Anytime I see a post from this I am always hoping for a huge update. Love this build

great design and great details.
I love the perfection that is used in the pieces.

What's better than a B8444S?

Two B8444S's.

Block, crank, rods, and pistons look pretty good. Other than that, it's fairly wasted.

The failure mode was fairly obvious once we got the balance shaft out. Rear balance shaft bearing seized up and fell apart, leading to failure of the front balance shaft bearing. Once the shaft was unable to spin, the sprocket sheared off and the timing chain suffered... shall we say "spontaneous catastrophic disassembly". The chain cracked the oil pump housing and broke one of the tensioners. Also found some bent valves.

Haven't looked too closely at anything yet, but first impressions of the design are good. The castings look to be very high quality and the designers have clearly gone to some lengths in order to make a compact and light weight engine.

I hope your car sounds like this!!

Haha, I hope so too! Not sure how the exhaust will look yet, but I can't imagine it will have much in the way of mufflers.

My brother is out slogging with the pressure washer as we speak. Should have a nice assembled mock-up engine by the end of the day.

Decided to go Megasquirt on this build. My brother and I have done MS installs on previous projects and for a few friends, so we're pretty familiar with it. The one thing I've always hated about MS has been the ****ty connectors, the need for a lot of extra hardware, jumper wires, and board mods.

Decided to do something about it, and here's the result.

Designed a replacement main board. Takes an MS3 processor. Has hardware for 8 spark outputs, 8 injector outputs, four cam VVT, dual map sensors, six wheel speed inputs, real time clock, knock sensor interface, spots for two SLC DIY wideband drivers, on board CAN I/O expander with 16 analog inputs and 8 digital inputs, and waterproof automotive grade connectors. There's a bunch of other stuff in there as well. It's a long list.
