Full porting service (ports reshaped, runners modified), UIM

UIM never permits porting below GP1 in either division.

This page is UIM only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under 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.

IJSBA opens full porting at Superstock. UIM does not open it until GP1. Porting work sold to a UIM racer below GP1 is money spent on an illegal ski.

Where it stands, class by class

24 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. 8 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.

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 5 classes

No internal engine modifications of any kind; ports may not be cleaned with abrasive material.

No rule published for this class 8 classes

No component rules are published for this class and no single parent class is named, so this part cannot be answered for it. That is an absence in the rulebook, not a permission.
