In my mind, a 2.5l is a different type to some extent. I can read it your way now. What is a "type"? are all V-motors, 6 or 8 the same type? Are 2 rotors and 3 rotors the same type? I can see "layout" being horizontally opposed vs. V-n, vs. straight, vs. rotary, but am I right, or is limited to rotary vs. piston vs. turbine?

Oh, and in SM, an you own a Mazda, you can swap from rottary to pistons legally, it doesn't sound like you can in TT without the "swap" modifier... Bad analogy maybe?

And since there is no modifier for Turbines, can I run one? OK, the last was a joke, but the rest wasn't
