If it's the original engine or upto 1380cc , why does it need to be engineered ??

If it has to be engineered then so be it but I would imagine a turbo a series would be a hell of a lot easier than anything else.

Thanks fot heads up, please disregard my last misleading links.
Turbo EFI A12 cant be that hard to engineer surely.

If it needs an engineers report for full reg, it needs an engineers report for club reg.
RWC`s are a different story.

D, those Gas systems are not stand alone. They need a factory engine managment system to piggyback off.

Yeah that was the case but pretty sure rules have changed I may be wrong but. Best to speak to engineer first and see what they say.

This is why you take advantage of the Club Permit.

Pay $180odd per year rego, drive it 100+ days a year (cant remember exact days), join a club, attend at least one club event.

Your car needs to be of a good standard and worthy of being in a club event or show and shine, it does not have to be a full blown show car with polished everything but to a good standard where people will be interested in it.

Its not abusing the system, you guys don't know how lucky you are to have it and its a great opportunity to bring car enthusiast together and show the government that just because you have a modified car doesn't make you a hoon. Making you pay ridiculous amounts of money on engineering is the government abusing their power. However your car will be looked at by a scrutineer from a club, it will have to be roadworthy and no crazy modification, im sure an A series turbo will pass easy.

Stu i didnt think emissions was an issue if the block was carburetted in the first place or never had emissions control?.
If rules have changed & cant even use a SU drawthrough with E85, then how about...

Either option you will find hard to engineer with an aftermarket computer it is possible but there may be some expensive emission test's involved. Personally if the ute means a lot to you i would go with the a12 turbo that way if your ever inclined to put it back to standard it will be a heaps easier.

There r a few A series experts here, Simon especially in boosted A series, record holder at some tracks along with another 2 Finns that have world records with A series turbo engines, but as far as the help you are going to get to do it right for a very reasonable price you cant go wrong with his wisdom and enthusiasm.

Ive had ideas & problems that Simon has just clarified/solved instantly when put to him & cannot thank him enough for his tweaks on my projects. There arent many people that do that these days he is methodical & honest.

Nothing new about an LZET, Andrew Morrow, Ryan Dickson and others run them with FCW L cranks At the time I was after no pollution, easy 5 speeds, low height & crossflow head for a little more room side to side. Nothing too out of the ordinary I thought. HOWEVER as soon as Simon stepped up proving an A12 can be an incredible force when done properly (few have done proper turbo A series turbos) as he has but keeping most of it stock my LZet plans went totally south, I felt like the answer was staring at me the whole time... cheap, light, reliable and powerful. I was even considering a twin cam A series after seen his side project but what he managed from a stocker blew most of us away even surely himself must have been a little chuffed on how well it performed, there where disbelievers at that stage but I remember lifting the lil A12 into his bay & witnessing the build before going in. Cheap and stock inside but externally purposeful he calculated most of it with lots of research and plenty of sweat.

The A12 efi turbo is a better bet in costs and weight while the LZet will be heavier needs new mounts crossmember mods along with time spent lining it all up which is no mean feat unless you get mates rates which Simon charges anyway yet still alot of work and messing around to get it all right.

For 150hp atw for under 5k efi A12 turbo is the winner no questions about it. Replace the stock A12 for another donk like the L series, CA or SR its another ball game & unless you can do some yourself will cost more than 5 grand.

DatsunBloke why sheepishly bleat your try hard big port 4age stereotype spasm? Your backdoor effort ended up for sale un-engineered. Good intended Clubs want less of that butch short sighted mentality just decent car enthusiasts.

dont abuse the club permit scheme, abuse can get you into stife and the club loose its vic roads accreditation. that means the whole club looses their permits! in the long run that means the scheme will get shut down to the old days where it was club events only, not log books.

Even on club permit it is supposed to go get signed off by only one engineer in the scheemme. its nto a free for all mod fest.

At least i have a legit engineeres cert so if people do stuff it up, i can go get full rego again.
