Hi everyone, I have a 75 bay window i plan on chucking a ej20t into but someone has been telling me its not legal in qld
The guy has a twin turbo ej20 in his splitty and recons he cant get it engineered.

anyone know if single turbo ej20 will be fine in QLD or have the laws changed recently or something?

Condensed, this government document states that for Forced Induction the maximum engine capacity you can go must not exceed 2.5 x original vehicle weight, and 3 x weight for N/A. People have run these in beetles!

BTW, the motor size regulations (and turbo/supercharging regulations) normally do not apply to commercial vehicles, thus an EJ20T in a bus should be no problem.
