As far as I understand Victoria also use the NCOP so you can definitely put an EJ20T or EJ25T (Forester came out with EJ25T didn't they ?) since they were a factory option.

And since an EJ20T puts out 150kw and EJ22 only puts out 100kw (or thereabouts) you can still put one in since they have less than 120% more power than the EJ20T - in fact they only have 66% of the power :)

Even without the Forester having a turbo motor as an option the EJ22 would still be allowed since (I assume) it doesn't put out more than 120% of the power of an EJ20. You may run into trouble with the emissions though unless the EJ22 will run on the standard Foz ECU ??

Fat chance of that happening :rolleyes:

Oh but you said SA is the only state that doesn't follow the NCOP rules? We probably have some even more mind bending, confusing and anti-intuitive regulations with each patrol cop having his own opinion of them.
Yes it will need engineering - except only if it is 20% more powerful*

As for SA - your on your own there !!


*previous posts updated to reflect the 20% law, not 15% - my bad :(

The engine had to be an option in that model. Does that mean all Foresters or that model of Forester, ie, SF Foz?

Yep, def below 120%. EJ22 can easily run on standard ECU, even a EJ25 can by upgrading the injectors (Taza is doing this)

Yeah would have to be that model designation - EZ30 was an option in Gen 3 (BH) Liberty but you can't put it in a Gen 2 Liberty (BG) without engineering approval.

OK so that would limit me to the EJ22 as it is still within 120% of the EJ20

Whats the power of the EJ20 in the Foz ? if it is 104kw then you can put an EJ25 in since they are only 125kw.
