STx Notes, February Fastrack

[Mrsideways]

Ian,

I think you'll find that an inlet restricted turbo is pretty much a lesser turbo. the TIRs listed inthe STCS and feb 11 fastrack are small. and the weights are large. NA guys should be OK.

I think the solution is relatively simple. (and I know this opens a can of worms). Allow people to Add turbo's then it's a fair game. Everyone gets turbo's if they want em and everyone plays to the TIR game. Would be a heck of alot cheaper to toss a turbo kit and some low compression pistons on the S2000 and run the restrictor to the current weight then to build a $10-15,000 engine at an attempt to hit the astronomic hp # needed for a 2700lbs race weight vehicle + buying another $10k in dry carbon items to get a measly 20-40lbs out of the car. Or doing a K24 swap into it to hit the same hp as the World Challenge cars. And if these TIR's really work it won't matter what size turbo you put on so no need to police that. Put a huge turbo and just deal with lag + no air flow when it coughs on the restrictor.

I really fail to see the difference between allowing an SR20DET swap into a 240sx and allowing another company car with the same size motor to hang the same size turbo on the side of it.
