Island Twin Turbo system

[nick@nite]

It appears the Twin Turbo that was put on my Delorean was only half done, do they still make parts for the Island Twin Turbo system?

Not as far as I know. What do you need? This community is really good at pulling stuff out of nowhere to fix a problem. Someone may have exactly what you need sitting in their garage.

Although parts not be made for new kits, there are
some parts still available (at least a few years ago).

No turbos or exhaust manifolds, at the time, but there
were some cats and some of the other piping parts.

Contact info was still the same as all the previous ads
in the old issues of DeLorean World and the later DW.

Sorry, I do not have any issues with me at work.

Later,

If you cannot get enough parts to make it run as an Island Turbo, I have enough parts for you to return it to stock configuration. This includes the manifolds, cat, muffler, brackets, distributor, w pipe, etc. I can forward a complete inventory on request. All of the stuff is left-over from the car I converted to an Island set-up. I may be interested in what parts you have.

what about converting to a modern turbo system? I talked to Danny down at dmc california and he is really opposed to putting one on.

I'd talk to Josh at DPI. He's probably your best bet for performance upgrades (from what I've heard. I've not actually worked with him personally)

We have plenty of spare island parts here depending on what you are looking for. Including our intercooler upgrade, meth injection kit, efi kit, ceramic coated turbo housing, rebuilt IHI turbochargers ceramic coated, polished cooler pipes, hobbs switches, pre modified lower engine cradles, custom feed and return oil lines with new Earl fittings, custom exhaust system and the list goes on and on...

"Back in the day" DMCCA probably did more Island turbo conversions than any other shop (they weren't called DMCCA back then). He knows how problematic they can be and how the owners abused the cars with it. It IS a powerful upgrade but if it isn't working right it will blow up the motor. Ask Mark Levy. Any boost over 5 lbs on the stock pistons and you will have to bungee the oil fill down and the cars behind you will get covered in oil mist! The other problem is there are not many who can work on the turbo set-up but DMCCA is one of the top shops for it in the world. And if he doesn't have all of the parts you need it sounds like Josh has (or can get) whatever you will need to complete the install.

I am actually still happy with the power output that the stock engine has and am curious to see how it is now that I have done all these upgrades to the car. The only thing i didnt do to the power system is the stage 2 upgrade, every other system in the car has been upgraded or replaced with new parts. Should ride like a new car.

Imagine that<sarcasm>. You always have to keep in mind whom you are talking to and what they market and/or sell. Kinda hard to sell a Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3 (eventually), or now apparently electric upgrade (Stage 4?) to someone wanting a turbo.
