Same source as why a b18c7 or b18c2 can be installed into a EG or EK chassis , and not need to be engineered. Because the brakes and emissions can cope with the engine and that the chassis is essentially the same. This comes under "replacement engine".

yeah , research abit on this forum - a very common mod is a b16a2 or b18c7 in a EG or EK - fairly standard job but uses only a handful of replacement parts and its good as in the car. Ofcourse you will require to update the new engines details with your chassis - this is done via a blueslip (adjustment of records) and is easy. Anyway we are venturing off topic sorry !

You'd be suprised now many insurance companies dont care about brake upgrades, or they dont charge extra, because as far as they are concerned it's an safety upgrade, better in their eyes.

they do care about brakes and suspension, if it doesn't meet ADR standards, it is deemed unroadworthy if the upgrades outside of OEM is not engineered!
