Rego & Rw's After Engine Swaps?

[Jnrb89]

Hey guys, Anyone know what needs to happen (if anything) regarding rego etc after an engine swap?

I blew up original 25DET Neo, replaced it with 25DE Neo I purchased from engine importer, and bolted all my turbo stuff on resulting in a Rb25DE+T Neo.

What will happen if i decide to sell the car? The engine number is now different (not to mention its a DE)

Its my understanding that if you turbo a shit spec VL for example, you'll need the associated vl turbo parts such as brakes etc in order for you to be able to rego it..

The original engine was a turbo, so you should have all the extras to handle it. Just tell the rego people that you changed the engine number, show them the receipt for the engine, should be good.

It's only a problem fitting a turbo engine if the original engine was n/a, because the car doesn't have the goods - in particular, brakes - to handle the additional power of the turbo.
