DMC stage 1 and stage 2 engine differences

[Delorean Industries]

I had a Stage II with an automatic, I can tell you that it does not overwhelm the Peugot automatic transmission. I now have one of DPI's engine mods (ported, custom ceramic exhaust and new cams, I think) and it runs better than the Stage II ever did.

Tweaked with custom ceramic coated exhaust, extremely aggressive camshafts that also offer a great idle and fuel economy in an automatic (yes our cam grinds are different between manuals and autos) and a few other tricks. Glad you are enjoying it!

Apologies, I was not intending to "bash". I should clarify that in regards to the retaining nut that some how rattled off the front shock, a new one was shipped to me free of charge, and all I had to do was put it on, no damage. As for my door lock issue, a solution was never agreed upon by Ken and myself. However the car will be being brought to a very reputable mechanic next Monday, and troubleshooting the door locks will be on the list of "to do's". I can forward the invoice if you like.

I think that was aimed more towards me thirdmanj as was the first part of Tony's response.

Yes, I'm enjoying it. The most interesting side-effect of the DPI mods are how quiet the engine is. I used to have to raise my voice to speak to the passenger at highway speeds, but I don't have to do that now. The car is as quiet as a modern car with all the shrouds they put under the hood these days.

By the way, Josh, can you fabricate a new transmission for the Delorean? I'd like one, 6-speed, please, and be able to dynamically set the shift points (economy or drag racing). Please install by December, thanks.

Thanks to an LA owner who pointed us in a certain direction we are currently working with a transmission outfit in NJ to retrofit a custom transmission set up that can withstand our Spec III offering.

Sorry Farrar..... Los Angeles

I figured that, since it was prefaced with an "an" instead of an "a" -- but my head still explodes when I think of custom transmission options for a DeLorean -- amazing!

Spec III? Have I missed something?

Interesting thread, but until now only the second reply was talking about the differences between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 engines. Can somebody explain me what are the upgrades compared to a stock engine?

As I know it:
Stage 1: Stainless Exhaust(Headers, Dual Cats and Muffler), K&N Filter, "Cold Air" intake duct and new coil and O2 sensor

Stage 2: All of the above plus modified performance cams with ported & polished heads.
