Vehicle Inspection Worries
Hi there, I took my efini 1994 through a preliminary vehilce inpsetion in Perth, Western Australia. All the points they made (I wasnt there for the inspection) were fair and reasonable including such things as installing an engine imobiliser, removing the BOV, and lowering the exhaust from the rear bumper.
The one thing that the guy wrote down (my father described him as a little hitler) was that `the revs should remain stable at any throttle position.` My ol man said this guy at the centre spent 3 hours muking about with the car, driving it around and revving it heavily. I wonder if this guy has a valid point about the revs. I havent had any issues driving it for the last year, and havent noticed anything to suggest the engine doesnt hold the revs.
Anyway... I have other alterations to make on the car befoe the next inspection to get the car licensed. the car is a single turbo conversion from Japan. I recently had the engine rebuilt and fully tuned by a company over here. My fear is that in my home town, they wont pass the vehicle and i will be stuck with something unregisterable, as there is nobody with the technical knowhow to solve the issue.
Does anyone have any adivce on the issue, and if the conversion to twin to single has anything to do with it? Perhaps holding revs is a single turbo conversion issue? Thanks in advance. I`ve lost sleep over the issue!
