Wastegate, turbo oil supply/return, intake, fuel lines

The wastegate and oil supply and return hoses to/from the turbo are now installed:

Also the lower, stock intake manifold has been mounted, whereas the upper “upstream” d:o will be custom made. Ed will fabricate the main chamber; the portion that mates up to the lower manifold will be CNC machined flat and with smooth radii for an unimpeded flow into the combustion chambers. This manifold should be simpler then Jeremiah’s car because his was an auto so linkages are simpler for us.

Lower intake manifold in place, so far

Coolant pipes are done. The stock Delorean water temp sensor required an adapter that Ed had his machine shop fabricate.

Fuel lines are also done. For the lines leading up to the fuel rail we decided to go with stock, i.e. rubber lines; not SS. Hard fuel lines would have required custom bracketry, custom fuel lines and additional fittings so we decided to stay with stock. Ed also thought it would look cleaner so I’m good with that.


Fuel rail and lines in place but not mounted

The wiring is underway. Check out the pic where you can see how tiny the new and high-powered MS3 Pro ECU is compared to the old, stock d:o. Ed: “Dropped about 5 lbs of weight too”. I love it.



Wiring starts; MS3 Pro - tiny size, awesome features

After wiring comes the intake manifold, exhaust system and charge piping. Stay tuned. No pun intended.
