Reflecting on the workload before Utah: Suffering a total engine failure is a worst case scenario both from a financial standpoint and from a workload perspective. It isn’t just the engine that needs changing - it’s all of the critical components attached to it that need replacing as well. Every oil line and everything an oil line touches needs to be replaced or throughly cleaned (ultrasonically) You also need to put your thinking hat on to configure why the failure occurred in the first place and configure solutions to have that failure not happen again. Believe me - it is a very stressful situation and with minimal time inbetween events (4 weeks isn’t shit all with that much work ahead of you and you’re doing most of it alone). It was a daunting task and I was already beat coming into that round, but I’m extremely grateful for all of you who helped where you could and for the support and guidance of Koji, Zolti, Danny, Sam @autotalent, @reaper_style_ for being a solider and really helping me push through the last week before the event, @hektiks14 for helping when you could, @a.r.c.e for doing me a solid.

Brand new 5stage Barnes 
Every oil, water, and boost/vacuum line and fitting was replaced 
Brand new @borgwarnerboosted 9280 EFR
Intake manifold and piping was professionally ultrasonically cleaned 
Brand new @deraleperformance 100K BTU oil cooler
Brand new and enlarged oil hardlines by @a.r.c.e 
All new multilayer exhaust manifold and turbo to manifold gaskets (@fullracemotorsports) paired with copper BMW locking hardware
Brand new @actionclutch twin disc and flywheel
Hard to find new RB bits from @dsport
Brand new 2200cc injectors 
Few other bits and ends on the car (I wish I could list it all but I can only type out so much on here)
Lot of passion to get this thing back and it felt good hearing it sing on the dyno and ripping it up in Utah. Still doing more work everyday before Irwindale. There’s still so much more I want to do, but for now I’m content.
