Phil, what are the normal kinds of modifications allowed on the pickups in the race? Anything at all? What sort of hp would they put out, and 0-100 times?

What are the normal kinds of modifications allowed on the pickups in the race? Anything at all? What sort of hp would they put out, and 0-100 times?

Stock versions of these 2.5 liter turbo diesel engines are rated between 140-160 horsepower before racing modifications; suppose teams are doubling output with the numerous different types of turbo, intercooler, fuel system and engine modifications being made.

SuperPickupThailand rules are published in Thai. From conversations had with many team mechanics, rules for entrance into SuperTruck class include:

Pickup truck manufacture for public sales with make no longer than 5 years old.

Diesel commonrail engine capacity 2.5L or less, 4 cyl only, either 2or4 wheel drive, either 2or4 door body.

Modifications inside engine allowed freely, but must remain within factory short block and cylinder head.

Turbo charger, Intercooler, additions, modifications, allowed; additional radiators allowed.

Total weight including driver and racing equipment used throughout racing, qualifying not less than 1,400 kg.

Exhaust emissions must remain within standard Thai law. Emission tests are inspected after qualifying and race end.

Tires used are distributed by organizer (BF Goodrich – G Force), 8 tires are allowed for qualifying and race, of both wet and dry surface.

Suspension modifications allowed as long as factory mounting points are used.

Transmission , Axel modifications allowed (ratios, clutch disc, clutch cover, flywheel changed freely), also a different transmission manufacture other than truck type can be used but needs to be available to public for distribution.

Brakes, drums can be changed to disc brake systems. ABS systems are not allowed.

Safety equipment: must have 6 points min roll bar, side impact protection must be installed on driver side. Safety belts at least 4 points, racing style driver seat must be used.

Vehicle must have towing points; front and rear with diameter of at less 80mm not exceed 100mm.

Fuel shut off valve, and battery disconnect switch must be installed, location clearly labeled on the outside of vehicle.

Believe that about covers it. If anyone has copy of official technical spec in English please share, I would greatly appreciate digesting them.
