For N/A: Tare Weight x3
1038kg x3 = 3.114L Max capicity.

if they came factory with a 6-cyl engine, I *think* you use the higher conversion table

HAHA I pity the fool who wants to stroke his Dodge Viper!
1522Kg X 4.82 = 7336cc... theoretically he shouldnt have the 8L in there!

ok im lost.
it says all veihicles originally having a four as the largest engine(so not this class)
but weighting less than 1100kg(which it does)
then the other one says
vehicles weighting more than 1100kg
shyould there not be another class thats vehicles under 1100kg with 6 and 8 cylinders as stock.
anyway im assuming that being under 1100kg the biggest i can go n/a is 3.1 like what cool1 said.
bummer
but a 1j will fit 
or should i go the 260z with the 1uz not as nice thou me thinks.
as for the cressi yeah sold that a while ago and been back into the ta22s.
just missing the power of the six thou

If you read it correctly it says 4 cyl's and rotaries weighing over 1100kg, 6 cyl, 8 cyl and 12 cyl cars, meaning the weight restriction only applies to 4 cyl or rotary cars.
Meaning for mono constructed chasis with factory 6 cyl engine,
in cubic inches
original weight (1038kg) * 0.294 = 305 cu/i
or in millilitres
original weight (1038kg) * 4.82 = 5l
This is for na engine.
