Tuner Category Intake - Full Rules
In addition to the Sport Category allowed modifications, the following modifications may be made to Tuner Category vehicle intakes:
1. Intercoolers
As utilized only on engines originally equipped with forced induction, induction charge heat exchangers (also known as “intercoolers” or “charge air coolers” [CACs]) are unrestricted in size and configuration and are subject to the following restrictions:
1. Air-to-air CACs and radiators for air-to-liquid CACs must be cooled only by the atmosphere except for standard parts.
2. Body panels, fascias, or structural members may not be cut or altered to facilitate CAC installation.
2. Charge Pipes
Charge pipes may be modified or replaced. Replacement charge pipes may delete or block off factory pipes designed to enhance intake sounds (“noisemakers”). Modification or deletion of vehicle components (e.g. plastic shrouds, wheel well liners) to permit routing of alternate charge pipes is not allowed.
3. Compressor Bypass Valves
Compressor Bypass Valves (CBVs), blow-off valves, and pop-off valves may be replaced or modified.
