Turbo VR6 DeLorean

[Chris Burns]

Very cool!

I wonder how much room will be left after the turbo is installed?

There is going to be a lot of room to access everything for maintenance and repair. I did a quick test fit of the turbo manifold and I have plenty of room to work with. I try to make it a point to make future repairs and maintenance a high priority because most of my cars are built to drive.

I used to be a crew chief on a plane that was designed with it's eventual shooting-down in mind. Hence, you had to practically disassemble it to get anything done in the engine bay. We had one teenie WAF who was worth her weight in gold, because she could shimmy up in there and change small parts, thus saving the rest of us about fourteen hours of work.

I am very impressed with the forethought being shown here. No wonder Eddie is revered here.

- okay, going back to reading and learning...

Thank you for the kind words! I truely enjoy each build I do and enjoy sharing with others.

I've made some more progress on Jeremiah's car. I got the turbo and manifold mounted and 50% of the oil return line. I need to swap the 45deg fitting for a 90 to give me more room for the exhaust. Tonight I pulled the transmission dip stick out and bead blasted it and painted it so it would look better next to the engine. I also have the remote oil filter hardware in so I can locate that in an easy to access location.

Going from a split bank 90 degree to a single head 15 degree certainly does open up a lot of engine bay space to have fun with

[ALEXAKOS]

With all that space, don't you want to add another one have them work side by side?

This will look interesting when done. Nice clean job so far.

Don't forget this is just the block installed... the intake manifold will hang off the passenger side of the engine, and there will be turbo charge tubing added as well. Not to mention the exhaust routing, cat/muffler, fuel injection, ignition, alternator, and A/C compressor haven't been fitted yet, either. That engine compartment will end up being a bit more cozy than it looks now.

I know. Was just messing with ya will look nice!
