Class Legality

IJSBA · Forced induction

Aftermarket turbocharger or supercharger, IJSBA

Where allowed, the water-jacketed housing requirement is absolute.


Where it stands, class by class

14 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.

What each answer below means

Not legal
This comes off. The rules refuse it in this class.
OEM part required
This comes off. Only the part the manufacturer fitted is allowed here.
Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
The rules do not say
Unanswered. The rules do not settle this, so ask the club before you rely on it.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
Legal
Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.

Not legal 1 class

ONLY OEM HOMOLOGATED NATURALLY ASPIRATED FOUR STROKE ENGINES ARE ALLOWED.

OEM part required 1 class

Factory forced induction only, and frozen: no modification to any part of the system. · RAS.9.1

OEM part required 1 class

RAL.5.1 keeps the turbocharger or supercharger impeller housing stock as furnished, so the unit itself stays OEM. Every internal part, the pulleys, tensioners and intercoolers may be modified or aftermarket, with a spacer for a larger impeller where nothing else must change, which makes it a modified OEM unit rather than an aftermarket one. · RAL.5.1

Not permitted, not listed in the rules 3 classes

No clause allows a turbocharger or supercharger, changes not listed are not permitted, and the intake rule bars any change to the airflow downstream of the airflow sensor.

The rules do not say 1 class

No forced-induction section located in SKSS.

Legal, with conditions 1 class

Four-stroke forced induction up to 950cc. No boost cap recoverable.

Legal, with conditions 1 class

Allowed on engines up to 1100cc. Boost relief valve required. Turbo housing must be full circulating water-jacket type whenever the engine runs. The boost figures in SKGP.9.3 contradict each other, so none is quoted here.

Legal, with conditions 1 class

Four-stroke 1100cc or less only. Boost relief valve set to release above 12.00 PSI, +/-1 PSI tolerance, never above 13.00 PSI. · SPGP.9.1

Legal 1 class

Aftermarket units allowed AND may be retrofitted to an originally naturally aspirated craft. · RSS.6.1
