Mike, I believe that you have oversquare and undersquare the wrong way round. A larger bore than stroke is oversquare.

[@stanceworks]

Doh. You’re 100% right. It was like the third take of the whole shebang and I slipped up!

[@secretsquirrel9722]

I'm glad someone cleared this up for me. I'm not familiar with the K-series but couldn't figure out why someone would go to a torque configuration over an rpm configuration on a track car. If he had the terms reversed = makes total sense now.

[@deagt3388]

I saw some Japanese people that they lowered the Mitsubishi Evo from 2.0 to 1.8 and got 2500PS, maybe it makes sense...@@stanceworks

The Kei car racers in Aus and Malaysia will agree with you the K20 is the racers engine especially for reliably pushing a car around in upper RPM range. Cant wait to see 2024 vids..

[@Hybridesque]

Forget the 535 outside, I was gawping at the Lotus Carlton!

[@TomHamilton-rg7cp]

Great update. I bet you don't sleep well at night with all of this going thru your brain! I'm always looking forward to seeing you work on any of your projects. You have natural talent and a great skill set that gets even better with every project. That all makes it fun for us all to watch!

😂 Hes such a detailed person. I could imagine and I've thought of it before.

[@seanklingelhoefer]

I can't tell you how much I love the fact that you had to build a Ferrari to learn about Honda motors. I was wondering why you didn't start with a K20 but I figured it was cost related but I'm grinning from behind my keyboard. 😁

[@tb8843]

Ooh Lotus Carlton parked next to your 528i 👌

[@ZenDrives]

Love the approach and the journey this whole 308 project has pushed the tuning world - it was one of many, but one of the best mos def. On the K20 swap, and given the ethos of the project, I wouldn't even waste the time and funds. The truth is what benefits any and every engineer ever - TAKE A STEP BACK. The engine you're looking for doesn't yet exist, but soon will. Bench it, keep nailing the suspension and braking, add back in some ergonomic comfort, balance in more user enjoyment while the world keeps pushing drivetrain boundaries.

[@ZeLitruu]

Ive never been an old school beemer or audi fan, what drew me in was the Ferrari and that car is absolutely mental and i loved watching it turn laps cant wait to see it back on track

[@MTNorville]

I love the content, it's just nerdy enough that I actually feel like I walk away feeling like I learned something. I hope one day you, or a similar channel will do a Factory Five kit car.

[@Pstaines439]

Happy new year Mike. Lots of projects there!!! Too many? I hope not. Take care and hope 2024 isn't too stressful for you.

[@SlightlyM3ntal]

My E36 is going on 16 years with me, and I have a very similar feeling to you about yours. It's frustrating, but it's never leaving my hands. There is a lot of magic and memories in that car, and I'm sure it's similar for you with yours. Luckily you've got the ability to hold onto it without any worry, and you can take your time really figuring out the direction you want to go with the car. Best of luck! I've followed your E36 since you were sorting the wiring on BF.c, so you know I'm going to be tuning in as soon as I see any mention about it!

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

13:00 next to that white BMW turd is a Lotus Carlton! A very rare car and even more rare in the US.

[@tommyjness]

Regarding the E36: is it the end goal that you’re romanticizing, or would it be more realistic to fall in love with the journey? With projects like this one, as difficult and taxing as they are, we’ll probably never be truly “happy” with an end result because they’ll never truly be finished. If we stay focused on the horizon, we forget to enjoy the road directly in front of us. Love it for what it is! It’s nostalgia, passion, growth, evolution. It’s a running and driving symbol of your past, present, and future. Love the journey, because that’s what life is all about!

[@jesseselinsky6535]

Find a trashed/friends (Amir) k20 block to mock everything up and get the Ferrari ready so when the motor shows up can plop it in and be close to being ready to go. We want you at SLB on non test laps!

[@mickrichBMXWRXJapan]

Thanks for the updates! Looking forward to seeing the new project, whatever that may be.

[@ninjabob8170]

How did no one talk about the lotus Carlton outside???? Didn’t even know any of them made it to the US???

[@TheMaxijazzkompozyto]

Mike, your e36 was an inspiration for us, remember when we were working on our e30 s50 euro sepc. you put the S54 into the E36 and we thought how is it possible. a photo of your car hangs in our workshop. now I am the happy owner of a 318is s54 dakargelb and it's all thanks to the inspiration of your e36. greetings from Poland

[@timmason5230]

Thanks Mike!

[@retrofitman]

Mike, the e36 is top! Tnx for the video with updating the keys and locks, that motivated me to find a donor set and replace them as well. As the owner didn't have the matching trunk lock, I'll try to fit the pins from the passenger side, as it does not fit to my compact (it has no lock there). I'll put the process on my channel, as it might help someone like yours video helped me! You'r a huge inspiration to keep editing and posting videos 🌶

[@SinsAscendant]

If ever you get stuck on a project for parts etc. I know a lot of us wouod love a workshop tour of all the tools and their best uses so far. Keep it up Mike, You're an inspiration to ud all.

[@Nihil1st1347]

Mike, I think a K20 suits your applications better. As far as I remember, the K24 and K22 use counterwise rotating balance shafts in order to handle bad vibes in high revs. Sometimes less is more.

[@NoClassic]

Pretty sure those were deleted with the dry sump system install.

[@jarrodjordan5293]

Most people swap a ported k20 pump anyway. But yes dry sump deleted it.

[@466rudy6]

It's had enough bad vibes.

