Table LA1 Maximum Engine Capacity

<H3 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 6pt 0cm" align=center>Weight of Vehicle</H3>

Maximum Engine Capacity (Refer to Notes Below)

Naturally Aspirated

Turbo/Supercharged

All vehicles originally weighing less than 1100kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.183

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 3.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.153

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 2.5

=

max. capacity in cc's

<H5 style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: none"></H5>

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.305

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.183

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 3.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

This table will be applied to all modifications.

lol it's not even a public website, and it's in another language!

this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

http://www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33achome.html.

Was a public website for comments, on reviewing the NCOP VSB 14

Must mean if it aint for review anymore they have alredy decided.

The LA1 table has always been in the VSB14, just didnt apply to LA3 modifications, I heard they moved the table in the LA document so that it will apply.

hey dumbass, that is from feb last year, and it only applies to modifications. basically it means you can't put a 427 chev engine in a gemini. has nothing to do with what the manufacturers put in their cars from the factory.

Hey thanks for the compliment, but that was when all the state heads of Vehicle Safety sections agreed to the change, or so my mate tells me.

And of course your right, every manufacturer has a V8 with a turbo or superchaged engine in their stable. Still they spent the money on R&D so they can do what they like, we wont be able to.

yes but they did the R&D on making sure that a chassis will be able to handle the power. some backyarder who puts a blown 350 chev into a torana won't know/care about whether it is going to twist the chassis every time he launches it. and he might put it in and not do any upgrades to the brakes or anything like that.

I'm not arguing for bad modifications, and I am all for manufacturers producing hot cars, turbo or otherwise.

I was just flagging impending change, to be for warned is to be for armed.

If your about to mod a V8 with a supercharger, espesially here in the west u need to know this shit.

as much fun as that would be, afraid not

although in a car that light, i think the twist of the engine when you reved it meant that if you were showing off at the lights by reving the car, if you reved it too hard it would just flip the car onto its roof, LOL

Hey VSB 14 NCOP version 2 will ban V8s being blown.

3 x tare weight = max cc allowed.

Commodore v8 1600kg = 4800cc.

Bye Bye blown V8s.

Imports will rise to the top.

Learn to read first...

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

1600*5=8000. Can you even get 8L v8s?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By dbm7 · Posted

      The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.
