World's Fastest Delorean" Buick Grand National that broke down on "Tuned" a few years back. It's being restored and should absolutely be a contender although the quoted 575 HP was shown to be untrue.

Thanks! Hope you guys enjoy the episodes!
