Yeah, the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. Nice engine, but I don't think it can be used. It is a proper twin turbo. It isn't a single turbo in a hot-V configuration, so it can't be used. See the pics below and the rules. Max 3 allows a 4.5L or 2.9L single unit or 1.9L multi-unit. To me, it doesn't matter if we are talking twin turbos or if we are talking a supercharger and a turbo, but there is a chance they mean only the later. I would want clarification: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/50...-transmission/ https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/class4fullrules Quote:

The other option is to do a modified Max 5 category. I don’t know if there is a better option, but the 1.8L Miata engine from the NB is obviously longitudinal, under 1.9L, and if you did piston, rods, and the works with E85 and a turbo like a G30, you probably could make plenty of power with decent response, be light weight and have a cheap engine in there.

Yeah there aren’t that many longitudinal engines under 1.9l that have good aftermarket support and can make power. I wanted to suggest destroking an RB20 but the rules state OE displacement.
Z3s had a 1.9 engine available, or you could look into CA18DETs (if rod bearings are your thing) |

We shall see what this engine swap brings first.
If it isn't as competitive as I would like. I'll dig a little deeper into the rule book. Sent from my motorola edge (2021) using Tapatalk

Latest episode is now up and running.
Not a lot of techincal talking, but there will be plenty of that in the upcoming future. I do have a question for those of you following on the FR-S teardown. Do you guys want to see some tips and tricks on removal of the Scion teardown, or would a timelapse of a fast teardown be good? I have no problem going over things, even to the point of a how-to. I am just wanting to give you guys as much positive return on your time as possible.

I've been following speed academy for a long time and I actually watch them much more casually now. They used to really dig into technical details. Probably to the point of being annoying for most but I like that type of content. That said, them moving away from it is probably more "normal" viewer friendly. What you produce will attract a certain audience is all I'm saying You just have ot decide what you want.
