You shouldn't need a mod plate as its only a 200cc increase in displacement. Double check, but pretty sure anything <500cc from original is ok.
Since your in QLD,
As mentioned, u dont need the mod plate due to 1.6 to 1.8l.
Though it would be best to get a mod plate done for the engine mounts, gbox, etc etc. its best to be safe than sorry with the friendlys.
Whats $60 bux for a mod plate vs a copers fine/defect?
U cant trust the system anymore... Always changing constantly
true cheers for the info guys what about registering it to the car? is that done just thru motor reg dept?
If ur going to mod plate it, do that first.
Then RWC, then go to QT to register the car..
have a few more questions but im pretty sure i already know the answers too, when doing the b swap is it possible to use the d series drive shafts? besides engines mounts and ecu what else is needed im pretty sure my ek is obd2 if im not mistaken should i try get an ecu to fit that? will the stock (which im pretty sure its what i have atm) one fit the b series? im new to this whole thing so the more people can help out the better
You will need b-series driveshafts. Think the d-series are little bit too long?
The d-series EK ecu & plug is different. The plugs themselves almost look like the obd1 plugs and there's only 2. You will need to get EK4 loom for direct plug and play. (with a b series obd2 ecu of course) Also with obd2 ecu's you will need to disable the immobiliser. Theres a DIY on this forum by ECU-MAN that shows you how to do. Pretty straight forward steps.
some big misinformation here...
You will need a mod plate for 1.6L -->1.8L as it is over a 10% displacement increase, ie: 10% of 1.6L = .16L total 1.76L max capacity before mod plating.
cool cheers for the info guys :) but is that pretty much all thats needed?
pretty much. do you have the shift linkages? the eg/dc ones feel nicer than the ek ones. But main thing is, disable immo and try and get ek4 engine harness for easement. Unless you are prepared to do some re-wiring. If you need help with immo delete, can shoot me a PM and give you a hand :)
link to the DIY immo delete fyi:

I'm not sure what the law is here on engine swaps on QLD, check the dept of transport.
U need engine harness and ECU.
I have an EM1 B16a full dash loom of ur interested
thanks mike not too sure what engine im going as of yet ive found a half cut dc5 for 3k so im thinking about going the k swap not too sure :S is the k swap the same as a B or is there alot more modding involved?
