Whats the weight of the vehicle? (As on the rego papers)
In NSW it equates to CC's = 4.82 x weight in KGs for NA over 1100kgs, or 4.00 x weight in KGs for Forced Induction over 1100kgs.
For under these weights the mulitplication facotr drops considerably to 3x and 2.5 times from memory (I have forgotten the low weights..)
I believe most states are now adopting these rules (Becoming Australia wide inside a few months from what the local RTA engineer was telling me)
(Hence my dilemna in finding a vehicle to house a forced induction 5 litre v12...that still looks sexy, and handles!)

The largest engine you can fit legally is a two litre turbo. You can fit a touch bigger, but there was never such an engine produced.
Given the expense of (say) an SR20 conversion, I'd suggest that the same money would be better spent on installing a 4AGZE, getting a turbo & manifold, and fitting a haltech.

so without extensive chassis rigity mods the 2L engine is the biggest.
Phil: was the ae86 with the rb25 in it registered or a dedicated drift car?
I think someone forgot to tell him that you don't need heaps of power in an ae86 to drift

some time ago on i think it was the twincam16 forums someone worked it out and it equated to something like 2.38 litres or something similar. you cant just make a blanket statement and say 'about' 2 litres. ring the RTA or an engineer and get them to tell you the requirments and work it out yourself, dont just ask ppl who are going by what theyve seen or heard of such as myself
