I am building an engine currently for one of my customers who drives in the open rally class, The engine is a 4g63 Mitsu with a big 16G turbo. The class allows any engine mods to the stock block etc, as long as the compressor inlet on the turbo is reduced to 34MM. Since I have to make a new reducer for him, I am curious if there is a specific way to design it to have it effect the incoming air as little as possible. It must be within 50 MM of the compressor wheel and a minimum of 3MM thick. The engine doesn't have to be limited to that specific turbo, if there is an advantage to run a different sized turbo based on the restrictor, he will do it. So any ideas or theory is appreciated.

MNRaptor,

I'm curious as to what design you finally chose. Did you test a few designs out and see what worked best?

Cheers
