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.

So? 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.

thanks mate yeah illbe lookign in to it this week

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

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....)

just rang my engernerr i can get the 13btubro enegnerred witch is a positve, but nowim changing my mind and thinking about going v6 with 'come' side mount super charger would be a nice little toy qucik and fast, any one seen it done I'm tyrign to get somepics for refernce ??????????????????????

 

 

ow and picked up my wheels to hmmmmmmmm 17inch simons red hot lol

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?

nah 13BT man been done in ke30 shape heaps and heaps of times!!!

3rd post down...

 

He's a member here too, tassie guy. username rolla13bt :P

^^^^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.

hey just wandering has there been any further progress into this build
