Yep. I have always wondered how my 914 would do with that amount of power! Gotta build a supercharged 911 engine.

So you'd have to be be running a twin turbo 2.2 (and a bit) to stay under the 3200 OHC limit with the 1.4 multiplier. Twin turbo's would surely put out 300 or 350 hp, so very competitive.

And we know the guy who could build one... but hopefully faster than the last turbo motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The only problem would be weight, with the Sprites (at 1600#), if I'm reading the rules correctly.

So maybe they have a 100# advantage.... nothing a good 914 driver couldn't overcome.

5. For weight designations in EM, Mazda rotary engines are compared
to the piston engines listed (i.e., 3.2L OHC vs. 4.5L OHV).
13B rotary engines should be equated to the 3.2L OHC engines.
13B forced-induction rotary engines (1308cc x 2 x 1.4 = 3662cc)
and all 3-rotor engines shall be grouped with vehicles required to
meet the stated 1800 lb. minimum weight
