Just wondering what the routine is for registering a VL with an RB25DET NEO in it in WA?

Does it need to run all the emission controls from the car it came from( ie:charcoal canister)

And if it has those emission controls, what else is needed?

Does it need to be engineered before pits?

Not too sure on a lot of this, so if someone could shed some light that'd be much appreciated

Cheers :)

I recently spoke to the guys at the licensing centre in Welshpool cause I've got a 30DET being built for my R34. When I asked him about emission controls and how they test he told me 'if I walk past the car and the exhaust makes my eyes bleed due to over fueling etc then I'm going to fail it'.

You'll probably need the standard afm and o2 sensor and get a hi-flow cat convertor as well. Run it with either the factory ecu or an aftermarket ecu which has been detuned to meet emissions. When you apply for your mod permit from the VSSS they will tell you to go get an engineering report before going over the pits, this is usually the case when going from a naturally aspirated vehicle to forced induction or if there is an increase power or engine size.

So i just have to get an engineering cert for the engine in the car stating that its all good? So if i get engineering, the rest is paperwork and roadworthy checks?

Why would i get a high flow cat for an emission test? Doesnt that make emissions worse for testing?

cheers for your help so soon!

Pretty sure you do the paperwork first, they'll come back and approve your mods then you take the car to the engineering guy and then you go off to the pits... I'm just going by memory here from when I spoke to the mods guys at Welshpool last month

A high flow cat is better for emissions than what no cat would be assuming it might fail if its just straight thru exhaust.

    • Maybe I also should have wrote that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
    • Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.
    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
