There is talk of a new class being added to our local MotorSport / Racing Club (SMRC)... a class for 2.0 N/A cars... Seems like a very good class, but what car would you choose any why?

No published regs as yet but can imagine it would entail the following

<2000cc +50cc to allow rebores
Treaded tyres - 888s/048s
Non Sequential Gearbox
No areo unless standard or homologated

Clio 172/182/192, CTR, ITR etc etc would all fit in nicely

Without a doubt CTR or ITR good cars as standard whip some handling and breathing mods and i'd say they are 110% better than the 182 etc

Homologated aero means you could use an ex btcc integra dc5 with standard non seq dc5 box then

yup... i know what that means Robin.

but you could run those cars in all their glory in a higher up class too. Slicks, sequential etc.

Thats a bit like buying a Ferrari for 200k, and then swapping the engine for a 1.2 fiat to save on fuel. A bit pointless

nope, but no kit cars, and I'd image a rule stating no engine transplants...

as said above... no clear rules or even firm class as yet

As others have said, Integra/Civic or Clios. Throw a lot of money at a MX5 engine to make it up to a 2000cc?

Edit, also there is talk on clubgti of being able to get 300bhp from the 2.0 FSI units in the Mk5 VAG stuff

A - where Fee races (A1, A2)
B - where I race (B1, B2)
C - 1600cc class, and prob a new 2000cc class, so C1, C2 perhaps

do you think you would be allowed to ditch the standard intake and use carbs/throttle bodies?

If they don't implement a no transplant policy I'd be going for an EG Civic with a K20.

I read "Saloon" and "Racing" and instantly thought of these...

I miss the 90's BTCC

That's what I'm getting at, I reckon a cheap ex btcc car (pug 306 for example) minus the sequential would be pretty quick, probably quicker that anything you could build.

Not a full on btcc one but one of the early 2000s btc-t cars or one of the production cup btcc cars.

S2000? 2.0 N/A, 240 bhp and RWD.

From what I've read above, it's not strictly saloons

yup, as long as it isnt forced induction.

A good rule for engine swaps would be 'from the same family'

i.e a K20 mini wouldnt float, but a K20 EK9 would

300bhp isn't impossible from a K20 without forced induction. EK9 or EG would be immense

Be careful with these "250 BHP's" They are all generally tuned at the same place and make 230 BHP on most other rolling roads.

Mike Jordans Integra engine was built by clockwise motion and a true 290 BHP for 20k.

I have exhaust, filter and management on mine, mapped by me at 223BHP, yet all the "250 BHP" don't pull at all on me..

My mate had 240bhp with Kpro, CAI, inlet, mani and decat system mapped by Henry Roy. Doesn't take too much to get there but then it begins to get expensive.
