[VIC]registradion of new engine

[Symphorced]

All you need is a RWC.
Don't listen to all these jokers.
If it's already registered, all you need is a roadworthy, take it to VicRoads, hope to god they don't check the engine number against the car and you should be sweet.

Eeerr what? That's what everyone else has already said.

If it's already engineered then I dont think you'll need to get a VASS. Best to clarify with VicRoads though.

I have called vicroads, they have advised me if the engine is already registered with the vehicle in another state. You wont have a problem transferring it over to victoria

If the car has CURRENT rego.
Just gotta register it here and hope they dont check engine numbers.

Even then it doesn't matter because the engine is already registered to the chassis (despite it being done interstate).

sorry to bump this back up.

just another similar question but this time, the vehicle is unregistered so either way ill need to go to vicroads for an inspection
but upon doing that I also wanted to do an engine conversion, nothing like a B16 or anything, just a D15B4 dual carb to a ZC.
I was reading on VicRoads about change of engines and it states 2 options:
Replacement engine is identical to the original engine, or is an option allowed by the manufacturer for the same model vehicle and Replacement engine is not of a type offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option.

so how are we to verify that its a 'option' for the vehicle?
but either way, is it true ill still need an engineers certificate and a VASS certificate right? (not sure if its the same thing or not)

thanks for any help

If the replacement engine was an option from the dealership then no need for engineering certificate. Just go take it to VicRoads and they'll register the engine to the chassis.

For example: You can go from a D16a8 to a D16y1 in an EG Civic as the D16y1 is from the EG Vti. However, you will need it engineered if you're going to a D16y4 because it was not released for the EG, only the EK.

What if i swap d15b4 to d16a8. if i get rwc with out changing rear brakes to drums. will they pass it in vic roads ??

D16a8 into an EG Civic GL will be fine and not require engineering cert.

GL brakes are already drums. I think you mean changing to discs? They only check that kind of stuff if you need it to be engineered. In this case, it will not be relevant.

You will need a recipt with the engine number written on it, and thats it.

Have you read this thread at all?

Will b20 in an ef8 (originally b16) need a VASS?

cannot clearly decipher this by reading vicroads site.

Change of engine
1. Replacement engine is identical to the original engine, or is an option allowed by the manufacturer for the same model vehicle
The optional engine must be offered in Australia by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle (or certified variants). The change of engine may be recorded by VicRoads provided that the registered operator or a motor mechanic, or dealer in that make of vehicle or an Automotive Engineer signs a declaration certifying the engine is optional for the vehicle model, and that all modifications made by the manufacturer for the same vehicle model with that optional engine have been completed.

You will need to attend a VicRoads Customer Service Centre to have the vehicle's engine inspected to confirm the new engine details. No appointment is required. You will also need to complete a Change of Vehicle Description form.


2. Replacement engine is not of a type offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle or where alterations, or changes to the vehicle's frame or structure are made, and/or specially fabricated supports or structures are used
You will need to attend a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for an inspection of the vehicle to confirm the new engine details. You will also need to complete a Change of Vehicle Description form and provide VicRoads with:

• a VASS Approval Certificate from a VicRoads Vehicle Assessment Signatory
• an original receipt for the purchase of the engine as proof of ownership of the engine

3. Replacement engine is not of a type and/or make offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle, but is equivalent in general configuration, power, mass, and emissions standard to that of the original or an optional engine for the vehicle model and can be installed without any structual alterations.
The change of engine may be recorded by VicRoads provided that the registered operator or a motor mechanic, or dealer in that make of vehicle or an Automotive Engineer signs a declaration certifying that all modifications made by the manufacturer for the same vehicle model with that engine, have been completed.
A Change of Vehicle Description form must be completed providing new engine details. An inspection to confirm engine details is also required unless a Certificate of Roadworthiness or VASS Approval Certificate including the new engine number is provided (only for a currently registered Victorian vehicle). An original receipt for the purchase of the engine must be provided as proof of ownership of the engine.
When a VASS Approval Certificate has been supplied for a replacement engine, then an equivalent replacement engine can be fitted without another VASS Approval Certificate being presented (eg 350 c.i. V8 engine replaced with 350 c.i. V8 engine).
