nope, unfortunately. I actually asked Kevin about that a month or 2 back haha
Yeah, would have been pretty awesome, but alasi was going to say most of the recent gains have been due to the vvt setup which would have been awesome on the b6...
i would say great minds think alike but this is me and you we are talking about
Ok, yeah. With that formula, I'd agree with you. 200 lbs is a lot to overcome on an autocross course.
Maybe I'm retarded, maybe I'm a genius...maybe I'm some kind of retard genius...but what would it take to reduce the displacement on a VVT 1.8 by .113 L? Get some sleeves machined and reduce the stroke a bit? I know Japan/Europe had a 1.6 for longer than we did, and in P you can use a JDM block. Any chance there was an NB with a VVT 1.6?
I'm going with retard genius.
it would still be a 1.8l block and classified as such i think. It would be like boring out the 1.6L...it technically still a 1.6, underboring a 1.8l would still classify it as a 1.8L
No, it would be like boring out the 1.6...technically, they're going to count it as whatever the displacement is once you're done. (kiss)
...unless they are going to force you to tear down the engine my guess is they verify it by the block. and per the earlier rule muff posted boring is legal

Also, while boring (to an extent) is specifically allowed, I don't think "de-boring" (can you even do that?) is.
2. Cylinder sleeves may be fitted to the block for repair purposes
if they serve no other prohibited function. Sleeving may
not be used to create a new engine configuration (one which
exhibits the same displacement as an allowed engine, but
which has differing bore and stroke), unless authorized in
Appendix A. Oil passages may be enlarged, restricted, or
plugged.
1. The crankshaft may be replaced with another of the same
basic material, provided the angles of the crank throws remain
the same. No change in stroke is permitted unless
authorized in Appendix A.
Yeah, I knew about the stroke rule but obviously glanced past the sleeving rule. On the upside: Knife-edged crank!
Also, someone buy me this for christmas:

They have tools to measure bore and stroke without taking the head off. They do occasionally spot check at the big events to keep folks honest in the P/M classes specifically

EDIT: And tear downs for protests have happened. It's part of racing. At least it's not like club racing where if you podium there's a very high likely hood that a rebuild is in your future
I was going to say "Sure, how much?" then went and checked.
Holy effing ess! That's an expensive clutch. Want to bring that up the next time somebody brings up how they think we should be able to change clutches and flywheels in ST*?
And i know tear down protests can happen but block identification could cut down hugely on having to.
