decoop Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Been there done that. Put a turbo 4 in it man, Go heaps faster and easy to get legal. Quote
NWSslider Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 do u kno the limits for the weight vs capacity then in nsw mite just have to change sum paper work around n live in victoria thats y i was thinkin the VN motor would work coz it is 123kw can anyone give me sum RTA or watevs info coz there site just gets me lost decoop give us some info on what u had to go thru would b saweet Quote

Keep the handling of the car as well as the power increase :no2: BTW punctuation, spelling and no sms talk go a long way around here too :hmm: Edit - And it would also be engineerable then as well Edited February 25, 2009 by KE ping it real Quote

One word - torque. That, and 20v RWD conversions are fairly annoying. Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 One word - torque. That, and 20v RWD conversions are fairly annoying. That was just an example, even a SR20de non turbo puts out around the same kw with more torque being the 2L once again engineerable power and then add the turbo version if you wanted and shitloads more hp and torque Quote
beerhead Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Under the federal laws you can engineer 4 x the capacity. So it is possible to make it legal. QLD just went to the federal code, so It is feasible that the other states may follow suit. But yeah, if you like corners, there's piles of better conversions out there. 3VZ-FE is an overlooked option, but are a little bit like a 7M when it comes to gaskets. Quote

As far as I am aware, NSW has not adopted the NCOP. Edited February 25, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist Quote
NWSslider Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 thanks guys mitsubishi produced a 1.6l miovec 4g92 that has 128kw a guy the other day was postin about a mirage conversion how bout a lancer conversion Quote

beerhead Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 At current QT has indicated 1 July 2009 as the date we will commence usingthe NCOP. Initially 1 January 2009 was the proposed date, however the AMVCB was not able to produce a finalised verison of the code that Queensland was willing to legislate.

Yes it is happening. Putting a decent sized motor in your corolla will be an option in QLD in the coming months. In my opinion any federal law supersedes a state law. Well it looks like you need a 3.6L 180kw alloytech motor for it to be legal then ... what a shame. Quote

Well it looks like you need a 3.6L 180kw alloytech motor for it to be legal then ... what a shame. Nope. Doesn't work like that. The state has to become a signitory to the code. ATM it looks like NSW isn't going to adopt it, and one or two others may not as well. To give you an example, The National Traffic code came about in 1996-ish and was meant to standardise the traffic rules across the country. Only Qld and S.A signed up to that one. Quote
beerhead Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Reminds me of the new metal health funding legislation that's meant to be coming in. If your state doesn't ratify to the protocol, making a dope smoker as bad in the laws eyes as a heroin junky, your state won't get there cut of the pie. One day the right people might get a grip that the world will never be a Utopian wonderland, only people with no real experience of the world are so naive. Quote
