im pretty sure you need to get a epa test done first, they will set you back ~$700. vicroads will have a list of all the certified engineers in vic. they know there shit so no point bullshitting them, also most dont answer many questions over the phone, they rather you made a appointment and charge you $100p/hr to talk to them.
Yup EPA first but its free in Sydney
161.4KW ATW Tuned By TODA EG5 JDM B16A SiR-II TURBO
so no one can tell bby experience in vicctoria huh
not from direct experience, but my mate got it done for his turbo hilux, so it should be similar. for his epa test, they test for emissions,noise etc, it should be more in depth than a normal epa test you get after a defect notice for ~$700.
engineers he needed to upgrade his engine mounts/suspension to support the extra weight, nothing effecting the struture of the chassis (eg. if its been cut it has to be reinforced. i think he had 2 holes for cooler piping). lastly a brake fade test to handle the extra power, they rev to certain rpm and brake..repeatedly. i think that was about it. while thats all happening its ~$100p/hr and about $500 just for them to write up a certificate(i had one done up for compliance).
then your usual RWC stuff like height etc
so you can see why some people dont even bother as they can still get done by cops eg. nah your car seeems to be too loud etc, wack defected!
Fossil: come to sydney get it done, then drive back
Bring me the fenders while your at it
yeh doesnt work like that, spoke to my tuner who done his crx turbo a while back, you need a engineers and a ADR approval, he said it cost him about 14k to pass (heaps of shit to modify to suit the new appication)
i thought he said 5-6k to me before or i must have heard/red wrong... this is blkcrx (james that does hondata/hondatech.com.au) good bloke... i didnt think it cost that much, epa i think was 2g back then plus the cert, but if u fail the epa you have to fork out more money again, but then it could be right cos he had to hire out the epa facility, just 14k sounds heaps!
yeh that james. the 14k was to get your car ADR approved (this was years ago) epa should be ~700, eng is ~500 for the cert+what ever else he has to do. i dont think there is any other way to get your car properly registered with turbo etc cos we dont have "mod plates" like in other states.
