UIM · Forced induction

Aftermarket intercooler, UIM

UIM answers this part for 13 of its classes, and publishes no rule for it in 8 more. 0 of those answers permit the part outright and 1 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 12 that do not. 5 of the ones that do not are classes we read as open rather than as refusing it. 5 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part. 6 are inherited from a parent class the rulebook points at.

This page is UIM only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IHRA and IJSBA. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.

This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound by whichever body sanctions the event you enter. If you race more than one series, build to the stricter answer. The differences are set out in the rulebook comparison.

Where it stands, class by class

21 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. 6 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.

What each answer below means

Not legal

This comes off. The rules refuse it in this class.

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.

No rule, this is an open class

Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.

No rule published for this class

Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.

Not legal 6 classes

Only atmospheric engines are eligible, so the class admits no turbocharger or supercharger for this part to serve.
