Build an engine suited to your needs, not a specific race series. WRC cars run a tiny 30 or 32mm restrictor before the turbo, so their engineering requires very specific design that no normal engine would ever want to use. Because of the restrictor they operate over a much smaller rpm range as the engine is strangled.
So are you tied by those rules ?
hello stevie, my plans are to run the car this year with my race engine and do track days, sprints , and 0 to 60 ect anything thats got no power limit.
in the mean time as and when i have spare cash i plan to buy or built a wrc escort engine , my plans are to start and rally . the car will have to run a restrictor as all rally cars do.
dominic while building this car has everything sorted that a engine and spec change will be a easy job for use to do when the time comes.
thanks steven
