Rally Car Engine

I've recently made a rally car engine (WRC) following the FIA regulations and I found it was an interesting/challenging task.

So the challenge woud be a turbocharged engine with the next restrictions (from FIA and myself):

Cylinders: 4.
Maximum displacement: 1600cc / 97.6ci
Max. turbine size: 33mm
Max. turbo pressure: 2.50bar / 36.8PSI
MTBF: >38000Km
Peak power range: between 5500 - 7200rpm.
Max. RON/AKI: 98/93.1.
Year: 2014.
Default quality sliders.

The goal would be a peak power around 300hp.
The Polo R WRC specs may give you an idea.

Note: I think the restriction on turbine size should be on the compressor (air restrictor) but in that way I've not even been able to get 250hp, so I changed it.

Hope you find the challenge interesting :)

Re: Rally Car Engine

The restriction on WRC engines is not the compressor, it's on the turbo intake, in front of the compressor. The comp. wheel has normal size.

Thanks RobtheFeind for correcting me.
I was not sure about it after read about the turbo intake, air restrictor, turbo bridle... at the end I was more confused than anything else.
So I guess the turbine size would be the thing, right?.

I forgot 'the goal', that would be a peak power around 300hp (I'll edit the OP).
