Mark, The FJ box is stronger than the N/A box, bearings and input shaft are the reasons why apparently. A restricter on a turbo engine reduces potential power at higher revs. It shouldn't change very much when the turbo comes on boost. This is effected more by the A/R ratio of the turbine and gas velocity in the exhaust manifold. I think you would be better off racing with a NA engine and trying to get class wins in the under 2Ltr category. I would be sticking with the FJ20DE, if you can get the static CR up to an acceptable level and get decent cams etc you should be able to get enough hp to make the car quite competitive. If you don't think you can get enough power from the FJ switch to an SR. NA SR20's involved in state racing down here are quite competitive in Club cars and under 2ltr sports sedans. 200-220 HP should be enough to get you near the front of the feild. Regards Trev

I am interested in knowing what sort of power people are able to extract with the restrictor fitted. Also how usable the power is, meaning where does it come on boost. Any info appreciated.
