From 6 July 2009, drivers issued with a probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 may drive some lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. The definition of a lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicle is a vehicle with 6 cylinders or less that is;

  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne;
  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that is considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and are equipped with child restraint anchorages. A family type vehicle does not include a sports car (two door coupe).

soo can anyone recommend something thats fun to drive that is within those rules?

Does the law mean that under 100kw & turbo is fine but if its 100-125kw/tonne then you need to apply for an excemption?

If thats the case find a turbo car under 100kw/tonne will be easier I guess.

Starlet GT or supercharged aw11 mr2 are two fun cars. Im assuming they both fall under 100kw/tonne

why not get a vl turbo ? it would be under the kw rule, cheap, and you have zero chance of finding a stock one, so it should be "fun"

i mean 21psi is "low boost" on a vl turbo these days

id recommend some good tyres though

hahahahahhaahahha realllllll funny

shan. i would hate to know what you were searching for when that came up

in that case, i would f**kin hate to know what that guy was up to..

on another note.

5 13 pages of VCD annotation, 30 generations to be drawn up, 10 developments with annotation and then i get to finally start the project. FML

hahahahahhaahahha realllllll funny

why hahahah ? it was a serious suggestion

there would be dozens for sale, they are cheap, last forever

the base power output vs weight would keep it under the rule

and almost all of them would have mods, so its still within the rule (based on factory specs)

its a VL turbo man... i hate those things with a passion

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
