hi all

Im new to the Forum.

I have just purchased myself a 1200 ute and i would like too know how big of a turbo engine can i put in it and be able to pass engineer

Ive been told that u can go 2L non turbo
& 1.8L turbo is this correct?

All depends on where you are

Sorry im from sydney nsw

Im am pretty sure that is correct 1.8l for turbo, and 2l NA hence the popularity of the ca18 conversion

Hi Lizardhead
You should contact an engineer in your area and ask the relevant questions i.e. maximum capacity allowed, brake upgrades etc. If you poured a heap of time and money into a car based on what you think is registerable only to be told it isn't you won't be very happy.

I also am pretty sure that the 1.8 turbo and 2 litre NA is correct.

Multiply the tare weight of (the heaviest sedan version of your car) So they get the official measurment from 1200 sedan's..
For Turbo multiply it by 2.5 and that will give you the max turbo CC capacity engine you can have in there, or multiply it by 3 to get the biggest N/A engine you can put in.

That info came straight from the RTA, althought I am not sure on relevant brake upgrades etc.?
