EG with b16a/b18c engine

[TONTON]

Hey if i were to buy an EG with an engine-swap... could it be legal?- for a p-plater?

Since the EG6 did have a b16 engine =D

I know im a p-plater, but i heard you rarely get done for engine swaps, especially if you dont draw attention to yourself and make it look relatively stock...

[dsp26]

legal as long as displacement increase is less than 15% for NSW...

a B16a/B18b2/B18c2/B18c7 are all blue-slippable options

[TONTON]

Ok cool, because i read somewhere that it is also legal to put a B16 in a EJ8 since the EM1 and the EK4 both had b16 engines...

[DvS-]

from what ive read, some people said its not allowed for p platers, and some say it is..
best to call RTA and ask them or something..

[Limbo]

yeah from my reading P platers are not allowed to drive modified cars.
The eg did not come out b16 in AU.
For blue slipping they look at capacity & power, and it will pass.
But for a P plater they look whether or not the car is modified

[dsp26]

really now? lol that suxorz for them i guess

[bennjamin]

yup i have also "heard" that any modification is illegal for any p platers in NSW.
This includes a replacement engine even of the same capacity or year model (say b16a2 etc)

It's illegal. EG6 is not an aussie car so that excuse wont work. Do a search. It's been asked many a time.

[TONTON]

Sweet, i did a search, just wanted to verify it, since laws change etc.

Thanks ppls
