My ke20 went from 760kg to 850kg with just a 1600 turbo/box/diff/brakes/cooler. Had no rear seats even.Thinking a barra/box/cage would be pretty hefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScatterBrain Donating Members 316 Member For: 14y 10m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 05/06/12 08:00 AM Share Posted 05/06/12 08:00 AM What sort of racing had you planned to do? If it's anything to do with circuit racing and the car's not road registered, Don't bother with a 4L turbo. CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sport) The governing body controlling motor sport in Australia will not allow a race car to be log booked If it calculated engine capacity exceeds 6000cc. Unfortunately a turbo multiplies the engines capacity by 1.7 which make the calculated capacity 6800cc. How ever if you supercharge it, The capacity is only multiplied by 1.5 making it 6000cc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
