Correct - Different for other states. Up here in the Northern Territory, I didn't have to have an engineering certificate or mod plate for my Gen 3 swap. All MVR did is change over the engine numbers to match the vin number.

But yes, you'd definitely need a mod plate. Well in nsw anyway or you'd get a defect and your insurance would brush you.

I was under the same impression as Deco, cause thats what happens with silvias and the likes.

Might have to give Department of transport a call and find out

Pretty sure as that turbo factory option was not an option here engineers
Cert is a definite. Mostly for brake capacity, and the rest for chain of ownership of engine.

I didnt realise you needed to get an Engineering Cert/Mod plate for 3sgte conversions. From the research i have done through the RTA i found that as long as the engine is of the same family(3sge,3sgte), is from the build date of the car onwards and is a factory option (as all sw20s are since you got the choice of either NA or Turbo for the vehicle). It doesnt require any engineering certs/mod plate and all that needs to be done is to notify the RTA of the engine No. change and notify your insurance company of the change. Guess i was wrong....bummer.

Ha ha, 'mildly turbocharged'...

Slightly explosive?

What state are you talking about?

Hey fellas

So recently, 1990 mr2 turbo's are now eligble for "mildy turbocharged cars" exemption offered to p platers

I currently have a 1990 G limited, and was wondering if a mod plate would be require for a swap to a gen 2 turbo?

I know that with silvias, you can swap a sr20 for a ca18det or sr20det without needing a mod tag because they were offered as a factory option "(for example the engine from a Silvia Q into a Silvia K etc etc)

Just wondering if anyone has gone down this road

cheers
