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

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.

just in case it is not found elsewhere in here...
