#SUCCESS - GezTec - 25th September 2010

[tourettes tony]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who deals with tourrettes when wrenching, hehe.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the significance of the b28e motor over the b28f motor?

i like your style get over next year and you too can be transformed

[jamesrguk]

Also when the swap is done, from looking at the car you will NEVER be able to tell it has different pistons and cams inside it.

+1, if your going for a bit more power but want to maintain original look then the Volvo engine is the way to go.

I've often thought about ditching the PRV all together, but I don't think I could live with having to explain that it's not the original engine etc... whenever I find myself at a car show.

The Volvo setup is effectivly what went in to the limited number of 'Euro-Spec' DeLoreans so really you are staying true to the original design.

JMHO

Today I got quite a bit of work done on the car to prep it for tomorrow. In order...
Removed engine cover
Removed louvre
Removed rear fascia (in the process undoing the engine cover latch assembly, I remember it took me and Dan ages setting it up last time... uurgh)
Removed oil filter
Removed starter motor
Removed exhaust
Removed alternator (sheared off bracket bolt, oops)
Removed intake assembly (airbox, ram horns, venturi, fuel dizzy - lost fuel banjo screw - oops)
Removed RHS rocker cover to clean up for tomorrow

That little lot took me all day.

Lets hope things go a bit quicker tomorrow

Good riddens a lot of work there Gez,

But my heart skipped a beat when you said you removed the RHS rocker cover only when I've just managed to get it leak-free.. But don't worry the best of the best are coming to fix it all!

Just don't let TT install a turbo

[tourettes tony]

looking good Gez

[delorean12uk]

it does look good Gez, but have you got a hoist to take the motor out???

[jerzybondov]

Dan's bringing one in the morning, so hopefully it won't be too long before we pull it out!

[Dan 6511]

well done gez, i think first job tomorow is drain the old oil and coolant, then take the gearbox out and lift the lump out. then we can spend all day swapping parts to volvo engine

[jerzybondov]

I would have drained the oil today but didn't have the right size square socket. Fortunately Al is bringing one tomorrow!

[Dan 6511]

I have one too, I'll bring it as well is case Al forgets. Blimey Gez you've done a lot today Who was helping?
