Mick has been a long time friend of Andre and of HPA, and comes into the conversation ready to lay down a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things engine building, dyno tuning, and drag racing.
With a common shared interest in both Mitsubishi's 4G63 and Nissan's SR20 engine platforms, Andre and Mick go way off the deep end in this one. We couldn't quite tell if this conversation evolved into a 'who knows more about these engines' contest, or it was simply - to put it crassly - just a couple of very knowledgable pigs in sh*t, talking shop. Either way, it's a great listen for anyone who wants to get way into the finer details on what makes these two Japanese performance engine staples great, and not so great.
Mick also drops a surprising amount of trade secrets into the mix over the hour-long conversation, and there are some great discussions on the differences between pump fuel, E85, race gas, and methanol - not just the price and the numbers, but what they all actually mean for a tuner sitting on a dyno.
Do you enjoy listening to two experts go full geek on their chosen field? If so, this is the episode for you.

Absolute gold as usual mate! What is the best sequential to pair in with the 4g63/64 for a track- drift application for a rear wheel drive/mid-engine application?

[@hpa101]

Glad you enjoyed this one 😎 There isn't a one size fits all answer to that question sorry! Budget probably pays the biggest part of that decision given the actual gearing options range widely across almost all options from there - Taz.

​@@hpa101 Thank you for the response Andre have learned so much from the channel the last couple years! Maybe I should-ask have you seen any mid-engine 4g63’s race cars as rear wheel drive? Need to contact PPG.
