So in STU, I can run a 3.0L, 6 cylinder engine at 2340lbs (not including adjustors) with a 33mm restrictor?

Weight for a 33mm restrictor 3.0L and under turbo car in STU is 2200#...
GA, curious as to what the Mickster has in mind...thinking Porsche...
Spill the beans! :p
Ah, yes - folks are correct 2200lbs. I have lots of ideas and none that I can afford - my lips are sealed. :P
My bet - 3.0L twin turbo 135i BMW...:-) Might just make the weight too!
but the mill might fit in an old E30 and that should make the weight, right?
eek.
DOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!!!!:o:o
LOL! I gonna let this pot boil a little longer... :) Any more ideas?
Also, it seems we can take a rotary and place a HUGE turbo on it with a 33m plate and still run at 2200lbs... there's another idea. :)
the theory is that there's a maximum HP potential for a given inlet, regardless of the type of heat engine you are feeding. barring heat-recovery setups like power plants use, I think it's probobly close to accurate. If someone has differing information that says a Wankel makes more power than an Otto or Diesel under this limit, please speak up, loudly.
Mitsubishi 6G72/DOHC a'la 3000GT VR4 in an eclipse?
Toyota 2JZ-GTE in a 1985 corolla RWD (why you would do this I don't know) or lexus IS300?
I think both of the above would be too heavy, and I don't know how the rules work with twin, non-sequential turblows. I think smart money is on the N54/55 BMW right now.
Ron Pawley runs an IS300 with a 2JZ turbo in it. ex Grand-Am car from what I understand. faaaaast on the straights.
Greg - the 968 came as a Turbo RS version but only a dozen or so were built. Does that qualify?
Performance models, such as the 110 lb lighter Club Sport and a 305hp turbocharged "S" version, and a 350hp turbocharged "RS" version, all of which offered sportier suspension, were available in ROW form, but were never imported to the U.S.
Damn looks like no turbo 968 for sure
