bubblegoose Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 another engine mount question if i was to make some mounts similar to 'nothingsfree' on his dx would i need to be ticketed or have them tested? just asking as it involves welding to the x member and sure somebody might not like they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 From what I hear, they've brought in a new emissions standard/regulation thingy for certs when swapping an engine. Does anyone have legiti knowledge about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only things that need a ticketed welder are "critical function" items like a brake caliper bracket or a front suspension arm etc, and it has to be TIG i have seen a lot of shitty welds from ticketed welders- usually guys who weld 8mm plate all day then try to weld 1.2mm sheetmetal on a firewall and blow big holes/make budgie blobs errwherr From what I hear, they've brought in a new emissions standard/regulation thingy for certs when swapping an engine. Does anyone have legiti knowledge about this? yes there is an emission standard now, for cars that have had an engine swap. Its not too bad though its really only an air/fuel ratio check plus efi engines have to have all factory sensors etc if it has an original ecu. Plus, if the car was equipped with a cat, and the engine had one originally, then a cat must be fitted. None of this applies to cars with a modified original engine. slip on spacers, certable up to 7mm? or just a no go all together? slip on spacers can be certed. wheel must be located by center spigot, spacer must be single stud pattern, spacer must be attached to wheel or hub, max width 20 mm. those multi 4/5 stud spacers are only good for the bin. "slip on" (spacers) and "bolt on" (adapters) both need cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camo_78 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 hey cletus,got a question about exhausts that exit in front of back wheels.if its a four door is there anyway it can legally be done??just asking coz on one of my projects im thinking about running it out drivers side just in front of rear wheel under back door for something different(for the kind of car it is anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 exhaust must exit perimeter of passenger compartment. so as long as it comes out the side thats fine. the only downfall is getting it quiet enough cause usually that doesnt leave much room for mufflers. ive heard all sorts of made up rules( must exit 12 inches past last opening door, can on 2 door but not on 4 door etc etc i have no idea where they came from) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to clarify: My RX7 has: Original Engine Aftermarket ECU Cat Removed Because it's the original engine, I do not need an emissions check or a Cat? Looking at going for a cert in the very near future, and this is one of my biggest concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 correct. you wont need it. there is a new amendment in the wof book that says it will be illegal to remove a cat, but that only applies to cars 1st registered from sometime in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 yea?? shit i thoguht those were mandatory full stop for some reason. i also see the virm has changed so these is no noise limit for ma and mc cars with a motorsport licence card? more i read siad virm more i realise you can actually do alot without needing a cert , i also realise some stuff you think you wont need a cert for you do . knowledge! . only question i have is i have put ca18det into 910 #1 it wasnt even certed for the de. buut to fit the gearbox without modifiying everything south of the firewall i moved engine forward 30mm i did this with 5 mm plate will this be acceptable?? i also put wedges going from the plate to existing engine mount tower incase it ever wanted to sag . is this ok or should i make it out of a thicker plate to keep everyone happy? . and to get some alignment adjustment in rear im going to have to slot the x member or make a floating bolt and bracket setup much like the 510 datsuns have . any tip on what direction i should take? i know these are prob certifier specific questions making somtehign along the lines will be alot better then making something that is useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 had a look at your build thread - probably ok the way it is, if it was mine id probably weld that 5mm plate to the x member so it cant move at all. as for rear susp- probably have to see it . will have a look at nats if you like.
