NC 2.0 to 2.5 swap

[hks_kansei]

If it were me, assuming the 2.5 block shares the same codes as the 2.0, i'd just put it in and update the engine number with RTA or whatever QLD call theirs.

it's not like the police will pull the head off and measure the bores/crank.

If u Engineer it add a minimumn $1000 (or easily double that).

Having had a look at the Qld transport website it looks like this engine swap doesn’t need engineering.

Under what rules do you you think it’s not required?

My impression is that it needs a mod plate (if that’s what you mean by “engineering”) as the 2.5 was never offered as an option, I was reading the rules earlier tonight about wheels and composite panels and skimmed over a few engine bits.

But also, no one would know that it is different by just looking at it, so pretty safe as far as roadside defects go.

It’s within the 20% power rule

but its not within a lot of other rules

Looks like it needs a LA1 certificate but there’s some ambiguity about page 6. Scope, 1.1 Base Modifications Not Requiring Certification.

The engineer who did my roll bar said he didn’t believe it would need engineering.

Welcome to the world of mod plates

It won't need engineering, a blue slip for change of details will be fine.
