VSI14 and VSI8 Regulations in Victoria

[benny]

Hi All,

 

 

As far as i know VSI8 is still in effect in victoria and VSI14 isn't, is this true?

 

 

Does VSI8 limit capacity and induction? or is it limited to what the engineer believes is sound?

Links would help my little brother.

 

I'm too tired to do my own research, sorry.

As far as I am aware, VSB14 is in effect. I am going through engineering at the present time and this is what the engineer always refers to.

Hi Tom,

 

 

thanks for that, so it seems you are still able to have unlimited displacement/induction as long as the engineer signs off?

 

 

Edit: Just read the section on capacity, though it only says reccomended engine capacity, it doesn't seem that it is enforced?

I guess you could try it on that it only says "recommended" engine size but I reckon my guy would say no. Unless you were willing to pretty much re-engineer/strengthen every other aspect of the car and do non-destructive testing on all the components to prove it was all above board.

 

Unless you have something just so rare or different that you just want to power your car with, it's not worth the hassle as you can pretty much get more than enough power out of any of the available engines that we can slot into our cars.

 

Next time I talk to the gingerbeer, I will casually ask him about the "recommended" engine size and just see what he says about it.
