Max Cc For Ke70

[Millaz88]

Hey guys I'm sure 10000000000000 newbies have asked this before but I have looked and gotten "i think" and "in qld it's" and "I wouldn't go bigger then" a lot but I can't seem to fine what the most cc n/a and forced induction is legal in vic for my ke70

If someone could help by either telling me or giving me the formula to work it out myself it would be great thanks

Queensland Modification Handbook

 

Any engine conversion now requires certification by approved persons. But I think its a 50% increase of original displacement.

I'd does mention in Victoria not Queensland just a heads up as that's Queensland.

I know but it gives you an idea.

 

My dad had a 3t-c in his ke70 and that was passed easily. But I still think you need to contact an engineer and have a better idea of what you plan on doing.

From memory I think with the KE55s (and maybe ke70s) the most you could get was 2-2.4 litres.... There are also restrictions for P platers of less than 100kw per 1000kgs (at least that was the rules back when I got mine), but I think these days it's basically no engine conversions.

 

Since no one else has said it though, I will say it: ask VicRoads. Anyone else that tells you is possibly lying, at the end of the day they are the only ones that can tell you the truth (though getting a straight answer out of them can be difficult). Also speak to an engineer. If you are looking at doing any sort of conversation or modification (which is obviously the point of this post) it will need to be engineered to be legal. Only an engineer can tell you what can legally be engineered.

 

Maybe though you should post what conversion you think you are doing, maybe someone in vic can tell you how they went about getting it legally registered (or how they couldn't).

I haven't really thought about any worthwhile engines to chuck in and already have a but of a plan for the 4k I have in the shed for my e7

It was just purely out of intrest

Also just to clear up I'm not 18-21 I have done my time on my p plates lol so that's not an issue with me compared to the oter people around with most of these sort of questions

Thanks for the replies and info guys :)

LoLz. Seriously guys you just did exactly what he was trying to avoid! :laff:

 

Vicroads says:

 

2. Replacement engine is not of a type offered by the vehicle manufacturer as an option for that vehicle or where alterations, or changes to the vehicle's frame or structure are made, and/or specially fabricated supports or structures are used

You will need to attend a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for an inspection of the vehicle to confirm the new engine details. You will also need to complete a Change of Vehicle Description form and provide VicRoads with:

 

* a VASS Approval Certificate from a VicRoads Vehicle Assessment Signatory

* an original receipt for the purchase of the engine as proof of ownership of the engine

If your modifying your 4K then just do it. If you're putting a new, non standard engine into the car, you need to have it engineered. Simple.

[Millaz88]

Yeh I understand you need to have it all engineered

Just wondered if anyone knew the maths equation to work it out

I did have it all on a cd from when I talked to an engineer about a engine swap in a a35 coupe I had

But that seems long gone can't find it anywere

 

Think I will just go with 4k n see how I go

[philbey]

There used to be a 3.5L per tonne restriction on P platers.

 

I've been through Vicroads engineering a turbo bluebird and no equation was ever mentioned. Vicroads modification guide is typically vague, long and short engineer it.

 

There's a street legal, blown V8 powered KE20 getting around vic. hell there's a street legal V12 3000hp 57 chev! Anything is possible to do legally.

[love ke70]

just ring an engineer, get a straight answer, and be happy.

 

it depends whether you guys are under NCOPS yet or not

hell there's a street legal V12 3000hp 57 chev! Anything is possible to do legally.

But it got past on a technically - Guinness World Records and VicRoads wanted it in. Have the write-ups of the build in Budget Buildups.

Regardless, the point is that if you want to know, ask the engineer or your road authority. Simple.
