do i need engineer certificate if i got b18c in to eg GLI?

[Mr Rzz]

hey
do i need engineer certificate if i got b18c in to eg GLI?

is GLI is 1.5 or 1.6?

[bennjamin]

gli = d15b7 = 1493cc
b18 = 1834cc

so that is more than 15%


(1 493 / 100) x 115 = 1716.95cc.....

1716cc is the largest increase in capacity you can go without engineering.

Look at a B16a engine perhaps , or spend more to engineer correct front and rear brakes to suit this larger engine capactiy increase.

15% capacity increase isn't true in vic, that's what i know.

just to be clear so vic peeps don't get confused with other state laws.

[vampzzz]

victorian laws state that if the engine is an increase in displacement, and the engine wasn't an option to the car when the manufacturer released the car then you will need an engineers certificate.

[Sir_vtec]

gli is 1.5

[Mr EG]

How about a Honda Civic Si put in a B18C7, need cert?

EG's never came out in Australia with B-series engines. And B18's never even came out in Civics. So yes, you'll need an engineers cert.

I doubt authorities would know the difference when they look at each motor. If you put a black cam cover on used oem mounts keep it stock looking they wouldn't have a clue.

[bennjamin]

guys everything i stated in the original reply is true. And the OP is in NSW so the +15% "optional engine" fact is correct.

Hang on...
Just checked B18C WIKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_B_engine#B18C2

B18A/B18B = 1834cc
B18C/C1/C2/C7 etc = 1797cc

still exceeds D15B equipped cars

How about a Honda Civic Si put in a B18C7, need cert?

EG VTi/SI = d16y1/D16A9 = 1590cc
B18C = 1797cc
(1590 / 100) x 115 = 1828.5

EG's never came out in Australia with B-series engines. And B18's never even came out in Civics. So yes, you'll need an engineers cert.

EG6 didn't come out in AUS?
Honda Ballade 180i B18B (Never came out in AUS)

SO......... What now?

[vampzzz]

b18b's came out in the integra GSI's did they not?
