What does it take to make a Formula Drift engine survive multiple seasons of abuse and still look brand new inside? In this video, Mike walks you through the teardown and refresh of Dai Yoshihara’s 1000+ horsepower competition engine.
From Callies Ultra rods and cranks to custom JE pistons, King XPC bearings, and beryllium valve seats, everything was treated with cryogenic processing and WPC surface treatment. The results? No measurable wear. No loss of performance. This isn’t just about durability—it’s about consistent, winning performance without constant rebuilds.
We break down the science, the parts, and the process that makes this kind of reliability possible—even with brutal clutch kicks, limiter hits, and nonstop heat cycles. If you’re serious about building engines that last, especially for drifting or other extreme motorsports, you need to see this.
