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

Hey Mickey...I think it is 2200 lbs. Do you have a car in mind?Quote:

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!
I'll eat my BMW hat if anyone gets a 135i within 300 lbs of that minimum weight. No way!Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
So, to follow this up: Since the twin-turbo N-54 is basically an M-54 with a twin-turbo kit on it. Can you start with a M-54 as a base and add the turbo to it?Quote:

If it was a "vehicle offered for sale to the public and available through the manufacturer’s distribution channels in the US" then yes.Quote:

Damn looks like no turbo 968 for sure