[@ilham7345]

[@theoriginalwallace]

Happy New Year, Mike! Some stuff need to be sold to fund the Ferrari's evolution & the new project, sad though it is. I sold tons of rare parts & my other cars to get the Viva to where it is today. Still have 1/3 as many parts to sell! That & sell off investments before it's done. Yes it hurts, but i want to be able to enjoy it before my arthritis (caused by too many stupid accidents & decisions over the years) puts an end to my fun! Cheers. Leigh. PS: I saw a tube chassis build for an E30 somewhere today...

[@tjhunter592]

7.3 Godzilla FTW!!! Congrats on the tow rig, very underappreciated part of vehicle projects!

[@mrs500g]

That lotus Carlton in the background is the best car of the lot

[@andyweber8606]

In the been there done that category, think twice about changing to the Carli Suspension before towing with that Tremor. I’m not saying the Carli can’t/won’t tow but that soft supple ride comes with a trade off while hauling. Keep building cool stuff, I dont care what it is

[@roman3s]

If you put a K20 crank into a K24 block and use a longer rod. You'll get the reduced piston speed advantage from the shorter stroke. While also improving the rod ratio over a K20 block. (Less sideways force into the cylinder walls, good for high boost) And also have the advantage of that most of your existing parts will fit up without any modification as the motor will be externally identical. So I guess that's the question - is a long rod / short stroke K24 build more expensive than the extra costs associated with fitting a K20 and having to remake everything because of the shorter block. Looking forward to seeing the car back on track, good luck.

[@dougmorris9107]

Mike thanks for the update. ...love the old school Ford Motorsport hat!

[@jamespaddon6091]

When the beautiful Audi Quatro first came out as a short chassis I was working at Silverstone race circuit, they had a press day and the Audi went 0=60 mph and back to a standstill in 6 seconds, you have an amazing example don't fu-k it up x

[@Taverius]

Making good use of the flat floor also requires a very stiff setup so that you don't stall it on braking - either because the diffuser becomes over extracted and flow separates, or because the splitter hits the ground and your whole floor stalls. Its really unsettling when a bunch of your grip goes out the window on braking ... 😅

[@piasprojects]

Looking forward to what this year brings!!

[@ilham7345]

K24 block with K20 crank sounds nuts. But the custom conrod is $$$$

[@lockjawjak]

Higher rod length to stroke ratio is king for making power reliably, I wonder if it is worth doing what that 4A package is which is using the stroker engine block (K24 in this case), using a non stroker crank (K20 in this case) and using really long rods to raise the piston up enough to make a normal compression ratio in the taller deck height block. Greatly improves the angle of the rods. In the 4A case they went to a custom crank that had an even shorter stroke than stock to get insanely high rpm but I dont know if a destroker crank for a K20 is available other than an offset grind

[@channghiem5012]

i look forward to your inboard suspension video

[@mikemoye8600]

Yooooo Let’s go for 2024!!! So stoked

[@47kotzur]

The higher the intake pressure the hotter the air gets. Maybe that big turbo is not such a nad idea. Maybe you just need an antilag system to keep it spooled through the corner

[@LeonvanRensburg]

Mike, perhaps your unhappiness with the E36 can be resolved with listing the issues and fixes instead of having undefined possible problems that are creating the unhappiness? You do it so well with the other projects and your skill has grown tremendously, so this car can now also get that pro treatment!

[@69bock69]

Oh lotus carlton !!!!! Thats a proper car

[@ijsk7930]

Yay! some Model A content. Love that car Mike and don’t take this the wrong way but I hope you’re stuck with it so I can at least still see it. Way above my budget…probably too tall for it too 😞

[@sixtring73]

Nice Lotus Carlton next to your 528!

[@willjam465]

Mike, you have great taste in vehicles. Love the E28 as well as the new truck. Here is an idea for a project that would require serious fabrication. How about a wide body E36 wagon with the S65 under the hood? That would be wild.

[@izzatsufian2796]

The new project will be more epic than ever

[@PeTroL420]

You mentioned wanting to reduce spring rates. After you lowered the car, did you make suspension changes to correct for roll center? Lowering a car will cause more body roll because the roll center is moved further from the center of gravity and this creates a stronger torque on the leveraging effect during cornering. I was just watching a video today where the host said that if you correct for roll center, then you can run softer spring and sway bars which will give you more grip since a stiffer setup reduces traction.

[@stanceworks]

All of the suspension geometry has been changed, I designed my own control arms and uprights to make use of the wider fenders and to fix the scrub radius. The roll center should be correct but it’s hard to say without a true cad model of the car.

[@scratchcardsandcollectible7455]

I love the wheels on the Audi, very period correct 👌. The Audi need to get going ,please. I am waiting for this build. Could you maybe share the balancing process of the rotating assembly in a video!!!!!! Honda guys will tell you that the K20 is the way to go. Stronger, higher revving and handles more boost. Correct decision on the Ferrari 🤙

[@pornstarSR]

Did you get an idea back from 4p as to why the engine failed? ( I know the pin was discovered in the last video ) I have a similar problem with a 4p engine, the SAME failure happened. I was wondering what they came back to you with....... they werent super nice on this end.

Don’t do this modification on the front suspension… make it a little higher (eg half an inch) and adjust your bound/rebound. Probably change your springs to softer ones. As of the engine… keep it at 600hp and keep the pedal to the metal.

[@shemheliodore9637]
