Room mostly. I do prefer the feel of non boosted brakes too

with brake lines, can it all be AN braid or hardline only.

 

Need to replace oem hardlined sections with hardline. Steel bundy or Copper Nickel, and not that china copper nickel from Temu.

I think you can run all braid if you have logbooked vehicle.

Any Braided hose you have made for the flexis need to be tagged because china.

[shizzl]

Yeah saw the authority card part.

 

yeah don’t want Temu brakes

people that buy any of the materials, hoses, fittings off those ( ali / temu / alibaba etc etc) places all need to be fucking shot. 

yes there is saving money when the ability to during car builds cos yes its fucking stupidly expensive but cmon guys. pull ya damn heads in. 

yes theres lotsa shit that comes from china but at least reputable NZ or AU companies take the warranties and liabities on if supply you these terrible quality things.  and have also done the hard yards to find the better quality shit they're selling you not the rest of it.

[Bearded Baldy]

Exactly.

Overflow bottle? Ali ex

Fuel line? Hell no.

@cletus    toyota 3L to 5L with mechanical pump......... cert needed ?

[cletus]

Technically, yes unfortunately 

If you're going to cert it may as well do a turbo to make it worthwhile 

On a similar note, different type of car-

One that caught me out was a guy had cut the engine mount number pad off and neatly epoxied on one he'd cut offathe original one

I didn't notice until he told me

Check the tables and images bit. Bigger engine = cert time

3l is better than a 5l, those were/still are utter shit (slap in low box to go anywhere uphill)

 

might aswell 1kz it if it’s going through cert

OK. was thinking, being only 200cc bigger and still fecken gutless and same fuel delivery, it would be under threshold.

bloody buggers, when did the CC's stop tasting like cheese ?

once upon a time there was an allowance for increase of both CC and Hp/torques, as long as configuration and engine family remained

[440bbm]

does the extra capacity overrule the 25% hp gain rule?

It's a moving target I guess as people always push the limits of the rules. So they make the rules more and more strict.

A dishonest person might just do the swap and use parts off the 3l to make it look correct and be sure the engine number is sufficiently covered in dirt and oil...

The wof guy might not notice but the insurance assessor might in the event of an accident. How hard do they look at that sort of thing?
