do not think chil bowel would allow a turbocharged engine, but it would be interesting.  I think the cost of engine might scare us.

I remember reading something that they weren't allowing them anymore after Pickens and Mosen (I believe?) ran so good with them...either way, idk

If I am not mistaken they were V8s not V6s but I could be wrong.

how could you outlaw them because they ran so good?   They did not win.  Esslinger has won so many times, with that logic why not ban them?  I guess I would call who ever and see what is legal.Are supercharged and   turbo legal?  I do not see advantage because you are on and off throttle at Chili Bowel.

At 88 pounds, the 3-cylinder engine is light enough to hold in your arms. Photo: Nissan
