Check the Vicroads website for VASS approved signatories.
Most engineers will do it. All the vic ones will require an emissions test. |

As the engineer if you can get around the emissions test by using the stock ECU, if you still have it in your car. I'm in consult with a VASS engineer up in Bendigo in regards to my turbo might boy project, but i don't require an emissions test for compliance. Just all the other stuff like retain factory emissions gear, don't cut too much body work for pipes, don't have the FMIC hanging out so it can hurt someone & so on. Cheers ToranaGuy

Cheers ToranaGuy Do you have to retain the standard ECU? Is it unroadworthy to run aftermarket?

Cause that was my plan give it a retarded tune then change it back

it would be easy to pass the emision test with the aftermarket ecu, as it can be de tuned..to run lean..
but weather they will allow it knowing that the ecu's tune can be changed as soon as you leave??.. i know that ems ecu's have a feature that they can be locked for tuning purposes and the tune cant be accessed unless a code is entered.. so i guess it depends on the engineer aswell as the emission tester.. but there are guys out there with aftermarket ecu's that have passed emissions, so it is possible.. the killer is in some states the emission test cost heaps... that may be why a lot of turbo cars are not engineered... |

An engineers cert will cost you thousands of dollars and a lot of bother.
Just blow the thing, insure with Shannons (without an engineers mod, they are ok with this), my el with lowered suspension, sway bar, xr6 turbo, log manifold, intercooler and all the pipe work, to insure, $395, im currently paying $450 for insurance without the turbo!! So insurance is not a problem, with Shannons, as long as you are old enough to have them insure you (23 i think it is) ring and ask, its just a phone call. Another thing, is cops can still hassle you even when you have an engineers cert waving in there face. Best thing in my opinion, your covered with you insurance, your car runs boosted, you get pulled over? Be nice, polite and dont get caught doing anything wrong  ie, do it on back-back roads where no one will know (I know its hard)
