PRV mods and Engine swaps

[Nicholas R]

Was watching Wheeler Dealers recently and they were doing an Alpine A310; the car from which the Delorean got its engine and transmission from. What they did to get more power was to have a kit made that would replace the existing manifold and carb setup with a Holley 4 barrel. It involved having a manifold machined with a special adapter plate.
Would that help Delorean PRVs get more power??

There are several people with carbureted DeLoreans, but the power output is pretty much the same. Nothing really changes but the fuel delivery method; you're still getting the same amount of air and fuel into the cylinder. If you want to increase the power you have to either change how much air and fuel are going in, modify the compression, change displacement, modify cam and ignition timing, etc.

If you're interested in carbed DeLoreans, then this is the place for you:

Your car has a LS1 in it.?!
How is it? Does it handle well?

I really really want to do a Honda J32 swap in my Delorean

I believe that's the same engine tommyrich put in his car. You should contact him if you really are interested in that swap.
