stewart is 100% on the money!
Basically in the eyes of the RTA, when you add supercharger or a turbocharger to a car that previously didnt have one, EVERYTHING changes! Including the need for an engineers cert. I would also want one done on the brakes as well, even though they are bolt in its still a modification that requires certification.
I myself am in the process of clearing a similar defect for having a 100kW 4age installed in my AE71. There is basically a rule of "inspector's discrestion" as to whether or not the engine requires certification to be OKed for an engine number change blue slip.
# Technically i had a 4A-C installed as stock, being a 1600cc petrol motor 4 cylinder.
# I replaced it with a 4A-GE 1600cc petrol motor, 4 cylinder. Utilising factory engine mounts, no fabrication work required.
# The engine numbers are identical in type, and theoretically have just done a head swap with an identical block to that which was installed before
# The 15% power increase is argueable, there is no increase to capacity nor forced induction.
However, i will eventually get an engineers certificate since i will be performing a brake upgrade, and would like the engine totally 100% legal without question.
