robthedoc's ek9 turbo, adventures in boost!


Was a present to myself mate. A guy had ordered it from snap on then decided he didn't want it. Snap on man was out of pocket so I got it at cost price.

After using the unit for the engine swap I deffo have tool/facility envy haha
 
Can't beat those big boxes, bought a black one myself with the split top drawers ha. Shame it's getting full tho
 
Cheers lads, all it's waiting for is sump, exhaust manifold gasket, injectors and oil filter fitting. Hopefully have the clutch/flywheel and gearbox on today.
 
Potential new daily. No mot and a rattle from the engine... Bargain at a smidge over 600 quid. 03 plate. Private one is off. 73k 4 owners.
 
Not a GT tho so no Ray's wheels or leather but has a mint Sony double din and some serious brembo brakes.
 
I'd own one. Purely just for skids and the noise. Wouldn't buy one for more than £600 though lol

So you rebuilding that v6 now?
 
It was too good to walk away from.

Hopefully not mate from a quick look online they're known for chain guides failing so maybe a chain kit. Will need to get a look but won't be till my car is mapped. Nice ornament for the time being tho
 
It's an Irish import that 350z Rob, I take my hat off to you for the build also. It's taken a lot of patience and dedication from you.
 
Cheers mate. Been a long road to get to this stage but I'm happy with how it's coming together!

How do you know it's Irish @LiamEk9 ?
