hi
i got a spare hilux with a blown engiene so i thoght might as well look for another and use the blown one for parts, so anywyas i stumbled across this.
82 yota.
fuel injected celica engiene
haltech engiene management.
crane ignition.
other stuff anyways it ran outa rego last week so i need your guys opinions and advice.
the guy said its tuned to run rich so it blows a bit of smoke when high reving.....will i get knocked back for rego on this..it was fine when i was messing with it while it was on the drive tho.
the synchos are gone on the box but that doesnt matter i have a spare one wiating to go in...
with the engiene, its a 2L so i guess i dont need to get an engineers cert for it or do I?
got a high flow yamaha head on it and a big zuast, im really interested but a tad hesitant
thanks for any help

you do need an engineers certificate for it.
You may be able to get it registered without the eng cert, but it will not be legal per se.
Apart from that - the 18RG is lot's more fun than the 18RC plodder that they came with.

its not an RG, its a fuel injected engiene, cant remember the code.
guy said the engienes been in there for 4 years
why would it need a cert, its no larger than the origninal engine.

Sorry, I assumed 18RG - I had the fuel injected variant (18R GEU) in my RN41 HiLux.
The need for an engineers certificate is - cars manufactured with ADR 27A or greater are NOT allowed to have modifications made to the emissions systems. Now this rule is stepping back a while and there have been amendments to the rules to accomodate engines that come from cars with higher emissions standards than those that the vehicle was released with.
To the best of my knowledge it needs an engineers cert. The best person to speak to about this is an engineer. Look one up and ring them.
As for $200 - it is more like $300. Which is not a lot of money when you consider the reaming that you could get for being involved in an accident and NOT having the report.

ahkay, thanks for the help. it may have a cert already the engiene was built and installed by a local performance shop, i just assumed it didnt cos a lot of ppl round here do backyard jobs and never engineer it.
so as for the running rich, that wont affect the pink slip or will it, cos if so i dont wanna pay a shop to reprogram the haltech to run leaner.
thanks
