What needs to be done apart from engine and box

to convert a 4k KE55 4speed into a 5speed v6

legal requirements in nsw

car needs to be daily

Power to weight requirements

also any other engines suggested that are 6s

like should i do L27 (VP 3.8l) (130kw) or a LN3 (VN 3.8l) (123kw)

or an L36 (VS 3.8l) (153kw)

 

don't bother sendin me shit about other state legal requirements

I'm goin through it know. apaerntly it can't be done unless your in victoria. comes down to weight vs capacity. lucky I'm in vic and they have their own rules. thats what my engineer says

None of those will be legal in NSW

Been there done that. Put a turbo 4 in it man, Go heaps faster and easy to get legal.

do u kno the limits for the weight vs capacity then in nsw

mite just have to change sum paper work around n live in victoria

thats y i was thinkin the VN motor would work coz it is 123kw

can anyone give me sum RTA or watevs info coz there site just gets me lost

 

decoop give us some info on what u had to go thru would b saweet

If thats the case, then why would you put a 123kw commowhore boat anchor in when you could much easier put in for example a 4age 20v which has 120kw factory standard and weighs probably half as much.

 

Keep the handling of the car as well as the power increase :no2:

 

BTW punctuation, spelling and no sms talk go a long way around here too :hmm:

 

Edit - And it would also be engineerable then as well

One word - torque.

 

That, and 20v RWD conversions are fairly annoying.

That was just an example, even a SR20de non turbo puts out around the same kw with more torque being the 2L

once again engineerable power and then add the turbo version if you wanted and shitloads more hp and torque

Under the federal laws you can engineer 4 x the capacity. So it is possible to make it legal. QLD just went to the federal code, so It is feasible that the other states may follow suit. But yeah, if you like corners, there's piles of better conversions out there. 3VZ-FE is an overlooked option, but are a little bit like a 7M when it comes to gaskets.

I was implying that people put the V6 in for the torque, which is heaps more than you'll get out of a 20v, SR20 or just about anything else N/A for the price.

As far as I am aware, NSW has not adopted the NCOP.

thanks guys

 

mitsubishi produced a 1.6l miovec 4g92

that has 128kw

 

a guy the other day was postin about a mirage conversion

at this stage QLD still uses its own code so X by 3 for na ke55 sed is 930kg so even if you use national code 930 X 4 = 3720cc so how can they be legal. here,s a quiz for you name the car manufactures that still produce petrol engines with pushrods, i think it,s GM and lada,

At current QT has indicated 1 July 2009 as the date we will commence using

the NCOP.

 

Initially 1 January 2009 was the proposed date, however the AMVCB was not

able to produce a finalised verison of the code that Queensland was

willing to legislate.

One of the top hits on google atm. Yes it is happening. Putting a decent sized motor in your corolla will be an option in QLD in the coming months. In my opinion any federal law supersedes a state law.

 

Well it looks like you need a 3.6L 180kw alloytech motor for it to be legal then ... what a shame.

Nope. Doesn't work like that.

 

The state has to become a signitory to the code. ATM it looks like NSW isn't going to adopt it, and one or two others may not as well.

 

To give you an example, The National Traffic code came about in 1996-ish and was meant to standardise the traffic rules across the country. Only Qld and S.A signed up to that one.

Reminds me of the new metal health funding legislation that's meant to be coming in. If your state doesn't ratify to the protocol, making a dope smoker as bad in the laws eyes as a heroin junky, your state won't get there cut of the pie. One day the right people might get a grip that the world will never be a Utopian wonderland, only people with no real experience of the world are so naive.
