The Fastest car I’ve ever worked on….. http://engtuning.com/blog/2011/05/01/the-fastest-car-ive-ever-worked-on/ http://engtuning.com/blog/2011/05/01/the-fastest-car-ive-ever-worked-on/#comments Mon, 02 May 2011 01:39:20 +0000 Casey http://engtuning.com/blog/?p=224 Okay...So it's funny, but this is the real(and only publically owned) Delorean from the Back to the future movies. The car is owned by a family member and they have been restoring the car for the last 6 years as it was a complete wreck from sitting in a lot for a couple decades without shelter. I was called in for a little help in the tuning(meaning making run) department. This particular car sits on a modified sand rail chassis and is powered by an air cooled VW engine. It just needed a valve adjustment, carb adjustment and the point gap set correctly.

In all it's glory

Why yes....that is a flux capacitor

where in time do you want to go?

88mph....you know the deal

details.....

just like the movie

Mr. Fusion...

Little VW engine..

visual stimulation http://engtuning.com/blog/2010/02/21/visual-stimulation/ http://engtuning.com/blog/2010/02/21/visual-stimulation/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:26:17 +0000 Casey http://engtuning.com/blog/2010/02/21/visual-stimulation/ I started my new teaching gig at wyotech a couple weeks ago....so it's been pretty hectic with the new full time job and getting work done at the shop. Alot of small jobs have been getting done, but I neglected to get any pics.

The s2k disaster is now almost completely redone.....There are a couple of little details left.

I've been meaning to get some more fabrication pictures....so here are -10 crankcase breather vents welded on the s2k valve cover

Intercooler piping we fabbed up...with Tial 50mm bov and water/meth injection bung welded on.

Hot side I/C pipe we built...very tight fit between the subframe and the rack

Lower cold side I/C pipe

We cleaned up the all the hack work previously performed to the s2k....properly remounted the accessories on the frame rail using nutserts.

Battery bracket/tray

old school Celica with s2k motor in for tuning

clean

vroom....TWM 52mm ITB's

Yeah....this will be my next project

Silver Elise is finally getting the finishing touches...APR front splitter

solid

We made custom spacers to provide proper fitment in the raised area in the middle of the clam

We also installed an APR carbon rear wing

rear shot

All the engine and mechanical work finished...ready for the dyno

During all the work we've had we have also been putting in some work on the cage for our shop car

parachute support
