Rb26 Into Gtt Is An Engineer Certificate Needed?

[yeahmate]

Hi everyone

I've built a new Rb26 motor for my 34GTR, now the stocky one I yanked out is being eyed off by my younger bro who has a Gtt..

Before I help him with transplanting it in to his car, is it as simple as going / calling vic roads about the swap so they can put it on file or will I need an engineers cert? (Melbourne)

was told by a mate shouldn't be a problem and a cert wasn't needed along as the engine was an option in the range, but I just want to make sure

I called vic roads but the chic didn't know her ass from her elbow

Cheers

yes a cert is needed...plus brakes and other stuff...

You may be able to get away with it due to "but it came in the 34!!111" which it sort of did.

But in reality, it never came in THAT exact model, a GTT. That said, you can put a Turbo engine in a NA, and the chassis and other bits are different. It's a grey area.

As GTSBoy said in the other thread, why would you even do it? the ONLY reason I can think of doing it is to keep dat stock turbo look with twins, which is kind of a big deal in Victoria, but in any scenario that you are explaining "its stock officer" you'd better be prepared to explain how the engine found its way into a GTT, may be very much pushing uphill.

The neo is as good and/or better engine anyway, (VCT!, Solid lifters! Higher comp ratio!) requires nothing to change, zero labour, and like, IS standard, so unless you want to go 500+kw and appear completely dead stock from the outside, which would be really 'fun' in a RWD GTT anyway..... don't do it

stick with the 25 neo, but a bigger turbo on, and you'll make the same power, earlier.
