Mike, I believe that you have oversquare and undersquare the wrong way round.

A larger bore than stroke is oversquare.

I love that lotus Carlton in the yard, now that’s a weapon!

[TomHamilton-rgcp]

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!

13:18 the Lotus Carlton on side 😮, def a badass sedan

[twodogsyyc]

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..

[kreparAZ]

very stoked for this year for you mike. some good ideas you laid out here and im here for em. get it dude. keep doing what you do dude!

[henrikcarlsen]

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

[aaronschen]

never really looked at your subscriber #. I figured you were in the millions based on coolness of cars, scope of projects, and skill of work. Best wishes for 24, I suspect your subscriber number will blow up

[Hybridesque]

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

9:56 might be a weird question, but why did you choose the RT615K instead of something like a RT660?

[Nihilst]

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.

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

[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.

[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.

14:40 PLEASE PLEASE COME TO THE RIDGE!!!! I live down the street and would love to get a chance to meet you!

[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.

[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. 😁

[EECivic]

Good things ahead, still love your content. Good luck for 2024

[SlightlyMntal]

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!

Ooh Lotus Carlton parked next to your 528i 👌
