It must have been difficult to take the high road and not trash 4Piston’s engines to all of UA-cam, but I think it’s very professional of you. You’ll be better in the long run. Keep up the awesome work, Mike.
I bought a motor from 4P based on the first part of the series. Got it, need to put it in still, and now I'm just in that "fingers crossed" territory ;-).
Yeah a good way to go, unlike another UK car UA-cam channel that trash talked another company(unfairly might I add) that resulted in a lot of back lash and even a pause of the channel to evaluate their brand and do a relaunch in a couple of months. Sometimes just isn’t worth the drama
@@Iridtube Not a good feeling. I've assembled all of my motors myself because of this. The machine work is out of my hands. The cleaning and assembly process I can control. If my motors blow up, I've got skin in the game as well.
"I want 1000 hp!!!" Car sits/breaks for 3 years. "Y'know, I just want the f-cking car to drive and not break. And it would be nice if I didn't have to do a 12-hr service on it every outing. And if it pops, I'd like to be able to put a new one in without going back to Oz to get it" I appreciate the honesty Mike. It's nice to see someone actually say what most of us already know.
I have so much respect for how Mike does stuff. He does not dwell on the 3 straight engines having nothing but issues from a engine builder, but he moves forward and does not ignore the tendency to get stuck in sunk-cost, and then he even mosiac's out thier name on the box. Also, because he is such an ardent supporter of honest documentation, that information is easily accessible for those who want it, so they can avoid these issues. You are truly a class act, Mike. 🤟
Thanks for this. Currently dealing with an onslaught of folks saying I am covering stuff up, being dishonest, etc. It leaves me scratching my head sometimes.
You are doing the right thing. Frustrating, but better to move on and look forward. If you have watched Mike for any amount of time, you know he is the real deal.
@@stanceworksMan, forget about those weirdos! Your content is awesome and we're all psyched about you getting tons of new subscribers from the F40 build (which is amazing btw), hopefully this video will get them as pumped for this project as your long time subs are! Guess I'm just trying to say thank you for the beautiful car content, also please don't be afraid to nerd out on as much detail on these builds as you want lol
I'm not sure what kind of meditation it would take to bring most people to the level of Zen that Mike shows throughout the build of the 244GTK. The calm displayed regardless of the setbacks is incomprehensible to me , I'd be like a rubber ball in a washing machine during the spin cycle 🤔
I have a RS Machine b18c5 turbo making just under 500hp in my time attack racecar and it's been fantastic for the past 8 years. I do give it a refresh every other year replacing bearings and do a full inspection but it's never had any issues.
I'm so glad to hear the F40 build brought in so many new subscribers, I've followed all the 244 episodes and still could use this refresher, so it was a welcome addition anyway.
0:30 "130k new subscribers..." I had to pause the video to check the # of subs (I've been her a while). Good on ya Mike! Your skills and content quality deserve that and more.
10 seconds into the video and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR !!! That you want to go racing in the 244, has been what I've been longing to see on your channel. Since I've watched for the past few years, the building and designing of the car, testing and tuning, and you barely having the chance to drive it, (I've even bought your skateboard), I too have been anxious and PRAYING for you to make more content of you racing the car. THANK YOU !!! for saying this. I'm still interested in your other builds and projects, but like a pregnant mother, I'd love to see what you've created with the 244...on the track and not just sitting in your shop garage.
When the control arms built count is higher than the laps completed count, something had to change. More reliable targets and a local builder should mean the laps to arms ratio starts to move into a happier place. Can't wait for the ontrack videos.
Glad to see you switching to a (hopefully) more reliable engine build with more practical power goals. 1000+ HP sounds great for the videos, but hard to handle on track and rough on parts. This should be a lot more enjoyable setup and better for dialing in the chassis. Keep up the good work!
@@M-PASTA Just cause you can reach 1000hp on a dyno doesn't mean you run that tune on a race track.That seems blatantly obvious but my fault for not realizing people might not understand that.
This series has been very helpful for me. Not just the technical and procedural items, but the solidarity of knowing someone much more experienced than me has to iterate and troubleshoot as much as I do. Last May I blew a headgasket and missed the whole summer car meet season. I was gutted and had never taken apart an engine before, but with some help from my brother I got started and took the engine out in my Grammy's garage. The engine is now almost ready to be put back in after a ton of research, learning, problem solving, and doing things over. I can't wait to get the engine bay back together and start it for the first time. I'm so excited and terrified that it won't work, but seeing awesome people like you who have the resilience to rebuild and redesign until you succeed is very inspiring. It shows me that I can do it too if something goes wrong, even if it sucks and I just want to drive the car. Good luck!
Super stoked to see this thing come back to life. In a way it feels like the re-birth of what really sucked me into watching the magic that happens at your shop via UA-cam. It's also absolutely absurd that you're working on this, a Honda powered Ferrari Time Attack car and there's just an F40 sitting in the background. Bananas.
