The fuel injection manifold was a key component needed to drive the DeLorean time machine and get it to 88 m.p.h.

History

In 1885, Dr. Emmett Brown received a strong whiskey (180 proof) from the town bartender, Chester, hoping it would have a similar effect to gasoline. However, when Doc poured the whiskey into the gas tank and Marty McFly tried the ignition, the engine started, but seconds later the fuel injection manifold blew out with a loud bang — the damage to which, according to Doc, would take a month to rebuild.
