The World's Fastest DeLorean - /TUNED

What happens when you throw a very large and powerful Buick Grand National motor into a 30-year-old legend like the DeLorean? Thats what Matt Farah finds out on this week's episode of /TUNED.

[@HouseOPainShow]

Once this thing reaches 88 mph, you're going to see some serious shit.

Pity he didn't go into the DeLorean story, I think it's the best part of the car: Built in Northern Ireland during the middle of the Troubles when no-one would go near the place. Thatcher brokered a deal with DeLorean, effectively paying him to manufacture there. It all ended in a big embarrassing mess of cocaine and cash. Loads of guys who worked for DMC are still knocking about. My neighbor used to be one of the guys who drove-in all the new cars. Just drove them 'round the block to see if the wheels stayed on' to quote him. They still hold a huge legend status in NI. We're oddly very proud of making a very iconic yet pretty shite car...

With a twin turbo 109 block, that SOB should take off like a bat out of hell.

[@wezmarauder2754]

About the PRV V6. What most of you *don't* know is that it's the engine that powered the car which holds to all time top speed record at LeMans. The WM P88 was driven to an official 407km/h (253mph) in 1988 on the Mulsanne straight. That was in the race itself. During practice Roger Dorchy drove the WM P88 to 416km/h (259mph). The PRV V6 was good enough for 850hp in race trim and 900+hp in qualifying trim. They added chicanes to the Mulsanne straight in 1990 so those top speed records are unlikely to ever be broken unless they remove the chicanes. So while the stock motor may not have appeared very good it certainly had potential and *proved* it at Le Mans in 1988. 259mph is 1988 from a 2,8 liter V6 developed for roadcars in the early 70's is not to be scoffed at.

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

Also, John Delorean wanted 200hp out of the DMC setup, but it had to be severely detuned to meet U.S. emissions. Which is a shame, because 200hp in the DMC is properly quick even by today's standards. The DMC's biggest failure was timing. Chevy didn't even bother offering a 1983 Corvette to the public, that's how terrible a time it was for sports cars. The catalytic converter alone zapped 40hp off the DMC. Silver lining, it's super easy to bring the DMC back up to 200hp NA.

[@DeathBringer769]

Well, the Veyron uses the same base engine as a Golf... but it uses a few of them stuck together and it's highly turbo'd and tuned, lol. You can't just say "well it has the same engine" and then act like that makes every car that has a detuned or worse version of it magically awesome. The engine has nowhere THAT level of tune and power even if it's the same "base engine."

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

that was a fully custom, twin turbo, all forged race engine....not a production engine. A forged/stroked sr20 will make over 1400hp and do well over 250mph in that same chassis and at only 2.4 liters

[@Krystalmyth]

[@stratpluslover8391]

The prv engine is a noisy underpowered piece of shit it shouldn't have never been put in this car it deserves better than a v6 130 bhp

[@NandorTheRelentless76]

no offense intended here, but that episode was kind of a waste of time, the car broke down multiple times, then died completely. He should go back when it's all tuned up and let loose those 575 HP, or at least pour some gas on the ground and make some flaming tire tracks like in the movie

[@SES10M]

[@willyoung164]

SES10M you're comparing apples to oranges. that's a much older engine. and ethanol actually is the reason our gas goes bad that quickly. however, the problem it causes with engines is more likely from rubber fuel lines. because ethanol has a reaction with rubber that has poor effects on engines. can an engine survive ethanol fine? yes. do old engines do it well? no. does that make them bad? also no

[@ShunShinimaru]

SES10M An engine that's built for ethanol is going to drive just fine. Ethanol is a viable fuel alternative and it's good. The problem is putting ethanol in cars that aren't meant for ethanol. Bad things happen, like lower gas mileage, gas going bad, and gunking up the fuel injection system.

[@SES10M]

WeActOnImpulse Official Ethanol Always cones with lower gas milage, I use Ethanol E85 in my LS1 wich is a 1994 engine, you just need to set it up, but at the long term its cheaper and better, ethanol could help manufacturers like GM and Ford to avoid the CAFE law, yes the same rule that forced the new ZO6 to have a supercharger 6.2L instead of a 7L with direct injection or a V6 twin turbo instead of a v8, america will keep lossing its veloved v8s if they keep using regular gas.... and most Americans are ingorant about Ethanol and they think ethaon is made from food... or ethanol is bad for cars... they actually think ethanol price is higher than current gas, or ethanol polute same as regular gas... ethanol is the perfect future for combustion engines, but people are so ignorant and blind by companies to see it,

[@SmokeyJa]

If you buy a stock one you’ll have even worse issues if you let it sit. K jet does not like sitting!

