when talking to the engineer...he said....what model is it....and i said 1980....he said so its after 1976 and im like yep....and he said well it is an emissions motor and you cannot bolt a turbo to an emmsions motor ....as it wont comply
and im like what ill just go get a test done ....he he said the only place that can do it is like some place in perth and melbourne and that will cost huge money and it will probably fail anyway >>(his words)

im tripping out aye....he reckons if i get a 1976 ute and chuck the package in...he will do it in 5 mins....but with the 1980 its impossible....apparently
he reckons absolutely no turbo and it will be fine with the a14....but wont touch it with turbo on...

is this right...as i dont want to think all my effort is useless??????

this is a joke im ringing another engineer tomoz...so ill keep you posted

Is he an RTA approved Engineering Signatory? He needs to be.
80 model ute needs to meet 1980 emission standards, at worst it will go off the engine itself. Whats the latest the A14 could be, 84? Even still. "Turbo" dont instantly make it fail emissions.
There is a place in Botany NSW that does RTA approved emissions tests.

Engineer sounds like a joke. A14 itself doesnt need to be engineered as it comes under owner certified modification. A15 itself needs to be engineered in a 1200.
Both engines need to be blueslipped.

this guy is an rta signatory!! crazy huh!!
phunk u must be joking me!!!!!!!!!!!!
your telling me i dont need to engineer my a14 in a 1200 ute????
so what do i do just go down to the rta and say "hi change these engine numbers over please"??????? as the engine number is different to that on the rego papers.......is that what u are saying...I HOPE SO !!! lol

also i have rung another engineer and am gunna go through him...this other guy seems nuts to me....lol but he said he doesnt know laws untill tomorrow


PHUNK THANKS HEAPS FOR ALL YOUR HELP KEEP IT COMING MATE!!

ps there is an emission testing station 10mins from my house...

Like I previously wrote.
A14 and A15 both need to be blueslipped. Basically to see that the engine fittment is satisfactory. Not exactly hard when it simply bolts straight in.
A14 falls within the size limit of owner certified modifications.(still needs blueslip)
All info can be found on the RTA webstie in the "Guidelines for light vehicle Modifications" pdf files
Add a turbo and it needs engineering.
On your blueslip papers the new engine numbers will be written. When you hand this to the RTA, your engine numbers will be changed on your rego papers.

Engineering requires a complete vehicle blueslip. If the engineer passes your vehicle, there should be no reason for it to fail blueslip.

cool thanks again phunk...ill see what i can do tomoz..and let you guys know....

i got a a15 in a 71 coupe. whats it cost to get an engineers certificate?

grind off a14 numbers and stamp on whatever's on ur rego papers (unless you sold the a12)

20% larger in capacity is all cool without an engineers report, as long as no engin mounts have been modified...
?? would injection solve emissions problems??

good luck

from what ive been told i ned to get an engineers report on the turbo setup...which will include the emissions test...i will get the car tuned extreemly rich for the test...then get it passed....
then i will need a blue slip to pass the engine convertion and the lil go getta will be back on the road again!!!!

2QK4U i cant post pics up as i dont think i have the facilities.....but if you are genuinly intersted in purchasing chuck me your email and i would be more then happy to send photos to you...
