Turbocharger installation

Hi all,

 

Saw this over at the LTA website that turbocharger can be installed but need to seek for approval.

 

Superchargers or Turbochargers

The addition of superchargers or turbochargers to a vehicle may adversely affect the safe operation and its exhaust emission characteristics. Therefore, LTA would require the following to be submitted for evaluation:

a) Technical specifications and installation details (including pictures and drawings) of the proposed supercharger or turbocharger.

b) Certification from the vehicle manufacturer stating that the supercharger or turbocharger is suitable for the vehicle on a per make and model of the vehicle.

c) Evidence or test reports to show that the turbocharger or supercharger when fitted to the vehicle on a per make and model basis complied with prevailing exhaust emission standards.

 

Does it mean that if I can find the correct turbocharger for my make and model and get a good installer to install for me, LTA will approve it ?

Hi Jcers,

 

Welcome to MCF ! Do enjoy your stay here and come along for our weekly meetups. More info in the MEETUPS folder. nod.gif

 

Also do check out our RESOURCES folder and TIPS & TECHNICAL RESOURCES folder. nod.gif

 

Even if you get the right turbo + installers, you still have to send the vehicle to LTA for inspection and testing, which they may or may not approve....but you will still have to pay for the fees they charge for the testing and inspection.

 

Case in point some time back is the TTE supercharger for the IS200. nod.gif

Welcome to MCF smile.gif

 

What are you driving? Does ur model comes with turbocharger from manufacturer ?

 

Think point B is the toughest here sweatdrop.gif

 

b) Certification from the vehicle manufacturer stating that the supercharger or turbocharger is suitable for the vehicle on a per make and model of the vehicle.

 

The manufacturer/local agent have to do the papers for you and most likely install for u if they are agreeable.

I have a fren who installed the broquet on his 320...After a while, he said no effect. Not much fuel-saving either.
