NJslvrtypes Customer Build- From Blown A3 to K24 *56K Warning*

[NJslvrtypes]

Well to start this car came to me this week w/ a blown K20A3, 2 pieces of heat wrap behind the manifold, 2 loose manifold bolts, and ic piping preventing car from going in any forward gears so I immediately got to work.

Pulled the blown A3 out (notice the great wrapping!):




While swapping accessories to the K24A1 I found the connecting rod's exit route lol. Right behind the starter.






Tore down the K24A1:



New Pilot Bushing/Resurfaced A2 Flywheel/Comp Stage 4 Clutch:






All A3 Parts swapped to the K24A1:



Unfortunately the turbo needs to rebuilt so I'm held up waiting for Precision to finish it up.

More pics/progress to come....

What turbo kit is it? Custom??? Good luck with the build, your customer should be happy

Was it all the wrapping that had blown up the a3 or what? That k24 should be a good job done.

Bill you didnt post pics of the screwdriver we found between the firewall and manifold lmao?!

[SyckSiR]

had a feeling i knew who this was about lol

[NJslvrtypes]

Some more pics... Car is pretty much done just waiting on heat wrap, metal zip ties, hump coupler for tb, and turbo from precision to finish it up.

K24A1 in:



RBC On (Def took some modifying to the front bulkhead/hood latch. Hood still needs to be modified cause it doesn't close 100%)




Tearing down the Yosolo'd A3:





Rod pulled the wrist pin through the piston... could be a freak accident but chances of that are very very slim.

Come on Precision lol

bill you do good work. and i think the kid should at least have a lawsuit against the people who f'd his shit up. with the screwdriver you said you found and the heat wrap situation its def poor workmanship and if they dont pay for everything then i goes to show them

nice swap
