Ke55 13bt Legality?

[rolla13bt]

does any one know if it is legal to have a 13b turbo in a ke55 in Tassie????

probably impossible

 

unless you engineer your car as an Independantly Constructed Vehicle, so be prepared to spend $10-$15k on the testing and certification alone, PLUS the price of the conversion and all relevant upgrades (exhaust, fmic, brakes, diff, tailshaft, etc)

 

for that price, why bother? you'd just buy a turbo FC RX7 and have something with brakes and handling and lsd stock

tried that. can't get a straight answer. they'r not very helpful down here. i just wanna know if it can be done. apparently its ok to put a 13bt in an 808 down here, i think they are 1300cc standard? so a Corolla should be doable to i should think. i've got series 6 brakes on it and evry thing has been done properly.

not really. mazdas are alot heavier than corollas, and the fact that they had rotary crossover models (eg: r100 = 1000/1300, rx3 = 808, rx4 = 929, etc) makes it alot easier to put a chook cooker in one than a corolla

 

most states allow you to smuggle a naturally aspirated 12a into an oldrolla, and no more. and you can't even do that to a ke20 in nsw, or a ke25 anywhere!

 

ps: 808s had a sohc 1400

i just heard back from the engineer and apparently it's legal to have a 13b turbo in a Rolla down here....
