But the LMP2 diesel rules limit what you can do: head cylinders, valves, pistons, connecting rods can not be modified.

So you can basically remove some excess weight on the block, change crankshaft to get max displacement + desired compression ratio, change valve timing with camshaft and add two stage turbo.
