VIN# 3662 Twin Turbo Black Manual Holland

[DeLorean Cars]

Just reading Ed's comments about the car in question: although it's definitely using Z7U components sounds like he's had pistons made and if it's running odd-fire, that'd account for the 6 coil packs (I just assumed immediately that it'd be wasted spark - interested to learn of a management system that will drive 6 ignition coils ). Talk about doing it the hard way though - you could drop in a 73mm even fire crank from any of the naturally aspirated EFI PRVs and make pistons for that, which makes 2849cc and is exactly what Venturi did in the 260 (fully floating gudgeon pins also). Cams are available off-the-shelf for the GTA that'd allow more flow than the stock Z7U jobs which are the limiting factor at 260 at the flywheel.

This has the potential to hit the limit of the transmission.

So all naturally aspirated GTAs were carbed or some people have removed the fuel injection system to carb them themselves?

My sister had a n/a 1988 GTA and I was pretty sure she had issues with the fuel injection on it...

All Atmos were carb'd from the factory.

I see Nico has registered on here.

Hope he will come on with any updates and new pictures for us to see

Posted on behalf of Nico , who will have some current video and photos from his dyno test runs soon

This is the management set without al the sensors.
The triggerwheel is mounted on the flywheel
this is for the ignition and the injection

EXCELLENT work! How does the car drive with that kind of power?!

[arranj]

My crude maths puts that at around 255 BHP at the flywheel.... (give or take 10BHP either way)

Jeez that's quick

Is this the fastest recorded DeLorean in Europe?
