VSM EK9 K20 Turbo Project


Did you just bolt the shifter on top of the centre console?

You'd be forgiven for thinking that, but no - it's mounted to some aluminium bosses I machined, which in turn are mounted solidly to the tunnel. There'd be far to much flex if it was just attached to the plastic console.
 
Lovely work. Nice idea with the intercooler mount/cross member brace
 
Not just built, Hand built by yours truly!
Amazing work and some really nice touches too.
 
Here's the above expansion tank fitted:



Also made a catch tank first thing this morning:






Progress will probably be a little slower over the next week as we've a big job in, but hopefully I'll still get chance to do the odd bit here and there!
 
Bolted some more parts up this afternoon - starting to get an idea of how it'll all look when complete. Ported the RBC inlet to match the k-tuned 80mm throttle body as well.





 
Not had a great deal of time on the car over the last week, but have managed to get a few bits and pieces done with it. Most of the hot parts are welded up now and the turbo heat shield finished off.







 
Some really good fabrication work right there.. everything looks very well designed and thought out and it will really pay off
 
This is looking great! Coming along nicely now :) love what youve done with the heat shield.
What sort of boost levels are you planning on running? I take it you are already using a k-pro?

Keep up the good work

Ben
 
I don't think Will'll allow me much more than around 10psi to start with on this engine - more boost will have to wait until we've got a proper one built up ready.
K-pro v4 has been on from when it was first put together N/A
