SLO-030 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 i think you'll find that most places wont allow a 13B let alone a 13BT due to power to weight. PLus i have a feeling the engineer doesnt play as much of a part in it as state legislation does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regulations are based around vehicle mass and engine capacity, not power/weight. Take a look at the RTA Light Vehicle Modification guidelines and that'll tell you exactly how big an engine you can fit etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) guys you got to understand there are ways around doing stuff like this ;) how do you think all the cars in Sydney and Melbourne get driven on the streets lol... when you got the cash to do an engine conversion, you got the cash to get it on the road... and remember Adelaide is still the most relaxed and always has been about modifications etc etc Edited August 22, 2009 by Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13BT_KE20 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 another important note is alot the cars with these conversions were engineered years ago when the laws were different, trying to engineer the same set-up now might not be possible due to these changes in the law. Best example of this is all the engineered RX3/808's with 13BT, can't legally do it anymore though (some people say you very could but more dodgy stuff went on back in the day....)

KNG_555 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 i had a 13bbp in my mazda 808 (850kgs) and thats was plenty of power!!!, but 13bt was not aloud :P 12at good to as its a 1.3L and revs harder than a 13b (can get upto 13k rpm!!!) i still reakon go for the rotary as they sound crazy!!! but don't forgot ur neighbors will become shitty..from personal expierance.....so maybe v6 better choice o.O?

36panvan Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 ^^^^that red 30 is utterly insane :P I like the idea of a decent 12a over the v6, would sound much nicer and maintain driveability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
