Parry's k swapped ek9 running ITB's update. 12-4-14 fresh paint, goodies, clean.....


Wow awesome update looking forward to seeing this done! What's the rough figure to get this done?
 
This is going to be interesting :nice: , don't understand why more people don't run itb's on a k-swap, rrc manifolds are nearly half the price if a set of itb's,
 
Looking forward to seeing this build come togehter. Beautiful 9 man, makes me miss mine :( You'll also get a beautiful set of engine mounts in there too ;)

Thanks ash :). Well been speaking to TDI a lot this week, with the spec I and
Going for should be aiming for good 250 BHP maybe going in to 260's because I've got the k20a engine. But I will be happy with the 250 mark will be nuts :).

Hey. Thanks man :). Neither do I to be honest. Great mod and I love NA, the noise will be nuts.
I know yeah but spending £500 on a RRC is just silly when you can spend the little extra and get itbs,
Was going for toda throttle bodies but they are just silly money. When jenveys are just as good but half the price.

This is going to be a monster. Looking forward to it finished! What are you doing with your B16B parts? AEM induction, engine mounts etc?
 
Hi guys. More of a update now, cracking a lot more. After the last update the engine bay has now been painted and looking so clean :)

Had all the holes welded up for a smooth bay (you don't realise how many holes there are ha) I will now let the pictures do the talking :)
most of the holes where all welded up, lininished back and then smoothed over.





first bit day light the 9 has seen in a while..


in the paint room :)


prepping done


primer on


boom! :) fresh engine bay, really happy with the match :) just needs the K20 dropping in ;)






The engine mounts had a flick over is in gloss black, didn't like the polish finish





next update.. engine in and throttle bodies bolted one :)
 
Great project man some quality work gone into it.

Just did a wire tuck myself and didn't know where to put the small fuse box for abs and that see you put it in a good place :nice:

Little update today guys. Car is back home now, start cracking on with running the break lines in, braided fuel lines and fit new fuel pump (walbro 225) this evening,

Then come home start cleaning the engine and spray paint it all up. Then hopefully this weekend get the engine placed it. Lots and lots of bubble wrap oersted. Ha.

Thanks guys :).


 
Hi Guys!!! been a while since the last update, lots to show and tell now, will be updating most night now :). engine is still being kept a secret thou ;)

I've now found a new home for 9, due to a lack of updates I had to move the 9 from the home garage due to building work :( sucks! so Ive got my self a unit now that me and a friend are sharing, he's got a K swapped ek4.

Here goes....

First update is bring the car to the new home....



Next I started to strip it down to a bare shell ready for the prepping for paint!






 
All rear seat mounts removed,





So, all sprit down to bare metal (this took a very long time) really happy with the condition under the paint, hardly any rust just a little service rust :-D



 
Next step was under sealing. so much easier with a air gun and 100X neater then painting it on with a brush, All the rear, rear arches and under the car was sealed.







Once all the oil wax was dried next step was primer. well will let the pictures do the talking for this.





 
Now ready for championship white :-D
So happy with how all this turned out so clean.
