If that model car didn't come out with that size engine, then yes it should be engineered. But allot of people don't bother. It will only become a problem if you get caught.
its not worth the hastle trust me i put a rb25det in my VL SL which was only rb30e non turbo and i got caught and its done nothing but cause a hastle so i would not bother
Nice advice... lol
VG's came factory with a 304 V8... so you can legally put one in without an engineers certificate as it was an option when buying one.
was an option with one however that particular chassis number did not have one and they will argue that fact same with my mate had a n/a vl and he did a hicomp setup by bolting the turbo on etc and he had to get it engineered because his particular vehicle didnt have that as standard they are cracking down on all of it just a way to supposably stop hooning

Your mate got sucked in then. Check the vicroads website. You can legally option up your car to any engine offered by the manufacturer as long as you upgrade suspension and brakes to suit without requiring an engineers certificate.
