I was talking to matt at mr enfocer the other day he said that after december laws are being changed and the 1.3 turbo will not be able to be road worthy if this is true HURRY UP PEOPLE

do you know if its going to be for majority of jap+old car conversions or just tighter power to weight laws

tighter power to wieght on some vehcles this came about by a mate getting rb25 in gemini at enforcer some cars are being relaxed others tightened 4efte are going to hold a good value though

I hope your kidding

I will never get done by then... Do you know what the laws are changing to???

He's not kidding..it's long overdue

Just stricter power to weight ratio's...so no more 1300cc turbo's in mini's..

Don't quote me but I think you are talking about the new unified national code that this being introduced by DOTARS. Strictly speaking it has to be ratified (accpeted) by each state and territory but I dare say this will be a formality. Here is the link:

Read it a while back alot hasn't changed from the NSW laws though some are stricter...

Cheers

Capacity becomes original weight x 2.5 in cc for turbo vehicles and x 3.0 for NA

If that is right then there is no problem with a 1.3L turbo in a mini

Excrement. Anybody know how much a Clubby windowless van weighs?

The 2.5 x the origional tare weight for turbos has been in for a while here in NSW...

The new regs were in NSW as of the Jan this year and also in Vic the other states have yet to accept them, the rules of engine changes has not changed in these new regs, its still the same as it has been for a few years now it might just be mr enforcers engineer is not prepared to signoff on them anymore, they do get funny from time to time the guy who did Matts(minstars) car is also able to do cars in NSW so if mr enforcer cant maybe talk to someone else

using there rules a mini would be able to have a 1700cc turbo engine or there abouts or a 2100cc NA engine

I dont think the 4EFTE passed ADR emissions anymore. I had a look at them for another project and thats what I was told. I didnt think it p/w related.

Ahhhh, that makes some sense. They were pushing the post '86 ULP engines.
Better get off my arse & finish a couple of projects...

When putting one of these engines in a mini it only has to pass the ADR emissions of the engine date, it only has to pass current tests when you place it in a ICV like a clubman sportscar then it is considered anew car not a modified vehicle
