“Don’t overheat!” Amen to that. I’m tempted to install the largest oil and trans coolers but my engine only makes 185hp…..

Can't emphasize the fuel commentary enough. I always tell customers to put a little 100 octane in at the track as insurance on their pump gas cars. Whether its fuel starvation, hot temps, or some other unseen circumstance, a little extra octane is cheap insurance. Also, the effects of g-forces on fuel system performance. There are stock cars that will starve the fuel pump if you run them on race tires (Honda S2000 under 1/2 a tank for example). Recently had a customer with a 4-figure hp V8 setup. Didn't have issues for a long time until he made a full throttle acceleration pass on sticky tires with 1/8 of a tank of fuel in a stock fuel tank. The end result was ugly. First (and probably last) time he ever made a full hit on low fuel.

Once again, Mike is dropping dimes. I feel like I can build engines for a living after watching his instructional videos. Keep ‘em’ coming Mike, so bummed you guys got rid of the B13.

If anything Upgrading your coolant system should be one of your fist mods. Relatively easy to do and basically no downsides.

I love Mike's low pulse matter of fact delivery.

As a subi owner I greatly appreciate this video

I could (have?) listen to Mike talk about engines for hours. Great videos!

Couldn't agree more about finding good tuners. I did business with one of the big ones for Chevy years back and he started telling me all kinds of things that didn't make sense. But with what little I did understand in the data logs I saw the engine pulling huge amounts of timing. Turns out they were doing exactly that, pumping the boost, advancing the timing and damping the knock control system. I ended up taking the hptuners license I paid for and doing it myself. It took years of reading and learning and more school to really start understanding things front to back. One thing I've learned is most companies just talk peak power... Rarely is that peak sustainable. The things that made my car faster were not at the peak of the power curve.... They are on both sides of it. I didn't end up with their peak power numbers, but I did end up with a long lived engine that is incredibly fun to drive.

First thing I do when watching Mike’s video..is survey the cars in the background. They always have gems just chilling in back. Like that Em1 👍

If you’re not experiencing cooling issues at low speeds or while idling, there’s no need for another rad fan. At higher speeds, the natural airflow far exceeds what a fan can provide. In fact, a fan can actually impede airflow at high speed.

Autopsy video sounds GREAT! I'm always most confused about what happened first when the big end of the rod is still on the crank without significant bearing damage, the piston is completely destroyed, and the beam of the rod is broken. In that case it's super hard for me to know if the rod bent first, thus breaking out the bottom of the piston via sideloading, or if the bottom of the piston basically pulled apart, thus letting the small end and wrist pin clang around in the bore until the rod gets bent and broken... Anything you can offer to assist with that sort of problem solving would be fantastic.

It kinda depends on what the parts look like. Could be detonation, exceeding the rods or pistons strength, could be sticking in the bore due to bad clearances, heat or detonation or a combination of those. Clogged injector causing all of the above if the other cylinders are fine

Totally hit it out the park with this one Mike. I would have recommended some better oils like your Redline or Schaeffer's and the like, and not parts store swill, unless it's a first start after a rebuild and the oil will be swapped out after a few minutes of running anyway. For me I found an oil cooler and swirl pot were key for track temps to keep engines happy but all these suggestions are great! Next upgrade for me is a fuel surge tank so I don't have to worry about keeping the tank above 1/2 for trackdays.

It’s very important to cover the basic of protecting an engine. As you said, cooling is the key. One good example from Subaru is EJ20R EJ20H EJ206 EJ208. It’s sequential twin turbo and the primary turbo is always boosting. The engine gets hot all the time and cause pings and spin the big end bearing. Especially cylinder number 4. Because it’s hot, oil goes much faster. That’s why so many EJ20 twin turbo died. But if you take care of cooling and fuel routing, you can make it much more reliable

What oil cooler brand is that seems meaty and i like it. Thanks

I am only running about 14psi through a gen 2 Precision 6262 making about 410-420rwhp on 98ron (Australian premium) My bottom end is stock, a weird thing is I have never had really any blow by and I have a catch can I have never had to empty in 6 years. I have put a endo cam into the intake manifold to have a look at the PCV outlet and there is very little oil trace. I know my PCV is good and have direct hoses from the cam covers. Should I be worried or is this a miracle engine? Edit: I should add, I have lots of other mods however stock untouched ecu that has been fine with it and gets a flat 12.5AFR when it comes on boost from about 2.5k to redline. I also have a oil cooler with a Mocul sandwich plate that has a built in oil thermostat with bypass. I took it to a supra club dyno day and the tuner couldn't believe how well the factory ecu had it under control with the stock 440cc injectors.

Thanks for the wonderful video! I didn't know about the spark plug heat range. There is a myth I want you to debunk, my dad has a thing about putting certain spark plug brands in certain cars, for example when I wanted to get spark plugs for my Chevy (relatively modern early 00s vehicle) there were some Bosch ones I was looking at getting, but he swayed against that, and pushed me to get something that goes with GM motors like AC Delcos, as he had some horror stories from friends of his back in the 70s-80s of people putting foreign plugs in American cars. Is this perhaps due to having wrong heat range on the plugs? I want to figure out if this is just mythos or any other actual reason why he may think that, he's not inexperienced with cars either, he built and tuned many motors in his time back in the 70s-80s

Engine autopsy sounds like a great idea, something I had to do for many years as 'service manager' when customers expected manufacturer to pick up the bill or manufacturers denied valid claims. I'm not an engineer (couldn't do the math) and doubt you have experience of this but may find it interesting? 1974 ~77, Honda 250/360 motorcycle had a severe issue with oil feed to cam bearings leading to destroyed cylinder heads at sustained high rpm riding. (as little as 40miles at 70mph/8,000rpm- red-line 9,500 to 10,500 (from the handbook, 'do not operate at extended periods in red zone') They were aware of the problem but most bikes made it out of warranty plus a totally new design was being prepared for 1978. Anyway, long and short of it, around 1987 I figured out modification to oiling system and have since posted details on various vintage Honda sites. The point I'm eventually getting to, full synthetic oil. Running Shell Rotella full synthetic 5W/30 not only prevents any damage, rocker arms running direct on cam actually get polished into a better surface after as little as 2,000 miles (I have a friend with very little mechanical aptitude and even less mechanical sympathy who breaks stuff)

My c7z is a 19 manual with factory large oil cooler. I installed the lg cooling kit that moves the heat exchanger from in front of the radiator to the sides like a zr1. I installed an automatic radiator cause they're slightly bigger than the manual radiators. Factory the car did okay but I could over heat it pretty quick maybe 10 hard minutes of track. Now I can run in 100 plus and not over heat it. The question is on my c7z my coolant temp gets to about 220 max maybe 225 but oil gets to 270 to 275 after say 2 flying laps at cota with ambient of 80. Fast pace like 2:17ish laps on street tires. Time Attack car so usually no more than 2 flyers. Do you think that okay for that car? Not a lot I can do to help oil temps. Factory oil cooler is big.
