R32 with RB25DET Legal Issues - VIC

Hey Guys, 

I've had a good stalk through the past topics but can't seem to find anything that hits the nail on the head. 

Im going to purchase and R32 soon and I am pretty obviously keen on getting one with an RB25DET. 

However I'm not sure on the legalities/ insurance issues of this. I wanted to get some feedback from people who are running the engine conversion in their 32. 

I've heard that the R32's can be registered with the RB25, however i'd need an engineer's cert to avoid cop trouble ? 

If so, how much did it cost you to get your engineers cert? 

How did you go about insurance? 

Thanks all and apologies if this seems like bit of a noob question

James

My r32 has had it's rb20de swapped to a 25de from a r33 and car has been registered with a 25 in it. However these are both na motors and I know that if I swapped to a turbo I would've needed a certificate, but cos you already have a turbo engine in the car and you're just swapping to another turbo engine then maybe you don't need one? Regardless, if you do need one, get one otherwise if you get caught you'll be enjoying quite a few fines.

 

As far as insurance goes, mine was all smooth, so I suppose as long as the car has been registered with the engine in it, there's no issue.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
