I bet over 280 is do-able if you wanted. |
The 280 figure was given to me by Field Motorsport Engineering who do engines for a single seater competition in Spain (or it could have been Portugal)

Yes, and no, for drifting, which is what this forum is about then theres no point in pissing about with DE engines. From my point of view its a sound idea because a turbo in Modified Production saloon categories means you're in the same category of 4WD turbos and 'specials' like mid engined V8 cars, where a 1998cc engine puts you in with mainly FWD cars. I'll still get beaten, but it wont be such a sound thrashing as by the over 2000cc group.
