Hey all,
Can any really helpful person/people give me a fairly detailed rundown on what has to be done to legally put an EJ20T into my 56 oval?? By this I mean things like brakes, suspension, steering, engineering, etc, etc. I know that some of you have already been through this whole thing, so your help is greatly apprecialted.
Cheers,
Mikey.
You are in SA so you need to check with your local guys as most states seem to vary.
In QLD you will need rear disc, unleaded fule limiter, demister, new seat belts. I think that is about it.

Why copy when you can own an original ?
Meyers Manx AustraliaI thought the rear was smaller on an oval ? will the cam belt system fit = dont the cam pullys hit the rear clip ?
Ok Brad I cleaned it up :party

Belt system ??? Only teh fronts need to be changed and even that depends on the Engineer. Also need a collapsible steering comoumn.

Meyers Manx AustraliaLook in the Adelaide yellow pages under Engineers - Vehicle.
Call one of them and ask them for some idea of what they think TSA will want. Also ask them for an estimate for the engineer's report and tests that TSA will require.
I would also ring TSA at Regency Park and ask to speak to someone at vehicle modifications. Tell them what you want to do. They should give you a reasonable idea of what will be required over the phone but won't commit themselves to exactly what is needed until you put in an application form. In one conversation I had with them, they said you can do anything you want, IF you have the money to make it safe and to prove it is safe.
Treat them with respect and you should get on OK. If you get shirty with them they will get REALLY difficult. :cussing
If you don't ahve any luck over the phone you can also try putting in the application. They will soon tell you what they require.
Also look up IIcab on this forum and send him an email or U2U. He lives out at Klemzig and has had permission to put a 3.8 V6 in his bay window kombi, subject to many requirements. I havent heard how he has got on lately.
Keep us informed, and good luck.

We are about to get ours done...this is what we need in NSW.
Catalytic converter...before muffler.
Blow off valve cannot vent to air..must be air cleaner.

Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake
Not his first drive...but his first run with another car.....wont tell you what it was but the other guys for and against hasnt improved.
Cheers for that guys. Just tried to look up engineers in the yellow pages but only seem to get mechanics, is this right?? Is a vehicle engineer also a mechanic??
Thanks
Mike
no, ring the local RTA (roads and transport authority) and ask them for a list of the appropriate people. Or look up on line.
Sorry Mikey - it isn't 11CAB who lives in Adelaide, it is VWTYP2 that may be able to help you.
Andy.
cheers bud
Street Machine magazine has a list of accredited engineers here for all States
http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/Tig/Minisite/Minisite.aspx?alias=carpointau&id=6659
The listing is by no means complete. It is missing Richard Larson of Load Safe and Keith Fackrel of KCF Rally Sport for QLD.
