In the Garage

The prospect of fitting the engine all by myself was just too much, if it was a £500 polo then fair enough but i wanted it to be done correctly, so i booked it in with the boys at Brickwerks who originally started the job but abruptly stopped for what i will call communication issues.

So the biggest issue we had with the engine choice was relocating the turbo due to the delorean body being in the way.

Simon the mechanic had a plan to relocate the turbo to the lower left hand side, nice bit of space for it and easier to feed off it from there.

This was the plan Simon had for the exhaust outlets to the turbo...

That was phase 1, next step is finalising the turbo mount and pipework and the wiring, we are going for splicing the gta loom and management into the delorean wiring, that is 100% the job of the mechanic as i know nothing about that side!

Parts

Once i had the engine and car it was time to see what i had missing, and it was a bit of a can of worms, expensive worms.

After a bit of searching i see that there is a DMC dealer in Holland, it confused me to start but there it was, and a massive list of new parts.
My Volkswagen background i thought buying new bits would be impossible, but the fact they were available just outweighed the cost.
A phone call on Tuesday, and Thursday the bits came, amazing service.

Engine Choice

After much debating i decided to keep the donar engine standard, as such. Same PRV engine as in the Renault Apline GTA, but with the kick of a turbo.
I always wanted to find a delorean with no engine to put something with more of a kick in, without the risk of making it worth half its price at the end as being a mongrel!

I had a look around and found a complete engine and box for £750, and a very helpful seller who i am still in touch with now annoying with questions.
