Hello dear friends
I see a lot of works here lately
Here in Italy always busied
also with deloreans...
I did pushed for founding limits on PRV... got a blown headgasket with turbo pressure :S but comparison showed that this replacement headgasket, taken from a serious Alpine part dealer, has this delicate point of failure, aside the cylinder, while the original one has just a smaller hole on the side, so not possible to "break" this way. So... original parts are lot of times better
go for it.
I then did a little of head cleaning and polishing, and the engine is already together and running.
I'm now working with the Megasquirt EFI i did put, and it works good, I just bought a wideband lambda sensor, so i can make a very precise map, but lately it was going quite good, and got around 11 km/lt on the highway.
Apart my car, i am putting together another special delorean for a friend, Giovanni, which was with me in Swiss. This is the engine we took there.
It got special forged pistons i let made on my drawings here in italy for more compression, got regrinded cams from a specialist in germany, and some other works. I hope to pass 200hp easily
and now is ready, time to put all together in the car...
Other special feature are vented brakes front and REAR
and I'm working on something for the front suspensions...
( the steering wheel tierod is just a quick try...)
I got lasercutted a special tank plate, lot more heavy and to be reinforced, for a good triangulating little arm in line with the lower arm fulcrum.
