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.
