hi all

can any one tell me were i can get a engineer certificate from for a fron mount and bov, in newcastle area??

name and numbers if possable please.

thanks.......

try the rta's website for a list of engineers in NSW

also ATMO bovs are illegal, as in you cant engineer them, sorry to disapoint you

why dont u get a stock bov and goto ebay and buy a fake bov electronic one.. bingo no defect they wont no wat it is.

i dont get what you mean lol........

So basically a quiet exhaust on the car from a reputable brand can be engineered?

Basically, no.

The brand of exhaust and the volume of noise from the exhaust when tested to the requirements of the EPA/RTA are mutually exclusive.

By quiet, if you mean less than what is shown in the RTA guidlines, then yes it is ok, once again irrespective of brand.

the vehicle has to reach a standard of not only roadworthy-ness but the RTAs standard for emission etc as well.

EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) emissions standards - noise pollution and exhaust pollution regulations have to be adhered to - and regulations for cars is different depending on year of manufacture, etc. Is many a rule.

An exhaust from any brand can be engineered if it meets epa specs. Some of the newer ones are specifically designed to be high performance and quiet - but sometimes depends how much echo and such is present where test is being done.

Guy we went to was legit, and i would recommend. Did the noise test at different rpm in different locations till it passed. (Failed badly the 1st time, so put another resonator in it, came back, failed, went to a different location and different rpm, passed).

Awesome. Not really worried about the noise not passing, but more on emissions (I'm a nube in exhaust emissions and what they should be - don't think spelling the exhaust from the outside is a smart move or a correct indicator :D).

What does 'engineered' actually involve? My novice perception was that they just check if its road safe and meets the regulations...

Before you get the car engineered you have to have an emissions test done at either Botany or Penrith testing centres. Its free,and is required by whoever you get to engineer your car

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
