Help...B16a Conversion

[wynode]

AFAIK, you're not permitted to put older engines into cars; They must be the same year or newer. IIRC, it has something to do with emissions...

Correct.

The engine has to be the same year or newer than the car its going in.

Strangely enough, I went to Imlachs, and asked them about engine conversions.. and he offered a gen 1 b16a in my EG..
I told him it was illegal for an older engine to be placed into my EG..
But he goes..
"Not if the emissions are the same?"

Correct.

The engine has to be the same year or newer than the car its going in.

i keep hearing this but have yet to actually see on the RTA website where it says that you have to use an engine of the same year or newer.

i know this is the law in the US but have yet to read this on australian road traffic websites.
