V6 Twin-Turbo for me.

[strop]

2.7L v6 NA here. It worked better, and it actually fit. That MR2 body is small!

[EnryGT5]

2.8 V6 N/A, the turbo prototype engine was way too laggy and had horrible fuel consumption.

BTW Strop, my wedge can even fit a 10.9 V8.

I'm pretty sure I'm running an I4.

so it seems we're both on the underdog side once again

Can I use modded bodies and parts?

Your answer is in the rules.

An engine which can house all of your engines at the same time in the cylinder heads.

Seriously, though. I have a 2.8L I6.

Why vmo parts are banned? they are OP?

VMO parts have been determined to use unrealistic values to attain super-traits with aero/cooling. Nearly every competition here has banned their use.

I would like to add VMO has addressed this. But had been done so after the HOM88 started.

I'm running a 2.8L V6. I thought about using a 2l turbo but besides trying to keep things relatively simple, I don't think (for now) it would entirely suit my company's goals (Weiler Motor Company), though given the 90's are around the corner and the hot hatch challenge for 1999...

They do go DOHC but they aren't so eager to abandon OHC, SOHC or OHV valvetrains.

That and while I'm a few pounds over the minimal, not gonna be too bothered over it. It'll be interesting to see where I'll stand among everybody else.

Saw that and went UGH! I didn't think I was going to get outclassed so much this time. THEN:

(This is the non official score section, I was playing with the markets to just see what I can do with it, and wanted to share what I did)

... I read that, scrolled back a few pages, found that blurred spreadsheet with our top 3 performing categories, and realized that FSP was my 3rd best. That means 2 things: 1) I definitely went a different route than most of you and, 2) I still may be dead last if this is the category that best represents how the Official Scoring will come out.
