Vehicle engineering

Post by Prunes » Wed Aug 27, 2008 1:39 pm

Anyone know if we can get the following mods certified/engineered on a brumby...

5 Stud Brake Kit
Chassis Rail Mods for DOHC
EJ22 or EJ25
EJ AWD Gearbox

And obviously all the little bits associated with these mods.

Or if anyone can point me in the way of a friendly engineer who wont just tell me to bugger off, that would be great.

Yes I'm sure there is plenty of information on the forum, but that doesn't tell me specific to Tasmania being state based laws as well as the ADR.

I am planning to do it myself hence why I would like to talk with an engineer or someone who has done the mods before and got them certified in Tasmania so I can find out specifics on what I have to do.

Yeah the best thing you can do is talk to the engineer and know what is allowed and whats not.

I just got my turbo conversion engineered and had no hassles. But it was all 'bolt in' modifications which made it easy.

Prunes my mate, go see Al in Perth (the real Perth just south of Launceston)
Big Al it is I think.

Has a workshop on the main drag.
He has certified 3 wrx to brumby swaps and loves them.

Bloody Lego was the term he used.

I will try to dig up his number but you should find him easily.

The RSLC boys told me about him.

Have fun amigo.
1989 Subaru WonderBrumby II
EJ22 Dual range AWD lifted, widened and much happier now thanks very much.

1991 L Series wagon, white and perfectly normal apart from the ticking, no I think that is normal.

Jet boat..webbered EA81 with a hybrid tin dish welded and glued to it.

Al is your man but really you need to fill in the modification application form then get approval in principle and go from there

the form you need is on the tas transport website and type in modification in to the search bar
