they are all the same size for the rear disc equiped egs in australia so i can see how they can be different
any way use what you think is right
i wouldnt use a 30/40 prop valve if you know how they work

sorry for the noob question... but whats the difference between a 30/40 and a 40/40 PV? what does that mean?
lots of replies, i didnt read thru all of it, so if i repeat what other mention, purely not copying.
when i swap my engine, i use the brake set up from the half cut, which is a vtir DC2, my rear was still running drum at that time. it was fine. then i change the pads to EBC green, enough for most cases. then i didnt like the look of it, so i changed the rear drum to EK vtir disc brake. cost me 600 included installation and parts. and i think my brakes are up for the jobs.
o btw, u dont need to go thru pits for that set up. i had a EG3 breeze coverted to b18c, all i did was to go to dpi, tell them i have changed the engine, they gave me this form to fill up, i said my old engine is 80 hp, new engine is 120hp, they believed it, at the end, it didnt cost me anything. now my engine is registed unfer this car. :P
Also, i am in WA, i am guessing u r in WA too as ur name suggested. so give it a try :P
...registered.. but not legal ;) u used the change of engine number form which is only for same capacity engine swap.. is meant for a replacement engine of the same type but it limits HP increase to 20HP I think.. and same configuration (1.6L, fuel injected).Quote:

(they can do this for illegal tint also so meh !)
Just because I am saying this doesnt mean i am up on my soapbox, I am just letting you know.. with al lthe b-series swaps these days, sooner or later they will have a database of engine codes and real HP and there wont be any gettin around it.
i tthink that actually the engine number change. i cant reemember what form it was.Quote:

the thing is that they have accepted my form, i could be a no-car-sense-or-anything-about-car guy, i could say the shop suggested me to do so simply because i dont know anything about car, and the engine blow up, so i changed the engine.
whatever it is, my rego form is written the b18c engine anyway, and it has been a year, no problems at all. but i understand what u r saying,
at the end of the day, i am just going to pay dumb :P
o also, i filled up the form saying the new engine is 1.8, the old one is 1.3, they didnt ask for a engineer cert.
eg vti rear disc brakes and dc/ek vtir rear disc brakes same size? rotors and calipers?
cheers
Cant u use accord or prelude brakes?