Thanks for the recap. As someone who has been watching for years now, i have a life outside of this youtube channel so its hard to remember everything.
Been with this project from the beginning. I’m loving the follow through with this car. Most YT builds get thrown together…run barely well enough to shoot a vid (or go to SEMA) then are pushed to the back corner of the shop to collect dust and never be seen again. Well done, keep it coming. ❤
it was the best call to switch from engine builders for your mind and wallet, 4Piston Racing got themselves an extremely bad rep because of treating you like that and also the BoostedBoiz as well, unforgiveable that their engines, being expensive as they are, were prone to near if not catastrophic failure on the first kilometers of running, absolutely pathetic
Could any of it be related to break in period? I don't remember if either had a break in and for an engine priced as it was I'd expect better too. Still I'm curious to root cause of failure.
@@griffinsells2611 comments on previous videos speculated that they used.. used parts on the new engine, some were from a blown engine even, in the video even said that the second engine's first heating cycle, was throwing sheared aluminum all over, so, chances are that is not just one part being failure but many at that point
I believe you've made the right choice. Us out here in the peanut gallery also have a desire to see that beauty on the track, and hear the sounds of pure joy from the driver behind the wheel👏👍😎
Respect the idea of the 500hp K-Motor. Seems like the people with the most "success" with 1000+hp K's are going down the dragstrip 1/8 - 1/4 mile at a time and not necessarily racing/idling for hours. Love the content. Don't be afraid to get bigger rimmed glasses.
Finding a local engine supplier and expert is going to make things a lot easier for you. I love the direction you're going with the 244. Have you thought about changing the designation of the car to 204 instead of the 244? It is a 2.0 liter motor and not a 2.4 anymore. Great to see you working on the car again and I'm looking forward to seeing the on-track video. Great content, Mike!!!
I remember the time I mentioned the use of boutique parts and begged to get this beauty on the track. I've got a lot of flak for that, but pleased the car is getting a usable engine now so you can race your heart out. This car needs to be driven. Nice looks are cool, but racing is king! Glad you took this route 🎉
THIS IS THE BEST APPROACH YOU HAVE TAKEN ON THIS PROJECT👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏. For what it's worth from a guy that raced competitively for many years in NASA Super unlimited class in the past and many time attack races and won my share of races when I got the formula right. The first thing I did was lower boost and power and Focused on reliability, driveability, aero and downforce, Momentum is Everything. To win you first have finish the race. PS. I was an UR Quattro owner in the 90's Very tail happy car and had the crash of my life, lived through it and turned my attention to track racing instead. A big fan of your Channel. Keep up the exciting builds coming✌✌.
The Clutchmasters 7.25" twin disc can be used on the street, but my experience is that the light aluminum flywheel makes life miserable. Go with the steel chromoly flywheel if it's available. It's still about a 1/3 lighter than stock (vs 60% lighter for aluminum), but gives a much better chance of getting off the line without stalling.
Mike, please take care of your back when lifting or lowering heavy objects. Refer to 11:30 where the other guy helps you lower the engine. He's doing it the right way. Love your work
When you first started the K24 I thought it sounded TERRIBLE. But then again, high lift cams always sounded bad to me at idle. Putting the VTEC back in was a bit of a shock to me but then hearing how good it sounded at idle, it suddenly made sense.
It was cool getting to see this thing cruise around Laguna last year. Im excited to see it actually get to rip around it and plenty of other tracks this year! Racing is obviously always going to have it's headaches, but hopefully there are a lot less of them this time around.
Don't even start to think I didn't notice the drag slicks sitting under the Quattro in the background.... Holy schikeies... big billet 5 cylinder and single turbo? Please say yes...
It's the same center lock wheel you can see over the 244 hood, right? It's never going on the Audi. Guys have just been mocking around. And the last time we heard the Audi was going to be a street car.
I also am very glad you have gone for something reliable ,with the intention of driving and having some fun from all that hard work. Building and rebuilding is great for a while but after all that time and financial investment you have to get some payback sometime. Will be great to see you dial it in on the track too.
If you watch PFI speed they regularly say that these Honda motors can reliably put out 600 on stock internals, and back it up (they drag race of course though). Once you go higher you have to make lots of changes like oil pump upgrades so you don’t overspin the pump when the engine hits 10k rpm and internals/valvetrain
I resisted the suggestion from UA-cam until the 308 was almost done... When I finally watched an upload and "got it" made me regret having taken so long to become a Sub.... Great series, absolutely GrEaT! 🎉
Very nice car and piece. Refreshing having a automotive video with an unwanted soundtrack the same volume or higher than the audio. Missing the BMW's but having an F40 build? Wow!
