Nominal Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I sure J5 has asked it before, but now its my turn. How legal is this kinda carryon? http://offroadingsubarus.com/6stud_conversion.html Theres no way my brumby is going to get a cert so it must be wofable or i wont bother.

cletus Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 im looking at bias pedal boxes for my escort, is there anything I need to watch out for when buying one with regards to welds etc? having a balance bar is OK for a road car? will the car have to recerted? yes, yes and yes. one commonly available escort pedal box has a welded box section pedal which is no good for cert purposes. might be better to look at a wilwood or tilton type pedal box. if you are putting injection on your engine, it would be a good time to recert it when you have done all of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 So I bought a driveshaft loop but I've just realised I have two dirty big resonators in the way. Thusly: What's a boy to do? Shit's goan get messy innit. the loop doesnt have to be round- could you make it flat cross the bottom to clear the mufflers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 OK sweet, pressed pedals for the box Can you clip efi fuel lines with plastic clips or do they need to be metal? specifically I would be looking at this style http://www.nz.stauff.com/index.php?id=5926 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Any issue with swapping a KMh speedo to a MPH speedo? 85 model car if that makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdylan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Quick question about engine swaps and head swaps. 1) If i put a 20v 4a into a smallport 92 does it NEED to be cert as the power output is not above 20% and its a 4a engine? 2) if above does need a cert if i replace the 16v head with a 20v head,and change the pistons would that be better as its the original 4a block. Confused as we did a 20v swap into a 92 and the WOF guy said he needed a cert unless he just did a head swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just say you did do a head swap, he won't be able to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdylan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just say you did do a head swap, he won't be able to tell the difference. That was the point, how can a whole engine swap need a cert but changing the head doesnt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Same way that putting alloy heads on a sbc doesn't need cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Dose anyone have a link to ruels or have any info about roll cages? Someone I know has 2 cars he wants to put on the road but I don't think it can be done with out major problems as they have home made full roll cages.

JoKer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 home made is fine as long as it meets His local car club regs (pictures of unpainted cage welds are required) and has been homologated and he runs at least 3-5 events a year and has authority card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Quick question about engine swaps and head swaps. 1) If i put a 20v 4a into a smallport 92 does it NEED to be cert as the power output is not above 20% and its a 4a engine? 2) if above does need a cert if i replace the 16v head with a 20v head,and change the pistons would that be better as its the original 4a block. Confused as we did a 20v swap into a 92 and the WOF guy said he needed a cert unless he just did a head swap. A WOF guy saying something, doesn't make it correct. 20% rule applies to modifications of the current engine, nothing to do with a new engine. Swapped in engine needs to make the same or less power than the one it replaces. So you're out of luck there too. Here is the list for replacement engines, you have to meet all of them, not just some. when compared with the OE engine, the replacement engine:– is of the same or less cubic capacity, and – has equal or less weight, and – has the same or less power output, and – uses the same fuel (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG), and – uses the same unmodified attachment points and system (ie bolts-in), and – uses the same family of block and cylinder head from the same vehicle manufacturer, and – is of the same configuration.

Yowzer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Changing the block (from any 4A to any other 4A) would not require a cert, changing the head would, unless the number of valves doesn't actually matter? Pretty sure you could swap between any 16V head with no issues, but going 20V will require a cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I thought it was down to head design. can't replace sohc with dohc etc. since it's from the same FAMILY of engine though (dohc multivalve 4a) then shoudl be sweet? The induction may require a cert, though, if you're going ITBs vs. a single throttle body am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 20% power increase needs cert anyway. amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdylan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 But 4age 16v smallport vs silvertop 20v isn't over the 20%. Ltsa favours Honda. Makes it hard for the rest of us. They can drop a b18c in with no cert into a eg sir, yet us Toyota fans are screwed. Its a outrage. My brother in law took his eg to get cert in Auckland where he lives and the guy said he didn't need as same engine family. Yet asked the same about the 82 and he said i needed a cert. Its just biased. makes it hard to support Toyota. I don't agree with it, 4 extra valves should not mean a cert. going to the gze should tho. Cheers for the answers guys.
