unroadworthy turbos

I think just locking yourself in a underground bombshelter is where we will all head soon...

then theres probably some rule that says you need "SOMETHING" to do that legally.

I give up.

only 32 sleeps to go then off nth to darwin yeah

Just a general comment or two,
It would be fair to assume that as long as the final Power & Torque output is equal to or below the alternative biggest donk for the model you would be OK...but you also would have to get clearance on the hurdle of "Emissions" & compliance to ADR etc.
Their are disclosure rules by insurance companies also which you have to seriously consider......
I previously owned an old 1985 Cruiser with a standard 2H Diesel motor. We had done about 300,000 K's the motor was low on power, using oil & needed a full overhaul. I considered putting in everything from a Holden V8 petrol to a GM V8 Diesel.
During the process I contacted my Insurance Company at that time (NRMA) and they would allow me to put an after market Turbo & limit power to the Factory Equivalent from Toyota or a put in the Petrol Donk for that model. Anything else they were not interested in. It appears there is a resistance to putting in conversions with high power outputs. I suppose other Insurance companies would have the same sediments.
Unfortunately even though we have good intentions we do live in a world of litigation and political correctness.
I like to keep my stress levels down so sometimes it is easier to follow the rules.
Check with your Insurance Company.
Cheers to everyone

So whats the problem??You don't seriously think vicroads are going to confiscate and dyno test every turbo engine car on the road do you? Relax, just get on with life!

While being an interesting topic i personaly wouldn't give it a second thought !

Most would have other things to worry about before turbo legalities.

Just don't tell the insurance companies !!!