I bet a few bottles of B-12 Chemtool in the half-empty gas tank would've broken up the goop in the fuel lines. That stuff is basically a super-concentrated version of the detergents included in normal gasoline. Might need to let the car sit with the ignition "on" but the engine "off" for a half-hour or so, so the fuel pump could cycle the solvents through and dissolve the goop without flushing the goop into the injectors.

Thats actually wrong, the PRV V6 was never in a 240 but the 240GLT from 1979-1980, then its the stock engine for Volvo 264 and Volvo 760 and Volvo 780. The type model for this engine in a those Volvos are B28E and gives 156hp, there was an relier model to that was available in Volvo 264 and its name was B27A and B27E. NOTE: It could be that 240´s had the option in america only to get the B28 engine instead for the "red block" volvo engine.

[@HearGear]

Thats not right, B20 was only in 240 in the very early models, 1975 to 1978 if i remember correctly, and it was produced to 1993 so for the most part i believe it was the B23 and B230 that was most common in the 240.

Johnny Wrong Yeah.. thats right :D, that PRV V6 wasn't really in a 240 at any time.. well unless the 240 GLT 1979-1980..there are actually two PRV V6 versions, in volvo they called it B27 and B28, B27 is the earlier model.

[@milfordcivic6755]

It's a Peugeot engine.....Volvo had another one in the 740's in the mid to late 80's that was junk by them as well..

[@MrClioMarcel]

Milford Civic It's a Peugeot Renault and Volvo engine ... This engine was also in a Renault 25 and 30 and Peugeot put it a 604 and Volvo in the 240... That's where is stands for ... P-R-V ( Peugeot-Renault-Volvo )

[@leneanderthalien]

MrClioMarcel True, and at debut of this project, a 3.8L V8 was planed, but the petrol shock from 1974 who double the gas prices , who are still VERY HIGHT IN Europe, actual average ~1.55€/1 liter in France (near 8$ /US gallon), kill the project who was transformed in a smaller V6, with 90° bank angle (same as a V8)...this explain WHY only rich people (or fanatics) can drive a US car in Europe...and over this, in France a 8000€ "carbon tax" for all high emission cars like for ex. Chevrolet Camaro,Lada Niva (....),Porsche Cayenne, etc...

1:51 The Flux Capacitor on the bench behind him, awesome! :-)

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

Great vlog!

[@johnathancommodore9642]

i would put a nissan r35gtr engine in this machine,then i would go to the year 2020

[@angelesc2033]

Johnathan Commodore 12 yr old spotted

[@antonizajac3907]

Johnathan Commodore VR38DETTs are absolute shit. Put something like a BMW M10 or M12

[@Beer_Dad1975]

DeLorean could sure design a nice looking car, pity everything under the skin was so crap - if it had a good engine (seriously, I know they mostly sorted it out eventually, but the PRV from the 80's has to be one of the worst engines of the late 20th century) and had been put together better, they probably would have sold a bundle.

[@fancyman4006]

Dude the DeLorean is the best car on the road to date, Ok?

[@feralcatify]

Fancy Man The handling is bad with the stock engine, but it looks nice

[@fancyman4006]

I take that as a challenge. So I accept it. What's the best handling car you know of right now? Tell me And I will race it and beat it with all stock shite in it, ok?

[@Raven1024]

Fancy Man I'd like to see it outhandle a Lotus Elise...

[@fancyman4006]

Raven1024 I accept that challenge with gravy.

[@coldriversurvival8529]

This video, at least for me, shows one of the best sides of car tuning. Sure, it's annoying when your project car brakes, but when it brakes down in canyon like that, at that time day....just reminds me of my father's 240, the places we went in that thing. It was fast as hell, always braking, had an engine swap in it, made me sad when it left. Now every time I see a sunset I think about the day that car threw a rod.

[@93mcmanus]

Made a new hose today for this car, it is still looking fine as hell. The owner of the delorean is a really cool guy

[@ThunderHead289]

why I hate turbos. NA nitrous all day.

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

while nitro is cheaper you cant maintain nitro anytime you want to race while a turbo is always working plus without the right type of materials your whole engine block can corrode and catch up in flames in an instant if you push it a little too hard and most people if they want a fast car don't want to have a lot of the front end parts made of stainless steel just to use nitro without killing there car

[@greecoboost]

The car was running so crappy, it probably never even got a chance to make any boost. It didn't sound like the turbos spooled up at all.

