NSW, Reputable engineer for engine swap.

[KurtHS]

Surely there is a point to having at least just the engine engineered, it means you can't be defected for that individual item which is arguably the biggest headache to get defected for.

[sam92]

Everything else is easily fixed and cleared, well in nsw at least.

[Matt]

So what you are asking is would an engineer give you a cert for say an sr20 but ignore the hydro handbrake and 10" wide wheels

[sam92]

Yes

[maxhag]

^^^ {shakes head}.............

I hope you get defected......

You've missed the point of the whole engineering process.....

[sam92]

That's why I was asking the questions man to learn what the go is and get advice as I've never engineered a car before an don't know much about it.

[nelpd96|]

I certianly wouldnt just do the engine and nothing else. Other engineers shoulnt either but that does not mean that they wont. As Jo Jo will tell you sometimes a defect is the least of your worries. There are some experienced people here offering advice but is completely up to you what to do with it once it i given.

Thanks Paul that's what I was after, some advice from people more experienced then me. I now know that when the time comes ill engineer the whole car and make it worth it. I don't know how strict they are but I think my car would almost pass how it is apart from a few small things.

[Matt]

Engineering your car shouldn't be a difficult process if you stick to modifications that are within the guidelines. I know it is somewhat difficult to do it, but your best bet is to speak with the engineer before you make the modifications.

That way you can abandon the project if needed and not be out of pocket too much.

[KurtHS]

What's stopping you from engineering a car with an engine upgrade and the appropriate matching upgrades; uprated brakes, suspension, tyres and then putting your 10" wide wheels and hydro handbrake on?


I'm interested in getting my new car engineered, my plan is to engineer the engine conversion, the brake upgrade, stiffer suspension and slightly wider wheels/tyres and then slam it on coilovers and put wider wheels on. Hardly see that as going against everything an engineers certificate is for.

Basically what you're saying is because I want my car lower than 100mm and with 10's means I shouldn't bother engineering the engine at all.
