If Puerto Ricans use the 2tc and 3tc in 1.6-1.8 litres for
800hp then surely a third of this number can be had with
a third less the capacity.
A properly setup L series turbo in a 1600 in the states
has one all the coveted racing club classes against modern
supercars of superior multivalve turbo technology.
After winning all the tophies available a special trophy
was made to honor the achievement.
Dont understimate old motors in the right hands.

One truly inspiring Datsun story involves Tom Wyatt III, otherwise known as Turbo Tom. Turbo tom built a rather fast Turbo powered L20b Datsun 510 and entered in the "Walter Mitty" at Road Atlanta one year. The engine developed 275 horsepower at 21 pounds of boost for drag racing, with 250 more like it on the track. It featured at T04 Rotomaster Turbo and 4150 Holley carb set up.
SCCA officials started him out in class with similar style cars, but had to keep moving up in class as he blew the doors off each increasingly powerful group of cars. By the end of the day he was racing with the Corvettes and Cobras. He beat a Porsche 930 on a lap by nine seconds, and a race prepped 427 Cobra by 3 seconds. The race staff didn't know what to do, so they gave him a custom made trophy instead of embarrassing one of the more prestigious classes.
