hello, im look for ruff costs people have had of getting engineers for puttin a ca18 turbo into there dattos. I was going to buy a datto with one in it, but i have to get an eng cert. Has anyone else done a coversion like this and how much did you have to spend on engineers, and what did you have to change. The car im looking at has 200B front brakes. Thanks

depends who u go too i rang one in camden nsw he was $550 for full report some will chage $400 just to have a look with no report thats extra charge

Cost me 700 bucks to get mine engineered mate

yeah mine was around $600 for half a day of the engineers time (it passed first go)

i guess if you had items to rectify it would end up costing you more since you'll have more than 1 visit.

thanks dude!!

Thanks for the info guys. Hmm, as im going to try and get a legit engineers on a 120y 4 door sedan with a ca18 turboed motor, it has a good front suspension setup, no rubbing or bottoming out, has 200B front brakes tho, i doubt they would be enough. 3 inch exhaught, not to loud either. It also has the standard borgwarner diff. A crappy body tho? It goes over 200kph easy as, i had to drive back from adelaide with it, so out in the sticks i opened it up and nearly did a #### on the seat. What kind of things did you guys have to change?

your brakes only need to be able to handle the extra weight from your conversion.

doesnt matter if you had 1000hp ca18 as long as the brakes pull the car up from 100km/h their good enough for registration purposes.

ah right, well thats good to know. Howd you go with your diff and the rotory? What diff do you have? I'm I correct to say, that if there has been no hacking and bashing or cutting, and every thing bolts in nicly that it won't take alot to get a enginners?