[@RecklessDezire]

If it had a Hemi instead of that Grand National motor it wouldn't need a Flux Capacitor to travel through time!.

[@bowlofsoup12]

Joshua Edward yea if it had a hemi it wouldn't run at all 🤣

[@a.j.swierzbinski6225]

Kris King It will run but not with YOU

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

its not really even a grand national engine. it's a shitty volvo engine

[@BuzzLOLOL]

The Buick Grand National V6 is the '60 - '63 Buick aluminum hemi V8 with 2 cylinders lopped off, made of iron, and a turbo added... (Olds offered it in V8 form with a turbo in 1961 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rIdZiag6qMq6s )

[@THE46GUY]

I have tried searching for DMC garden Grove and DMC DON Garden Grove but keep only finding info for DMC in Texas or other places in Cali. Is there contact information or a website to see whats for Sale from this specific shop?

[@Deloreanhire]

Great Scott! I could do with that kind of power!

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

delorean screwed himself and everyone that bought this car...they were priced higher than a corvette, with the balls of a chevette. and this was designed by the guy that spearheaded the GTO....step away from the coke mirror john

[@1oneguythat]

ur lame

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

maybe but still accurate

[@BeLikeWater1000]

No way more coke!!!

[@atranfanatic]

But Mr. Delorean gets mad props from me for creating my Firebird. He worked for Pontiac back in the day.

[@RealRocdad]

No they cost $5000 less than a Corvette but yes crap compared to a vette..

[@paktype]

I'm disappointed. I thought we would see the world's fastest DeLorean with a stock DeLorean engine. Anyone can swap in a Buick GNX engine but is it still a DeLorean? I say no.

[@BuzzLOLOL]

Still a DeLorean... with an engine nearer to what it should have came with... The turbo Olds/Buick V8... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rIdZiag6qMq6s

[@krismichalsky]

There's always been a DMC service shop in Houston. Been that way for years.... It used to be on the West side of Houston, now it's located in Humble, TX just north and outside of Houston.

[@thoreo7390]

Got this in my recommended Glad I clicked it

[@Maples01]

Welcome to the wonderful effects of E10 ethanol, that is what it does, if it sits longer than one month, you've got a tank of crap! I now run 100% gas in my 73 Ford van because it doesn't like corn, and what the stuff did when it sat getting work done on it

[@matthewhardy8133]

That's an exaggeration. E10 shelf life (or tank life) is way more than one month. And...there's no such thing as "100% gas"...actually there is, but it won't be the correct fuel for any engine. All gasoline is a combination of gasoline and additives. Ethanol is one of the additives used today.

[@AllAmericanPatriot1]

Why do so many of these car guys have insanely douchey facial-hair styles?

[@martinskoog1777]

Douch = masculine extroversion Cars runs on money = masculine

You must not be able to grow a beard lmao

[@JerkyJones100]

I liked the episode. When real world problems happen makes it more interesting.

[@royalmanzar9697]

wow is amazing it's like in back to the future movie

[@soeminwaiyan2734]

It looks classy 🤩

[@0zmosis2001]

oh man I was so excited to see this thingoh man I was so excited to see this thing rip! but in the end only thing this thing did was r. I. P. I would love to see a next episode with this thing fixed tarantass like I know it can do especially with a Grand National twin turbo motor oh baby

[@veggiemite777]

The flux capacitor is an awesome touch!

[@alex_k1410]

I would love to own a Delorean. It is one of my dream cars.

[@007Knightjp]

Hey Matt, Have you tried to find the Delorean with a 2JZ motor swap? I think that one was running pretty well in the videos posted on KZbin.

[@DrkHnd]

Please go back and try this again once they've got it working properly :)

[@mwilliams82684]

I’ve got a buddy with a beautiful example of one and it’s a blast! People freak out when we pull up places. 😂😛

[@caribbeangtr8077]

Love the Reggae Music ending :)

[@GlennnD]

What is the music in the background the whole video ? It's sooo loungy and great !

[@chivalryalive]

Forgive my lack or auto knowledge-- Does or would the standard DeLorean frame and suspension have the strength to handle a truly powerful engine?

[@arccityangels]

I’ve gotta ask, why not tune the engine. I’ve seen some bad ass 240’s turbo charged and borded out. Is it something to do with the weight?

[@Will-eh6xe]

wow its sad that even at 570 hp it still cant break 60 dam shame too really lved the sound of her hum
