Spencer[RL] Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Why don't you ring up your local registraion department and ask about that laws ? or atleast google it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Answer for both engines, is yes, Do you have either experience at fabrication or as little as 30k to throw at your KE70? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only after an answer as two weather or not it would be legal or not with the 1uz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbott Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 honestly man most of us are Aussies on here ( there are exceptions) but maybe call your registration department or also look on club-k that is a new Zealand based forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KENut Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 No, in NSW there are capacity limits, which I think for a KE70 is 2.7 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1414 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I honestly doubt you will be able to get a 1uz registered in a ke70 in any state in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil86 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Definitely not a 1uz I have spoken to an engineer whilst investigating swaps when I was living in NSW I was told an n/a engine can be up to 3x the weight of the car (1000kg car limit is 3L) and forced induction is 2.5x (1000kg car limit is 2.5L). The engineer also said even if the engine is within those restrictions but is too hi-po it won't get engineered so I dare say you would be sh!t outta luck with a sr20t as well unless ur in good with an engineer.

I have seen a ke70 with a 1jzgte that is apparently legal. It all comes down to who you know and who is willing to plate it for you but remember just because it is mod plated or engineered doesn't mean its legal..

love ke70 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 cause engineers sign off on cars under the mod plate rules, but if it doesnt meet the set out criteria its supposed to its still not legal, unless you build an ICV or they go signatory engineer and submit a full application to build.
