Anyone looking for a turbo charged time machine?
 

Ebay item number 4623211079

Or, if it works...

Not really my cup of tea, but kinda cool- I think I'd get bored of the questions about the flux capacitor and how many miles to the pound of garbage does it get.

Anyone ever driven one?

Cheers,

Paul.

already had one........she rotted out but was a blast......(kidding it's not a deloreon but still a time capsule)

i already have the engine for the next one i want to build :D

LOL! I guess the one featured in 'Back to the future' had a 350 in it.

my understanding is that they are like a very heavy fiero, never had the chance to ride in one, but i've always wanted to go back to 1955 :D

Bell - I always had a soft spot for the Dodge Charger/Omnis Turbos. The Chargers were, IMO, sort of like a poor man's 944, but FWD.

What's the details on your old Omni and the next one you'll build - if you don't mind me asking.

GLH, easily one of the ultimate sleepers.

Yeah, so much of a sleeper, Bell seems to be unconscious that I asked about it and his plans for his "next." SmileWavy

dd74 check your pm's.

i had the glh in the post above for a few years, i bought it off of as friend who used it for autocrossing, was stripped of all sound deadening etc, weight just under 2000 lbs dry.
after i bought it i converted it to TII (intercooled/bigger manifolds/LM) and dynod around 300hp/250tq.
when it finally rotted out (like most mid 80's dodge's do) i sold it.
then i bought a shelby charger "project" got it 90% done with another TII conversion and sold it this past sunday.
sitting in my garage is an 88' daytona shelbyZ engine which i am going to rebuild completey to put in a future omni glh, should put out around 300hp also, if i switch to a common block (89' and newer 2.5 4 cyl, forged bottom end) i'll be able to pull out about 400hp with the right cam/turbo setup.
the TD stuff is pretty simple to make big hp.....but not as much fun to work on as the 911....which is where the $$$ from the charger is going :D

Sweet! Yeah, the Dodge FWD cars were cool in a rough n' ready sort of way. Can you get most of the go-fast parts from Mopar?

Had a conversation not too long ago with a DeLorean owner in the parking lot of a 7/11. Spent some time checking out his car. Sure, they arent that well made, they are slow, and they dont make any sense, but its a damn nice looking car... I'd like to have one someday

They're slow, but there was a turbo kit available to them in the early 80s that made them on par with Turbo 911s. How well the DeLoreans lasted on boost, well.... :confused:

dd74,
this one has a BAE turbo- is that the same as the one you mentioned? Low miles too- I wonder if the turbo will detract from the originality value? Currently the bid is $15,300. I always thought they look cool- with the exception of the mis-matched front end. I heard one of the first shipments from Ireland sank to the bottom of the Atlantic!

Cheers,

Paul.