I’ve watched all the videos about this car build And I just want to see it make a good power and doing some good laps on track without braking down Love your videos and the attention to details
Mike from Motoiq could also be a great help for you and I think somewhat local to you (I'm on the opposite side of the world to you guys but have been watching and reading stuff from Motoiq for years)
You can google them and find that they have a LOT of unhappy customers. Stuff like being charged for parts and work not done on the motors, parts from blown motors being used in "new" motor builds, issues with engine reliability and major issues with communication and them meeting deadlines.
This car has been tons of heartache. Love to see you continue to grind and work on it as it's such an amazing project. I'm massively impressed by your attitude with all the setbacks. Looking forward to seeing 2025 plans come to fruition.
1000hp on track is overkill anyway. it can be used but not used 100% of the time and safely. The car is light so like 600hp around would be perfect. Ideally, its gotta be speced for the class you're in and tire you want to use unless you're using something like boost by gear where you never get the full power until you're in like 4gear and above.
Sending Positive Vibes for 2025 Mike! I’ve followed the entire build from the beginning until now! The amount of effort, time, money, and dedication requires real Grit 👊 Would love to check out your shop some day 👍 And as usual with my comments more BMW content 😝
Yepp, a lot of people get hung up on horsepower, aero and tires - but they forget that the complete package is the most important. All depends on what the racecar should do and how single parts interact with each other to compose a behavior. 😎✌️
Circuit racing definitely is significantly tougher on the engine, those drag racer numbers is a completely different thing to achieve continuously on track. Hope this concept works out !
Happy to see the og Ferrari running and happy but I have a question!! I am a small-time UA-camr hopefully up and coming with multiple builds. How do you still stay excited about a build once it's gotten to the point of this one and not get completely wrapped up in the new build? Maybe that's just my adhd but I struggle with this hard😂 once a build is pretty much finished, all I can think about is the next build
Still don’t understand how you’re not over a million subscribers. This is by far some of the best automotive content.
Absolutely true. Great Builds, Great Videos. Channels a gem.
Ahh, you finally reached the "I just want to race the damn car" phase of engine programs. I love this plan, looking forward to more on-track videos.
It sounds good in theory. The problem with being a UA-camr is the general audience doesn’t want to see you drive only the build
I love that mode ! Let’s just effn race !!
It must have been difficult to take the high road and not trash 4Piston’s engines to all of UA-cam, but I think it’s very professional of you. You’ll be better in the long run. Keep up the awesome work, Mike.

Cars about to scare you more with less power. Glad you went with a different builder. Can't wait to see hit the track again.

Ideally, its gotta be speced for the class you're in and tire you want to use unless you're using something like boost by gear where you never get the full power until you're in like 4gear and above.
Sending Positive Vibes for 2025 Mike!
I’ve followed the entire build from the beginning until now! The amount of effort, time, money, and dedication requires real Grit 👊
Would love to check out your shop some day 👍
And as usual with my comments more BMW content 😝
Ohh yeah! These are the videos i'm here for. Let's see some lap times.
Yepp, a lot of people get hung up on horsepower, aero and tires - but they forget that the complete package is the most important. All depends on what the racecar should do and how single parts interact with each other to compose a behavior. 😎✌️
Car looks so good
I’m look forward to seeing your 308 on track in person.
The little puff of smoke on start up lets you know it's a real Italian car.
Very Cool Car
Sometimes a little bit over the top of my head geeky, that being said I'm still able to follow and enjoy what you have to show 👍🏽
Circuit racing definitely is significantly tougher on the engine, those drag racer numbers is a completely different thing to achieve continuously on track. Hope this concept works out !
I'm glad to see the 308
Not too many things nerve racking like starting a new engine for the first time only for it work right. Sounds healthy!!
I love the current colour way but I also would love to see this car in the blue that EK civics came in.
The former engine builder is 4 piston right? Why blur the name on the crate?
Don't burn bridges.
1 k24 2 k20s..all 3 from 4 pistons..From now on we can also called them Broken Pistons or No Pistons 😂😂
@bmwe-op4jx no, I'm talking about who built the engine
@@E_JIM3N3Z11b it was build by 4Pistons company
Happy to see the og Ferrari running and happy but I have a question!! I am a small-time UA-camr hopefully up and coming with multiple builds. How do you still stay excited about a build once it's gotten to the point of this one and not get completely wrapped up in the new build? Maybe that's just my adhd but I struggle with this hard😂 once a build is pretty much finished, all I can think about is the next build
Sweet!
If you are new to the channel, know that Mike really loves making suspension wish arms…like a lot. Cannot wait for that part of the F40 build.
Like your decision of moving on, love you chanel
Very nice
Flashbacks got me like thinking about nam. Savage. Bruv, you choose your new engine builder guilt free! Gotta try new things.
