Cant go higher then 175chp
Hello, i race in a local time attack series with not very limited rules. Pretty much my only rules i have to stay within is 200tw tires (225 rival s 1.5) and then staying in 12:1 hp to lb. I had my car weighed with a full tank it was 2120 this tells me i can pretty much get 175 at the crank. The race sanction takes your wheel hp and adds 15% if your 2 wheel drive so thats about 150 to the wheels. The motor i have in the car is a automatic 1.6, i say auto motor because supposedly they have a smaller intake cam and lower compression. Im looking to focus on power this off season with that being said 1.8 swap/supercharger/turbo give me advice. I know with 1.8 i will still be pretty low on power. The supercharger would put me right their but im just not a fan of them. I would love to do a low boost turbo build but kinda scared of making too much power

The NA route makes a lot of sense, but if youre feeling adventurous you could take advantage of the rules by building a turbo setup that makes lots of torque and stays under the max power. The trick would be to use a restrictor with a small turbo. Run "all of it" at low-mid RPM and let the restrictor choke it down at higher RPM. With a responsive turbo you could get something like this dyno.

This tiny turbo, high rpm, boost bleeding theory sounds way overly complicated, over expensive, less reliable, and not very much fun to drive, all for very little gain. N/A VVT makes plenty of tq down low, not that you're driving at 3000rpms on a track anyway. I'm as big of a turbo fanboy as anyone, but at that power level it just makes no sense to me.

Ha small world yea i run in rb at the ppir tad and i want to stay in rb for next year. Im leaning towards a turbo with real low boot because their is room to grow so when im ready for the class switch i already have it figured out.
