The new NCOP for vehicle mods:
NA motor - capacity in cc up to 3x the original vehicle mass in kg
turbo motor - capacity in cc up to 2x the original vehicle mass in kg

So for a 660kg mini (some are more, some less)
NA - up to 1980cc
turbo - up to 1320cc

Short answer is: you won't get it rego'd :(

just register it NA and then turbo it :P
kinda sucks that it has to be original vehicle mass...otherwise just stick a few lead ingots in the boot and you got yerself a temporary commodore (weight wise anyway)..

interestingly enough that actually means the starlet gt (4efte) is too big @ 1331cc :P but as you say "some are more...some are less"

you'll need to modify the driveshafts...no matter what you do...if you are fitting a modern engine...

i realise i will have to modify the driveshafts ... if i dont the cv joints will be loaded too much and end up looking like putty hahaha.... how hard is the 4efte conversion?? just if u know off hand haha... the reason for thwe thread on the 1,5 is i already have the engine leftover from a previous project ( et pulsar now sr20)

hmmm.... very enlightening :)

I'm not sure you'll find anyone on this forum that has attempted it. Am I right in thinking that the ET Pulsar shares the same motor with the Holden Camira? That in itself would be enough of a deterrent.

Not putting crap on you. Just would be of the opinion there are more 'attractive' transplant options available.
