What is the possibility of different capacity engine swap

[Shanilka Lohitha]

Hello guys, i want to know the legal possibility and procedure of getting an engine swap done to a bigger capcity engine, for an example changing from 4cylinder engine to V6/inline6. Is it possible? And if possible what is the legal way to do it. 

Thanks.

AFAIK there is a limit... you can swap an engine from the same manufacturer within 500 cc of the original engine. I.e You can swap in a 2000 CC SR20 engine to a Nissan car that originally had a 1500 CC QG15 engine. To the best of my memory the process was - 

1) Obtain proof of purchase of the new engine with the engine number 

2) Your car needs to have everything else in stock condition (including wheels) 

3) Take the car to RMV and get it weighed produce the other documents (i think there's a form called Change of attributes or something in RMV)

Best thing is to call RMV and get the exact up-to-date procedure.

Anything's technically possiblle ,,

you'll need to update the reg doc.

the car's value might be ffected badly.
