Vehicle Modifications

[SUSS8]

Hey everyone, I have been searching but haven't had any luck, my brother is looking at completing his VY R8 as he's done pretty much what he can N/A and we were looking to find what the rules are as having something out of the bonnet. We were told you can have like a filter hanging out by only about 4mm. Any ideas ? Were lookin at maybe blowing it. Also were in VIC.

I think it's 14cm, and any moving parts have to be covered by a scoop or some ****.

The answer to your question is in Victoria you are allowed to make one intake modification. Any more than this and the epa will get you regardless of adrs. Fitting a pod filter = one intake change, bigger throttle body = one intakek change so both together do not meet the requirements and are therefore defectable.

hey i have a vn commy v6 with 235000km on the clock and was wondering if anyone knew how long the engine would live for after a turbo is installed?? thanks

this is a piece of string:

now as soon as you can tell me how long it is, then i can tell you how long the motor will live.

Think of it this way.

1. Old, probably tired engine.
2. Add turbo and young? driver, who obviously wants lots more power and performance (why else would you fit a turbo?) in a car which never had brakes and handling to match the power it was built with when new.
3. Out for first drive.
4. Rod(s) exit block at warp speed/VN fails to take first bend at warp speed. (whichever comes first)
5. Dead motor/driver (see 4).

It's twice as long as half it's length.
So that must mean his engine will last twice as long as half its age. :rofl2:
