    Default ra28 3.0 v8 conversion

    hey guys,

    been away from here a long time, good to see it still pumping
    just come back finally after a couple of years with an ra28 and at the stage of looking at an engine swap,

    unfortunately my search skills are utter crap.
    im not sure if the rules have changed for compatible engines but from old memory im sure that na motors couldnt exceed 4 times the cars tare weight for N/A making forced motors just under 3L's or what not,

    ive googled for a while and im still trying to find the nsw standard tare weight for the ra28 also.
    does anybody have the exact weight?

    if anybody else is in the process or knows of any changes made to our restrictions id been keen to hear your thoughts.

    Can't tell you the rta considered weight of an ra28 sorry.

    I can say that for an ra23 2.5l is the largest fi engine allowed without going icv rules.

    I think that 1uz would be allowed.
