Turbo Installation / engine cert needed?

[Fo55il]

Hey pplz -

If i boost my car, what do i have to do to keep it legal?
so dat cos dont annoy and bother me?

im in victoria ...

[NightKids]

Let's boost our cars together i'm from MELB too, let me know how it goes

[Q_ball]

Turbo honda will always = trouble from cops in some way or another...especially with that pink bumper of urs LOL

Best to have a sleeper if u want minimal cop attention.

Back on topic though, yes u would require an engineers cert for the setup to be legalised.

[[ricer]]

cops can still pick on you even with an engineer certificate

[Fo55il]

lol - its not a pink bumper - d car is pink - qballs

N where do i organise a cert from + what needs to be done so dat my car passes the cert ...

+

How can it be 100% prrof so dat cops dun bother me ...
ive only ever been pulled over twice in 6 months lol

[Q_ball]

Where - that maybe better suited for someone from VIC to answer...

Cops - ur never gonna get em off ur case.
You can still get defected with an engineers...i know for a fact in NSW,
However, with engineers, you have a much stronger point to give the cops, and a much easier time in passing your car again.

Off topic but are you a dingley boy Fo55il??

[Jarkz]

As Qball said keeping things legal is best but I know of others (I'll mention one friend) who turbocharged his BMW 4 years ago & still owns it to date & has never had a problem. His FMIC has been sprayed black along with IC piping & a Black "stealth" Turbosmart BOV.

As Qball also mentioned having a sleeper (besides rims of course) Helps:thumbsup:

[Fo55il]

hmm welll ... plans are for d fmic and pipes to be black anywyas ... ...

since my car is 2 toned it shouldnt look too obvious ....

what i wanted to kno is that aht problem i may have if i want to get a cert .. is there standard that muct be achieved?

im boosting my car not upgrading brakes or antyhin else ...

feel me ?

[1996ek1]

Do yous think,

rims(not chrome or anything that stands out alot) + lowered + front and rear lips would attract alot of cop attention?

I'd think they'd be out looking for the cars with bodykits, loud exhausts and chrome wheels etc

[1996ek1]

Na your brakes should be alright

You have to do an EPA test - i think it cost you some $$ down there, its free in sydney - to check your cars emissions and that its not too loud.

then for the engineering cert. it self.

Although it might be a good idea to upgrade brakes, im sure you'll be using the extra power, but you would more then likely pass with regular brakes

[Jarkz]

As long as your using good working order parts, tuned properly, a exhaust thats not to loud, custom brackets for IC pipes, FMIC & intake etc there should'nt be a problem.

The only person off the top of my head regarding engine swap or modification engineers in Melb is Modproject.

[Fo55il]

hmmm yeah they just around the corner from me ...

hmmm ... my car is not too loud .. untill vtec kicks in ;)

but besides that its prett quiet ...

[Jarkz]

Your car may be actually quieter once the turbo is installed if you use a quality Exhaust & mufflers.

BTW... what's this going on d16 or b16?

[1996ek1]

d16 and i can tell you it will DEFFINATLEY be quieter than what it is now, unless you get a larget exhaust made up.

[Limbo]

still quieter even with the big exhaust ;)

[Fo55il]

so no one can give mea figure on how much its gon cost?

[Mingy]

i have a q, whats a sleeper？

[vinnY]

i have a q, whats a sleeper？

seemingly boring car with some go attached

[Fo55il]

lol - its a car taht looks completely stock or looks like crap but has engine work done on it. do decieve other drivers / cops ...

[tRipitaka]

im boosting my car not upgrading brakes or antyhin else ...


what sort of power output are you aiming for ?

regardless, you should still upgrade your brakes..

safety first.

[Fo55il]

dats true - im lookin at bout 100-110Kw ..
low boost ..

for the time being im only boosting it, when more money come s my way ill be upgrading brakes .. next

[Limbo]

that's easy to get, you should be aim for more than that.

You coming to Syd? i really want those fenders.
I'll be doing my writeup on my build. Sponsor by Performance Exhaust.
Even then its pretty expensive as things come up

[Fo55il]

ahah yeah bro - nah thats what my initial aim is.. but wen i achieve that ill be aiming higher ..

Im not 100% sure but i think my heads worked, but i havent gotten a chance to check it out yet ...
+
dun kno what to look for

but the guy i bought it off said it was ...

but if i cum to sydney ill def bring the fenders ..

:)

if i dont then ill be customising them for mine :P

[Limbo]

rodfl.
Ok let me see turbo build all depends on your budget.
The cheapest tunned with full ECU is about $4k mark give or take.
i've seen 2 other builds.
first was 7k built without tune
second was 14k with the works made 11s on 1/4

P.S i might drive down one weekend. Just need to plan times

[Lukezen27]

[Fo55il]
