i vaguely remember someone posting a few PDF's in regards to mods before.. and i cant find them on here, or on the DPI website.

i'm basically interested in the engine conversion part of it, and going from a RB20 to a 25.

isn't it 20% increase in power/weight? not actual capacity? at least that's what i interpreted from that document.

unfortunately i'm going from a red top rb20 as well, so the starting figure is even lower... 180hp to *cough* 250hp...

The document says a few different things about power increase such as the part that states the maximum power the chasis come with... there is a few ways to interpurate as in all governement documents so it depends on the person or if you have an engineer then depends on them. Just read really careful and know your stuff so no one can bluff you :blush:

Hey man i work with DPI and licensing cars and all that stuff. You only need to have the vehicle inspected if there is a considerable power increase from the engine (i cant tell you percentage wise coz i dont know), or if the new engine has more/less cylinders.

We do have forms we can send out called change of engine number forms....ill check our website BRB

aha here we go, change of engine number form http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/lic_MR6_ChgEngNum.pdf

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
