robthedoc's ek9 turbo, adventures in boost!


That cylinder though...
Made a right mess of everything didn't it!
Hopefully you got some forged rods and a crank to sell on now?
 
It sure did buddy. When I started to drop the oil/water out the sump to take the engine out it looked like separated salad dressing lol rods,crank and bearing should be good so if someone is building a boosted engine would be a good package. All the bearing clearances were spot on so should work in another block I would of thought. Also be able to salvage a set of ARP main cap studs.
 
Ah yes you had the block line bored/honed with the studs in didn't you.
Make a nice table that block like.
 
That's the plan for it mate gonna try and do something with the head as well. But yeah had it line bored, what a ball ache that was.
 
As Murrray said, forwards and upwards, You have the engine from the state's to look forward to!!
 
Excellent. You got the injectors to run that bad boy at full pressure?
This is going to be mad!
