ok im not full of knowledge when it comes to engine mods or what you need for a certain mod and im sorry if this sounds stupid but there is only one way for me to find out right?

if im a red P plater am i aloud to have an intercooler and a bov?

will a intercooler give me anymore power from a standard r31?

will there be any point in doing these mods?

what mods can i do to the engine of a r31 to give me more power without any hassels from the cops while im on my rred P`s?

thanks heaps

Hey mate,

If you got your red ps after July last year your not allowed to drive a turbocharged car. Big penalties apply if your caught.

its generally thought that BOV's are a waste of time mod. sure, i like the sound but i dont think its worth the hassle and the +$150 that they cost. also if they are not installed correctly they can screw around with your idle n stuff.

intercoolers are good for handling more boost.

what sort of engine do you have, rb20 or the rb30? also, be specific on the usage of your car (ie street and drag or street and track etc)...

hope that helps mate.

cheers. james.

edit: and also, for legality issues- its best that you check your vic roads equivitent website. (i dont know what its called in NSW). there is so much heresay when it comes to modification laws, your best off hearing it from the horses mouth!

If you got your red P's after July, you're not supposed to be driving a turbocharged car, as MR R34 has said. There are certain exceptions, but you'll have to ring the RTA or check their website (www.rta.nsw.gov.au) and do some reading to find out what they are.

Adding an intercooler and BOV have nothing to do with your licence, but rest assured that if you have a BOV that vents to atmosphere for the whole "WHOOSH" sound, you will be attracting the cop's attention (and a defect) no matter what licence you have.

You're also not allowed to do any powertrain mods, regardless of the aspiration.

just drive it as it is.... maybe pimp it up... a bit of rice won't hurt... leave the power mods for when you have yr full license.
